Misleading charts

Someone wanting to cast Zooey Deschanel as Hawkeye

Me

40% of marvel's readers are female according to marvel user

Lemire's shit sold badly compared to Fraction so might as well see if this one works

I wasn't asking for that art but I was wanting separate Kate and Clint books, so me I guess

Hi

That statistic comes from the fact that 40% of the people who buy Marvel Merch are female. To extrapolate from that that 40% of the people actually reading the comics are female is insane.

People who don't read comics.

The worse part of Fraction's run were Kate solo issues.

This

"nerd girls" and I know a handful of them, looooooove merch but usually dont do a ton of book reading, like they'll read just enough to feel they've got it and their fandom is justified....

ugh, I just said fandom. I need a shower.

You just said ugh too

oh sweet christ someone just shoot me, then i don't have to bother showering.

I would happily shoot you.

Hey I loved the annual.

If this leads to more Amerikate porn, I'm all for it.

Waifufags

I miss when Hawkeye had a personality.

A lot of that percentage is mom's buying comics for their kids.

I'm pretty sure most female would rather read a Clint + Kate story rather than a Kate solo story. It's what I call the Remington Steel Effect.

Thats not even close to being true

i was
kate is great
get fucked

I sure as hell wasn't get that overhyped constantly shilled bullshit out of here!

Kate is bae.

Is she is so great why isnt she real ?

>Dreamworks face

Exactly. If merch sales equaled comic sales, Batman would be selling millions of comics every month.

>supporting rape

how much longer until clint cums inside her

After patriot and speed finish running trains on her

Whatever happened to Patriot?

No idea. I guess they planned to use him for something, and nothings come up.

People looking at the success of Fraction's Hawkeye run and assuming Kate was the reason it was so popular, and not Clint and Kate covering each others' flaws.

Also gotta get them Hunger Games fans boy

>Does this mean The Hawkeye Initiative is problematic and sexist now?

I'd rather just read a Clint story, I've never liked Kate

This is a hawkcest thread now

I was. I've liked Kate since Heinberg's Young Avengers.

What are you talking about? Incompetent dunce who's lucky he doesn't shoot himself with his arrows is classic Clint behavior.

Kate was a nice, if unremarkable, character before someone decided she needed to be a hyper-competent feminist icon.

Gillen wanted to use him in Young Avengers, he was told he couldn't because there were other plans with him. Whatever those plans were enver materialized and the character is stuck in limbo.

Of course considering what happened to other characters in that book (Noh-Varr being a vacuous pretty boy, Prodigy being made gay with the flimsiest reasoning ever conceived) he's probably lucky.

Kelly Thompson cannot be more insufferable as a person. This book is going to ruin all that was good about Fraction and Lemire's runs.

>Prodigy being made gay
Come on, man. I'm not saying you can't complain about it, but at least get it right.

people have been all Not Muh Hawkeye about Fraction/Aja/Wu forever and i have no idea what their Hawkeye is

Yes

>where's Patriot

Very good question, especially in Marvel's era of enforced diversity. An established young black male and he's nowhere to be seen. At least let him be FalCap's Bucky or some shit.

Nah. She was much more competent in her first appearances in Young Avengers than in Hawkeye (at least Fraction's since I haven't read Lemire's, and especially the LA issues). My one complaining about Hawkeye is that Fraction sometimes made her too much of a ditz.

Didn't Sam get a new Falcon to be his sidekick?

also I'm thinking Patriot might show up in Occupy Avengers

>bi but only lusting for cock
Then again, that's every bi character ever: you're just gay.

>Wanted to kiss a guy at least once before he died to know how it feels
>Only lusting for cock

No, user. Prodigy hasn't shown interest in girls after coming out only because he hasn't shown up anywhere since. Hell, the only other time he was shown to be into a man was that panel from Secret Wars Secret Love where Anka dumped a dozen ships in the background, and it wasn't even canon.

(((editors)))

user pls. Low your sarcasm.

>i have no idea what their Hawkeye is
A guy in an ugly costume with a H on his forehead.

He's a shit character, but Faction's run was shittier.

I blame fraction, before him Clint was someone Steve Rogers thought could replace him as Captain America now because fraction and his indie shit he's just a screw up, with infinitely less interesting kate supposedly being better.
Seriously fuck fraction.

nobody minded Kate when she was co-starring in the last 3 books titled Hawkeye and she was a protagonist on the same level as Barton, with shared nickname.

>Implying the "Kate is better" meme in her chapters was actually serious.
>Implying he wasn't a screwed up person before that.

4/10 made me reply.

