Monthly Comics Discussion Post: February. Ish.  
Whoops! Last month got derailed by preparation for the Valentine's Promptathon (AND IT WAS AWESOME), and the end of February coincided with some Stuff in my life so this post slipped my mind until now. Never mind, that means we get two discussion posts this month!

February was a big month for Clint and Natasha. Black Widow #3 was released and we finally got another Clint-centric issue of Hawkeye. Elsewhere, Shit Went Down in Secret Avengers. In further comics news, February also saw the release of Ms Marvel #1 and She-Hulk #1, to great critical and fan acclaim.

March is another big month in comics, with Black Widow #4 being released later in the month and Secret Avengers being relaunched next week I believe. The previews for Secret Avengers #1 show Clint crashing Natasha and Jessica Drew's spa day.

Discuss!

Yeah, the art in She-Hulk is an... acquired taste? But it does have good visual storytelling and like you said, the writing makes up for it. I wish they'd gotten the cover artist to do the interiors as well. >.<

I loved Ms Marvel, though I agree some themes were a little heavy handed. Kamala is such a wonderfully developed character, she feels so real it's almost like a real life teenager got sucked into the pages of a Marvel comic! Ms Marvel is shaping up to be everything I hoped Young Avengers would be.

Yeah, Kamala really does feel like a real teenager (which I didn't realize before you mentioned it, and which is sadly lacking in a lot of fiction about teenagers).

I just want one issue where the cover artist for She-Hulk does the interior art as well, so I can buy several copies, one to read, one to safe keep and the others to do artsy stuff with so I can hang something on my wall.

Yeah, that was my issue with Young Avengers. They didn't really feel like teenagers, or rather, they felt like an adult's idea of how contemporary teens speak and act, like most 'teenage' dramas on TV. There's nothing wrong with that per se, but it was disappointing. Kamala on the other hand feels like the teenage girls I tutored last year.
