Yeah, the current Hawkeye series looks like it could be the best ever take on him!
The current Daredevil series is also the greatest thing INCLUDING sliced bread.
I'll probably be getting almost all of these Marvel NOW series since I currently get most of them anyway:
Fantastic Four & FF I'll certainly try. Allred's art makes FF a must. Fraction has been hit or miss with me, but he does have a quirky sense of humor. I think he is a writer who lives and dies on having a strong artist, so Bagley may make Fantastic Four very good.
Iron Man is written by Keiron Gillen. 'Nuff said. He's incredible. This should be great.
Thor is by Jason Aaron. Again, 'nuff said. This should be epic and chalk full of character, a combo Thor needs desperately.
Hickman on Avengers and New Avengers? Anyone who is unsure, trust me--BUY THIS. It'll probably be the greatest piece of literature since King Lear.
Waid & Yu on Hulk? Considering Waid is delivering the absolute greatest work of his long career on Daredevil, I'm willing to pay whatever it takes to check out his take on the Hulk. Plus Yu kicks all kind of ass.
All New X-Men may just be what a lot of fans are looking for. For me personally, not so much.
Uncanny Avengers...I'll sample. Not overly enthusiastic about it, but it could be wild.

Maybe we could make this a Comic Book Review Month event?
Kind of a "Marvel Now launch" / "check in on the DCnU" / "sample the Independent Revolution" combo CBRM? Whoever reviews the most series gets a check from me in the mail for $25.00? And a signed autograph?

I may end up mirroring this because I happen to get some of them now anyway ... unless the relaunch breaks me of the titles.
Hawkeye was surprisingly good. Honestly, I'm not sure why I even bought it, it dosn't seem like something I would normally pick up.
I blame Legion World ... and other similar comics that are also amazing right now like Daredevil and Shade.
(Let me know what you think about Hawkeye Cobes.)

Just an excuse for a bunch of #1s.

is there a list of the Marvel Now titles? I can't seem to find one that is not vague or as Lash says
"kinda rebootish, rebooty and rebootesque " emphasis on the kinda the -ish, the y, and the esque.
From what I've seen so far, maybe its time to take a break from most of Marvel, as the last reboot jaded me against DC. (I get some stuff but I'd say it is occasional readership from DC and as soon as World's Finest and Before Watchmen and Shade end ... I'd be out ...)
I'm just ... tired of feeling cheated, duped, or as if I was part of someone's September marketing scheme to throw a huge load of shit at the walls to improve sales.

This list from wikipedia lists new titles, gives a concept description and creative team. It's not the most up-to-date list (no Guardians) but a concise run-down of most of the titles.
I'll probably get Avengers and New Avengers, just because of Jonathan Hickman. The X-Men concept sounds interesting, but I'm still suffering from X-Men Overload Brain Burn, so I'm a bit leery.

I was buying Avengers before, so I'll continue with "Uncanny Avengers," The Original Five X-title looks good, so I'll probably add that. (and I've loved Immomen since he was one of ours... )

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

The Thor: God of Thunder direction sounds interesting. I have fond memories of the old 'Thor as a young hothead in Viking times' stories they used to print.

- best opening issue (or tied with recent Daredevil #1) Marvel has had in years.
- phenomenal writing, and by far the best I've ever seen from Matt Fraction, who is doing FF soon.
- mind-blowing art by David Aja, who brings creativity and design that makes this feel like an indie book.
- Kate Bishop of Young Avengers...already written better than she has been since the very first Young Avengers mini.
- a 70's ish street crime / modern noir tone mashed up with some good humor and wit. So far a very unique feel.
What am I talking about? Hawkeye.
By far his best series ever and there are only two issues so far. Better even than any of his West Coast Avengers stories and most of his regular Avengers stories. At long last, the promise of the character--beyond being a face in an ensemble cast--is being delivered.
Peebs and I are loving it. So are the critics. Howard Chaykin wrote a fan letter in #2. Treat yourself.
