    Default Tales of Suspense #100 Discussion

    Hmm, i don't know about this one. Read more like a Hawkeye solo then a co-lead book and Im not a big Hawkeye fan, nor do i really buy his motivation here when his relationship with Nat amounted to a broom closet booty call. They were friends with benefits, and not really committed lovers. I like the art though, and the premise itself still has me hooked.

    Interesting start to the series. Looking forward to where it's going, but they really do play up the Clint/Nat relationship as something much more than it really was. Funny how Clint's back on this "Bucky is a jerk" bandwagon. This has to be some kind of inside joke at Marvel. Literally no character likes this guy lol. Not sure why Bucky wouldn't be assassinating ex-Hydra though.

    Definitely not Natasha killing them though. Why would she leave a calling card to a program she's not been apart of in forever? Unless they Winter Soldier'd her too.

    Small gripe, but I rReally wish artists would start getting Bucky right. He's not supposed to sport the red star anymore, y'know the symbol of the Soviet regime that brainwashed him, made him kill people, and made him a traitor to his country and all that. And that facemask gotta go asap.

    Probably because she leave marks for Clint and Bucky to follow.


    For the moment, I'm liking it. Rosenberg seems to write Clint well so I'll dig it.


    You all are saying that they play up the Clint/Nat relationship but I really thought that would have been way more than what they did. But still she was probably one of his closest friend (and even a lot more (and no, I'm not saying that because I prefer them together, it's really shown in the comics in my opinion)).

    With that being said I don't want to see Clint and Bucky fight each other for Nat' (even if I know Nat' would tell them to fuck off) , it would be stupid and awful to read. I always hated love triangle shit and I seriously don't want to see other characters I like in those kind of shit (I mean all my fav character have been in those things except Clint and Nat' so).

    Only Bucky could know about it, unless she figured they would cross paths. I don't think it's her unless there's a twist, but I do think they'll all meet up at one point.

    It's the one thing I'm hoping won't happen. Really unnecessary and below all of those involved. Never read a love triangle in comics that added anything meaningful tbh.

    Maybe, it's someone who is making false lead for them to follow too.

    I wouldn’t mind seeing a Natasha resurrection. Maybe Natasha has a “Will” that gets her body to the Hand and they will always bring her back after she’s killed? But I like the idea you can’t kill her. She’ll always find a way back to the living, making her the ultimate assassin, and the last person who actually bites it, and in most cases survives way past everyone else. Sort of like Domino, with a luck dimension, that never says “die”.

    I wouldn’t mind a secret origin where she was sent by the red room, back and forward in time, to get her acclimatised to fighting dinosaurs or future weapons, and, nobody knows why she’s so proficient with all situations she is put in. I wouldn’t even mind if Natasha knew the future, and that’s why she is so comfortable in bad situations, because she know what happens.

    I cannot conceive of any scenario she isn’t resurrected but I’m going to respectfully disagree ... if I see another Hand resurrection I’m going to cry. I might even chose the McMuffin Cube over the Hand.

    I’ll take a retelling of sorts of Fear Itself with Buck’s resuscitation by the one and only Nick Fury. That scene, Nat’s grief, then her duplicity with Nick about Bucky’s death may have been the best character moment ever written for her, no really!

    this was a far cry from that mini series or arc around tge time of heroes age where they teamed up to rescue black widow. I wonder if Clint will ask bucky how it feels for him to know that Natasha was killed by Stevil though he doesn't make the distinction in his musings. I feel that bucky may end up short his bionic arm given the explosive cliff hanger.

    I was pleased to see that Clint didn't seem to be pining much; he was just going about business looking for his supposedly dead friend. As it should be.
