I voted for both. I've read all 3 of Lemire's Green Arrow, and I just read the first 4 issues of Fraction's Hawkeye. While Fraction's writing is a little better, I prefer Sorrentino's art, so it comes out as a wash in my opinion. It's a good time to be an archery fan.

I love both series right now. In all honesty, once you get past the bow and arrows, they're very different characters.

Nightwing, Wonder Woman, and FF for me!

Maybe X-O Manowar if I decide to take advantage of the comixology sale...

No disco Nightwing???

That's what I thought! How can you have a Teen Titans pack and not included Disco Nightwing? Or even a Kid Flash skin?

@tommythehitman: Nolan said in interviews he experimented with 3D for TDKR, but ultimately decided against it in order to maintain a visual consistency across all 3 movies.

While I certainly don't think this was a bad movie, I do believe it wasn't great; it definitely is not the best Iron Man movie out there. As someone that hasn't read an Iron Man comic before, I was pretty disappointed. This was a real shame because I went in hoping to love it, hoping that it would be the best Iron Man movie. I'm a huge fan of Shane Black's work. He was actually a bigger selling point for me than this being the third Iron Man movie, but the script just wasn't as tight as in his other works. Knowing that the Mandarin is Iron Man's nemesis in the comics, and seeing how he ended up here, was so disappointing. And the worst thing was I could see the twist coming right away - as soon as they showed him arriving at Killian's place I realized what was going down.

Also, I felt like there was too much humor. This is coming from a guy that loves lighthearted and fun superhero fare. For example, Tony being a complete jerk to that kid after he tells him that his dad left. Look dude, I get that the clock is ticking and you want to get moving as fast as possible, but you shouldn't be an ass to the people that you're relying on for help.

I went into this movie thinking that this would be the superhero movie enjoy the most, with MOS, Thor, Wolverine, and KA2 following in that order. But this movie set a bar, for me, so low that I can see most, if not all of the other movies surpassing it.

Okay, I'm being hard on this movie, but only because I really, really wanted it to be so good. I expected more from Shane Black. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to download the Extremis story off comixology for $5. And then watch Lethal Weapon.

I see a lot of people complaining about how much they dislike the direction of this series. If that's the case, why are you still buying this title? If you really want to send a message to Marvel about your dissatisfaction, commenting on the internet is not going to do it. A decline in sales, on the other hand, will. It makes no sense to keep buying a title if you don't like it.

For example, I picked up the first couple issues of the New 52 Superman and Green Arrow. I didn't like them, so I stopped buying (I've since picked up GA now that Lemire is writing). Most people work too hard for their money to spend it on something they don't enjoy.
