STAFF PICKS :: HAWKEYE #7 :: JANUARY 30, 2013
SETH’S PICK :: HAWKEYE #7: Aside from being one of the more unique superhero comics on the shelves, this week you have another, even better reason to give Hawkeye a try. In the immediate aftermath of of Hurricane Sandy, writer Matt Fraction was moved to pen a story about the everyman Avenger dealing with those affected by the storm. This makes perfect sense, as the book is very much grounded in the actions of an ordinary man facing down big obstacles. If that’s not enough of a reason to check it out, it’s worth noting that Fraction is donating all of his royalties from this issue to the Red Cross. That means the more copies of the book that sell, the more money the Red Cross will get to help those in need. You can buy this book and know that you’ll be making a small difference in the lives of others. The other nice thing about this issue is that it’s kind of a jumping on point, so if you missed Hawkeye #1-6, you can still read this book and be on the ground floor. Hawkeye has become a regular sell-out for us, and for good reason. Pick this one up, read one of comics’ best superhero books, and help raise money for the Red Cross all at the same time.
I lost my entire collection and house to a fire December 15th. My wife and boys were safe I was safe. Thank goodness the Red Cross was there to put us up at a hotel and help my family get clothing and other stuff we needed. They just made us feel like we were still human and that it wasn’t the end of the world. Even though it felt like it… I lost over 32 years of comics, autographs, prints, t-shirts,the list goes on. Alright back to issue #7 of Hawkeye I bought an issue ” reserved” last week at the mini con. And I plan on getting a couple more issues when it comes out. It’s for a really good cause and group of people that help people. Well sorry for getting all wet blanket on here. Looking forward to Heroes Con 2013.
