Cover up: Hawkeye #4

No deep analysis of this cover — and no offense to the Hawkeye fans out there — but I've never really warmed up to the Marvel archer, so this just makes me laugh and laugh:

I especially like the way Reed and Sue couldn't be bothered to show up for the funeral; "Eh, just send Johnny, that'll be good. Make Ben take 'im." And what's with the women, with the exception of Black Widow, covering their faces? Are they weeping while the men-folk stand around stoically looking constipated?

Now that I think about it, that's pretty much what I'd expect to see at Hawkeye's funeral. (Oh, relax — it doesn't really happen; Green Arrow, on the other hand, actually died. Oh, wait ...)

Friday Night Fights: Mockingbird breaks a bad, bad habit

You know that old joke about how tough Catholic school nuns are?

Believe it.

OK, so Blackbird didn't say "bless you" after you sneezed, but shooting her in the back seems a little ... um, extreme. Couldn't she have dropped a couple of Hail Marys or ... hey, what're you doing now?! Why're you taking off your ...

HOLY MOSES! I think Mockingbird could use some help from the cross ... the double-cross!


Bahlactus likes to fight just for the hell of it.
