Okay, so I just finished reading New Avengers # 50 at lunch, and this page bothered me.newavn050_int-52Yes, Hawkeye deserves to be upset about Bullseye wearing his costume and taking his name, no doubt.  That one I’ll give you, Mr. Bendis.  But look at what Osborn’s done to the THUNDERBOLTS, man – a team Hawkeye himself used to lead.  Heck, for that matter, look at what’s happened to Moonstone — a woman he used to be (almost) in love with.

I think this kind of thing is my biggest issue with these Bendis Avengers comics.  Not that they’re bad ideas (although some of them are), not that nothing really ever happens or gets resolved in them, or that they have terrible artwork.  It’s the missing nuances of these characters.  I mean, I’m not dying for continuity steeped comics, or a complete recap of how Hawkeye left the Avengers for a time to go lead the Thunderbolts into legitimacy.  But it might’ve been nice if Ronin had given Moonstone’s name instead of Luke Cage.
