Synopsis: Hawkeye and Hawkeye take aim at another season. But it's not all straight as an arrow for Clint and Kate. A deep-seated rift that stretches across time, brings old man Clint and a wiser Kate back together as they chase down mistakes from their past. The star-studded team of Jeff Lemire and Ramon Perez return, bringing you another inspired look at the world of Hawkeye.
My thoughts? This iteration of All-New Hawkeye didn't start off quite as well as the last one did, however, the first one was so universally loved, myself included it would be hard to replicate let alone surpass. This book picks up a while after the last series concluded and the rift between Clint and Kate is still very large after they came to blows deciding what to do with the mutated children eventually turning them over to S.H.I.E.L.D. This series, much like the last, also covers two timelines although this time we're going 27 years in the future rather than back into Clint's past. Turns out the kids are being used by Mandarin as a W.M.D. and levelled half of China. Grown up Hawkeyes have to put the tights back on and fix their mistake but can they beat the Mandarin let alone get to the kids?

Synopsis: Midnight is on the hunt, tracking down the mysterious Crow King. Can the claws of justice outwit this fowl villain and uncover his grand scheme?
My thoughts? Midnight is a member of the Hero Cats of Stellar City, a group of cats that got together to protect their humans and their city... Turns out their newest threat will involve saving the entire world. If you haven't been following along in the pages of Hero Cats you may be lost, however they do give you a recap section, though strangely enough it's at the back of the book. In any event Midnight is a fearless defender that is a bit of a loner but he's always trying to dole out justice. The art style of this book is beautiful, it's more inks than art but for a Midnight book it fits perfect and is stunning to examine. Not a lot happens here as Midnight simply inches towards catching The Crow King and getting Bandit back from another dimension. Step one: Learn to defeat his minions... Check.

Synopsis: First spectacular issue! A great jumping on point! Sure to go up in value! Don't miss out on the series everyone is calling "Howard the Duck"! The last page will shock you! Nothing will EVER be the same again! Hey! Where are you going? Come back! Waugh!
My thoughts? Like Hawkeye above, Howard The Duck was another relatively new book that got a new #1 despite having the same creative team post Secret Wars, which due to delays is actually still ongoing but anyways... See on the cover that "Plus: Gwenpool" part? Yeah. It was surprisingly really good! I might have to work the ongoing into my titles but we'll see, Howard decides he wants to go back to his own planet and Dr. Strange tells him how but he's stopped right before fully entering the portal somehow and at the end of the book we meet some bizarro versions of some favourite characters from the previous volume. I'm just going to grab some popcorn and enjoy seeing where this goes... :)
