DragonCon 2016 cosplay photos part 3:

A Star Wars duel, light-up Totoro, landlady not to be messed with, Captains Marvel and America, friends as Rocket Raccoon and Beast, Squirrel Girl, a sleepy Snorlax, Ranma 1/2 group kickin’ it oldschool, an amazing X-Wing model, and High Five robot had a sensor in the glove counting - he was well over 2000 when I gave him one.

Can he save his friend? Can he turn the Winter Soldier back into Bucky? Is that even possible? While the Winter Soldier, from most other people’s point of view, is the deadliest, worst assassin of the past 70 years. So some people are like, ‘Cap, you’ve got to let it go. He’s not the guy that you used to know.’ So it’s a surprisingly personal story with a simple and very efficient plot that I think allows all those characters to have a presence and interact in a way that’s different from other films we’ve made.

Oh good. I hadn’t been keeping up with recent news (and haven’t seen the Ant Man teaser tag), but between the Civil War title and the approximately fine hundred characters confirmed, for a while it seemed like we might need to really worry about whether that story was still central to the movie at all.

I’m going to read All-New Hawkeye, dammit. I’m going to read it. With comic books, I have so much trouble making the jump to a new writer after I’ve grown attached to the previous one. This is 100% a personal hangup and I hope I can push past it to give this book a chance.

I couldn’t make the jump to Remender Captain America after Brubaker Captain America…ok, that might be a bad example because there are loads of reasons I honestly don’t like Remender Cap, but there at the beginning it was because I was too hung up on Brubaker’s run to care about anything else.

And oh I’m hung up on Matt Fraction’s Hawkeye. I’m hung up on the complexity and pathos he brings to these characters. I’m hung up on how he writes Kate Bishop, on the way he manages to make me cry every freakin’ issue. (seriously, dude, why?) I’m hung up on all the artists. Just everything about this freakin’ book, y’all.

Fraction’s Hawkeye was the first Marvel comic book I picked up after nearly 7 years away from their stuff. I was there right from the first issue, even though I didn’t know what to expect. It had Fraction’s name on it and it was about an archer character I kind of liked. That was enough. I got more than I bargained for.

This book has been shared jokes with friends, something tying us together across distances. This book has been the joy of taking a group of my gal pals to their first comic shop, and friends whispering “aw, coffee, no” followed by crazy giggling. This book has been tight, clinging hugs because something in the story touched an emotional raw spot again. 

There will be other comics but this one will always be special. Although I respect the hell out of Fraction’s decision to move on, I’m going to miss this book. Thanks for an awesome ride, man.

I so hear you on the new author jitters. It's a big reason I prefer author-owned comics properties, even though I know there's good stuff going on in the right corners of the big-2 world. There's always that threat of someone else coming in and taking things in a direction you can't enjoy. Couldn't keep up with The Authority after Ellis, etc. etc.

Of course, I mainly read in trades, so I still have more Fraction Hawkguy to look forward to for the time being...

Retro-style posters that were given out to the cast and crew of the Captain America films. I absolutely love these, and really wish they’d been the official one-sheets. The First Avenger poster is absolutely beautiful.
