I know this is a personal thing vs. a society as a whole thing, but my brother's apartment burned down about six years ago and the Red Cross was there right away to help him out with toiletries and about a hundred things that we didn't even think he would need (he lived about five hours away at the time). So I'll be buying those comics, but I can understand what everybody's said above.

(Nobody was hurt in the fire. And yes, every single person, when told of the disaster, asked if he started it (after checking to make sure he was okay). He did not)

I'm glad they were able to help him and that no one was hurt. They are a good organization that has the potential to help a lot of people.

I would never say that they aren't doing exactly what they set out to do (which is to help those in need). On a local level, they are great and I've seen them do a lot of good. I'm just saying, as a whole, I don't like how they spend their money. I want them to help people like your brother or the people of New York/New Jersey and it's nice when they do.

There are many charities out there whose overhead-to-aid ratio leaves a lot to be desired. That said, with this comic, it looks like one gets a comic out of it at the end -- if a portion of the money goes to charity, I'm all for it!

But now to the Really Important Bit: IS BLACK WIDOW IN IT??? :-)

I would say no, Black Widow is probably not going to be in it. The Hawkeye comic is great though, and features Hawkeye's protege Kate Bishop, who is awesomeness personified. So I definitely recommend it. The previous issues have been funny and insightful.
