Hawkeye in Age of Ultron

Age of Ultron #1 kicked off with an absolutely driven and relentless Clint Barton on a mission to save a kidnapped Spider-Man before he could be turned over to the Avengers greatest enemy. After Age of Ultron #5 the surviving heroes have divided with one team taking the fight to the human hating android and Wolverine going rogue. Hawkeye was the breakout character of the first issue. Brian Michael Bendis tells Marvel.com why Clint was chosen to show the world in the aftermath of Ultron’s victory.

“It was more about picking a character who would not thrive, but do well in this situation. We imagined that [Hawkeye] was exactly Continue reading Hawkeye in Age of Ultron

The family reunion you’ve been waiting for!

Cyclops face to face with his son in Cable and X-Force #7 out this week!

Scott and his revolution team recruited new students away from Logan’s school in the All-New X-Men #10 and Uncanny X-Men #4 crossover by Brian Michael Bendis.

Will Scott try to lure a member of Cable’s crew to his new Xavier School?

Here’s what writer Dennis Hopless says of the Cyclops/Cable dynamic:

“They’re both arrogant tacticians who prefer giving orders to explaining themselves. Their relationship is more complicated because Scott didn’t get the opportunity to raise Nate. Cable respects Cyclops, but as a peer not a parent. And yet, nature beat out nurture in this case because Scott ended up with a son who shares his most irritating personality traits.”

This stunning Salvador Larroca cover to Cable and X-Force #7 says it all: Daddy’s Home.

This will be the first time Cyclops and Cable have reunited since Scott formed the new Uncanny X-Men. How will Nathan respond?
