Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Bland superheroics. The title promises a more street-level take that addresses the elitism of most superheroes, but the writer quickly falls back on tropes like big fights against supervillains and robots instead of focusing on the plight of the little guy. This book is about social justice warriors in name only. As the 47 year-old back-up reprint stories illustrate, Marvel has been doing this same sort of thing for a very long time. (And how is Marvel looking out for the little guy when those ancient reprints make up one third of this slim $18 book? Full disclosure: I read a library copy.) ( ) no reviews | add a review
Belongs to SeriesOccupy Avengers (Vol. 1 (1-4))
Super heroes - they're a privileged class. Doing what they want, when they want, and suffering no consequences. They have no regard for the ordinary people who are left behind to suffer in their wake. Who will stand up for the little guy? There is a man. If you can find him, and if he believes in your story, he and his friends will put things right. Some call him an outlaw, rebel, Robin Hood. To others, he is a hero. No powers to speak of - just skills, smarts and a burning drive to take back justice. The man's name is Hawkeye. He doesn't look for trouble, but trouble finds him - and he'll quickly drag Western hero Red Wolf into it as well! It's a shame that they're facing certain death; they would have made a great team.
