HAWK'GUY issue #6 Okay, okay. Let me get this out right up front, bro. Any comic series that not only shows us, the reader, that our beloved hero owns a laser disc copy of BLADE RUNNER, but then also proceeds to have our hero quote from said movie, is not only a comic series worth talking about, it is one worth owning.
This has to be the funniest comic on the market. And yes, sometimes the humor takes center stage, but with-in these pages there is also a great story about a normal guy just trying to make it through life as a hero, a mentor, an Avenger and a landlord.
Thanks to the great David Aja on art, scenes in this book are often just as hilarious without the dialog. Case in point in this issue, we find our hero, Clint fighting along side Wolverine and Spidey. They are up against the notorious and often ludicrous, A.I.M. The great thing is how Aja presents it like a video game ...
The pic just can't do the page justice, but it is awesome.
I know I have talked a lot of smack about certain comics, some good, some bad, but this series is my favorite title on the shelf right now. Bar none. Even better than my Valiant books and that is saying a lot.
The only thing keeping this issue from being a perfect 10, is Aja takes a little too much liberty with some of the panel placements and a couple pages kinda get muddled as far as which panel should be next to read. It's not too bad, but enough to know the issue down a tad.
