Why don't you just cut up your issue and...Jim,<br /><br />Why don't you just cut up your issue and put it together the way you like it? I thought I read somewhere (letters page?) that Matt always makes sure the story works in order first, before he decides to change it around (blame Pulp Fiction for highlighting the out of sequence approach).<br /><br />Even though I thought issue 006 was "Awesome", I voted for it in the best of the week poll primarily to see it go 6 for 6 when All-New X-Men #004 was really my favorite. <br /><br />I think part of the charm of the series is that you just come away from the reading experience knowing you really enjoyed it. Was it the best ever? Probably not, but it's consistently good and worth the three or four bucks (that's saying something right there).<br /><br />I don't think you're wrong about it starting to get a little stuck in a particular formula though (and I enjoyed your explanation). I don't consider this the Hawkeye that I've been reading about for years. It's not a new face under the mask, but it's just a new personality under the old face. With continuity thrown out the window a lot of times, isn't it nice to just have a good story be told the way the writer wants without worrying about reboots and the like? <br /><br />My favorite part of the series is his interactions with Kate. I think story-wise the issue where she turned out to be disguised as Madame Mask was better than this past one.<br /><br />Now go take some time watching the second season of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes on Netflik. It's wonderful and I love the way they blend in 50 years of continuity into something the fits together much more concisely. I watched the Ant-Man (Scott Lang) episode yesterday and it was partially the familiar Marvel Premiere #47-48, but they added Luke Cage (Bendis version)and Iron First (70's outfit) into the mix.<br /><br />So have a very Merry and SWEET Christmas!Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894454259041852707noreply@blogger.com
