You knew it was bound to happen sooner or later! A site Updatel featuring our shop’s love of Matt Fraction and David Aja’s Hawkeye! This week’s we’ve got a new issue of Hawkeye along with a cool new Marvel Select Action figure. (like, really, really cool) • The brothers Barton double down against the bad guys as the Clown lays siege to their building. Can Hawkguy keep everyone safe against a killer nobody’s even seen yet? • What happens when you’re locked up with your loser big brother for like a week straight? • You go nuts, right? Clint goes a little nuts. And here’s the aforementioned awesome action figure. Only $24.99 and it’s even got Ultron in the base. (The villain from the upcoming Avengers 2 movie!)

Shang-Chi vs. The Gorgon– a fight to the death for control of The Hand. 20 straight pages of bone-crushing martial arts action, like you’ve never seen it before. The...
