It has been a bit since I have posted a comic book of the week, and some of you might even notice that my 'Comic Book of the Week' tab has been completely removed. Unfortunately time has become scarce for me, and it has been only recently that I have caught up on my stack and been able to reasonable post a comic book the week. Hopefully, I will be able to stay up on my readings, but if I'm not then the lack of a post will be its indicator.
This week marks another introductory week for Marvel's NOW! promotion and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the week's pickings. The Indestructible Hulk was a fantastic start, especially considering that it was coming off the heels of Aaron's spectacular Hulk run. Iron Man #1 was simply atrocious in my opinion, and my only hope for the character is that justice will be served in the newest incarnation of Guardians of the Galaxy. Rocket Raccoon equals awesomeness...always.
However, for this week, I was pleasantly surprised by Captain America #1 as well as Matt Fraction's Hawkeye #4. I thought that Captain America added more depth to the already famous character by showing is about of Rogers' childhood and by paying homage to some of the most classic Captain America villains. As for Hawkeye, it was not only hilarious, but it holds true to the character and firmly cements the increased popularity of one of Marvel's most underdog characters. Hopefully, Fraction's first official story arc with the character holds strong and it finishes out just as famously as it started.