I'd much rather read some fap fics featuring Clint and Kate.

Praise be to drawers!

>Gillen wanted to use him in Young Avengers, he was told he couldn't because there were other plans with him. Whatever those plans were enver materialized and the character is stuck in limbo.
Hopeless called dibs on him for Avengers Arena 2, but someone at Marvel realized it's a fucking stupid idea.

The fact that arena actually concluded on time shows that marvel's fucking retarded.

Do you have any proof, user? I'd never heard of this, just some nebulous "plans" for Eli that were scrapped for some reason.
If those plans were Hopeless and/or Arena, I'm so fucking glad nothing happened.

>A female-led book has to be written by a female
What else has Thompson written, anyway?

>West Coast Avenger

Does this mean we can get Tigra back? I'll endure this horrible Marvel phase for her.

Yeah, an illegal immigrant is the sidekick to Captain America.

And I wouldn't be surprised if Patriot were to show up in Ice Bucket Challenge Avengers, since he's black and the book is written by a black guy.

Did he like white or black cock tho?

>being oblivious to all of Kate's fans
wew

Me. I love Kate.
I didn't like fraction's solo adventures for her, but I've loved her since young avenger. She's magnificent.

like 20 people

You're waifu is shit

A force

In cape comics, bisexual is literally nothing more than a way for established writers to "safely" turn a character with no previous hints of homosexuality gay.

The way Gillen did it is particularly insulting as he basically Bendis'd the character in that he went "I really want a gay man that lets the reader think I could throw a wrench in Billy and Teddy's relationship" and just picked Prodigy because he could bullshit a reason for it.

>an illegal immigrant is the sidekick to Captain America.

I like the guy that grew into being a respected and valued hero and spent a long time leading the Thunderbolts. Hawkeye should essentially be Iceman if Bobby was allowed to actually mature emotionally.

No since I'm sure she's seen as little more than furry fap fodder by "plucked from the comic blogger clique" group of writers currently working for Marvel.

...

And Daredevil. They both have illegal sidekicks.

Please save us Jim!

I wonder what happened to the percentage of men they lost

Yeah and Captain Marvel is a book that doesn't sell like shit.

But it does sell like shit

honestly Hawkeye probably the most disposable character in the Avengers, if it hadn't been for the movies nobody would care. don't forget he died at the end of Avengers Disassembled and was gone for a few years before Bendis brought him back as Ronin in New Avengers with NO explanation at all

sjw

I've enjoyed Kate since she first appeared in YA but she sadly hasn't gone anywhere since those days, she's just stuck being Hawkeye. In Children's Crusade, I think, when she meet Clint she said she was looking for her own identity but for now she just had that and it was fine. Fraction's run was kinda cute with the Hawkeye and Hawkeye stuff but that got old pretty quick. Lemire is just trying to copy Fraction and loses (or doesn't understand) all of Kate's character.

This is a problem that Marvel has with a lot of it's heroes. It's just other people using code names from previously established characters. There's hardly any new hero identities just look at 2099. It's nothing but famous characters with new guys under the mask. The identity doesn't work for them because it doesn't mean anything to them.

Dear God. Poor Bucky.

Clint has been an adorable fuck up since his first appearance in Iron Man.

Can't catch a damn break.

...

Really I only disliked them because they broke up the flow something fierce (love waiting on edge for five months wondering what happened to Barney only to get another Kate tale) . When I reread the series I ignored publishing order and read all the Kate ones together and it was fine.

How old is Kate, anyways?

She said she was 21 in Young Avengers. So she's at most 22 accounting for timeskips. I guess another writer could de-age her, but I think she'll always be in that 19-23 year old range.

>I think she'll always be in that 19-23 year old range
Yeah, the original Young Avengers crew is taking up that "New Warriors" age-slot of "college aged/young adult heroes" while the Champions becomes the "teen heroes" team.

I kinda ask for it, but how old is she now?

No one likes Miss america

>rape
just like Kate, no one asked for it, but its gonna happen

I like MAC

This

It's pretty hot desu

that was before Fraction's shit

We're happily reading DC Rebirth, for the most part. Once King's run on Vision ends, I won't even be glancing at Marvel's output.

God damn it, fuck you. You don't get to be "triggered" when you're literally about to step into battle. That dude is going to be trying to fight shoulder to shoulder with you - do you REALLY want to be alienating him right before he's firing over your head because of your feels. Also, Hulkling may be a decent enough bro, but Wiccan really is a straight up faggot ass pansy wimp. I'm shocked he hasn't changed his costume into a superhero evening gown like his mom's yet.
