So, remember that comic we were all excited about?

[anuna-81.livejournal.com]

I just ran into these scans on tumblr. Thought you'd all like to see them. :) I'm choosing to ignore the comments in that post.

Also, not really sure how to tag this. I'm just incredibly excited because, OMG HAWT.

HEY HEY YOU YOU I DON'T LIKE YOUR GIRLFRIEND. HEY HEY YOU YOU I THINK YOU NEED A NEW ONE.

This comment should be bronzed and saved for all time. A++ BB.

[lar_laughs.livejournal.com]

Great. *hangs head* That's going to be in my head all day!

[rayruz.livejournal.com]

Also, that post is clearly by a Nat/Bucky shipper. I am reading a bit of Winter Soldier and I think they're both awesome and both got screwed-over-by-the-kgb bonding, but they don't got what our bbs got here.

SHE IS HIS BEST FRIEND. T-T WHO HE WANTS TO BANG.

[anuna-81.livejournal.com]

YES YES SHE IS HIS BEST FRIEND. MY MIND STOPPED AT THAT BIT.

I didn't pay much attention to the comments, I just reblogged and ran here - it's these pretty scans that count! Kiss! Kiss back! Natasha's upper half is pretty much bare and the graphic is so GORGEOUS.

[allisnow.livejournal.com]

Uuuuuugh bare back and his little speech about not having to act tough and being his best friend and how his glasses go flying and YOWZA.

Girlfriend? Phhhfff.

[anuna-81.livejournal.com]

What girlfriend? Also Natasha started it, right, and then she's running away from him, kinda like, you have a girlfriend I don't want to get my hopes too high in case you don't choose me.

DON'T APOLOGIZE FOR SOMETHING YOU'RE NOT SORRY FOR, NAT!

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

AND OMG HER LITTLE FACE WHEN HE SAYS SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ALL TOUGH...

**WIBBLES**

[anuna-81.livejournal.com]

I can't get over the way she's holding him when they kiss; her hands in his hair, and there's not a millimeter of space between them!

[allisnow.livejournal.com]

Interesting that in the original cover, she's, uh, a bit more... covered up ;)

[anuna-81.livejournal.com]

Yes, you're right. Maybe they didn't want to put her bare back on the cover? Hmmm. Not that I mind her bare back in these.

[anuna-81.livejournal.com]

ALSO. HER EYES ARE COMPLETELY CLOSED IN THAT FIRST KISS AND HE IS LIKE O_O AND THEN KISSES HER BACK.

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

This kiss!back is what kills me. BOOM.

[thrace-adama.livejournal.com]

THIS IS, LIKE, A ZILLION TIMES BETTER THAN I WAS EVEN HOPING FOR OMGGGGGG.

HURT/COMFORT. YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND. THE ANGST.

I JUST CAN'T EVEN.

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

omg dude. just... omg.

have you tweeted this to aruroa yet? i can't believe she's not over here.

[allisnow.livejournal.com]

The cover kiss and the inside kiss, because these are the types of things that interest me...

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION, YO.

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

WE NEED SOME ICONS ON THIS, STAT.



**side-eyes the inconmakers like whoa**

[allisnow.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry were you saying something?

[aurora-0811.livejournal.com]

DEAR MARVEL, WELL PLAYED MY FRIENDS. YOU RECEIVE A GOLD STAR FOR COMPLETING THE LIST OF THINGS THAT MAKE SHIPPERS HAPPY.

FRIENDSHIP...CHECK
LONGING...CHECK
ANGST...CHECK
INFIDELICIOUSNESS...CHECK
HOT PEOPLE KISSING...CHECK
LEAVE US WANTING MORE...CHECK

OH MY LAWDY LAWD. So that's pretty freaking hot for a comic. I have so many damn questions though now.

Clint has a girlfriend? UH NO. STOP THAT RIGHT NOW CLINT.

Are these comics written post-movie Avengers? I mean does Marvel have this weird master plan to get them together in the comics so it leaves the door open for the movies? I know they're not directly related but it has to be a nod to that right? PRAYER CIRCLE TIME Y'ALL. We need to start chanting to the All Father that we get more of this soon and resolution and more kissing. Praise be to Marvel.

THEIR FACES YOU GUYS. ADORABLE DOPEY IN LOVE FACES! *squee*

[anuna-81.livejournal.com]

Accurate and perfect comment is perfect and accurate! *squees*

[sugar-fey.livejournal.com]

Okay, it's 4.00 am and I'm jetlagged out of my mind, BUT I DON'T CARE, because THIS EXISTS, and LO THERE WAS MUCH AWESOMENESS IN THE LAND. AND CAPSLOCK. AND FLAILING AT DANGEROUS LEVELS.

*squeebounce*

That said, I do have some sympathy for those who ship them with other people because I remember how pissed off I was when Rogue hooked up with Magneto in the same issue that Gambit basically told her that she's the love of his life. Granted I was more raging about how it was handled (Rogue: Magneto, I know you're a mass murdering fuckhead who tried to kill me and everyone I love several times not to mention all the times you brainwashed me and were generally creepy, and I know you're probably going to treat me really badly, but let's bang? Me: FUCK THIS SHIT).

Still, I hope this doesn't blow up into a ship war. I hate those.

Meanwhile I shall be flailing over THE HOTNESS, YO.

[book-junkie007.livejournal.com]

Okay. Whoa. That's absolutely fabulous and amazing, and to the people who are not amused, shake my head.

Also, who the heck is Jessica? I know Clint divorced Bobbi (Mockingbird) and they were trying to make it work, but it didn't, so they moved on again. I do know that Avengers Solo says "Clint Barton, aka the arrow-shooting, heart-breaking, devil-may-care Avenger Hawkeye" so maybe he's gone back to being a playboy?

I'm going to the comic book store with my friend tomorrow, and I'm definitely picking this up now. I will also see if I can do some scans/pictures and share with the class. :D

[i-llbedammned.livejournal.com]

This is amazing! I love how she both hopes for something to start and rejects him once logic kicks in. The dynamic of the back and forth has always been a part of them.

[ashen_key]

Yaaaaaaaaay comic-kissing (needs to be followed up with movie kissing, given that comics and movies are two different verses), but, what, wait.

Girlfriend?!

Cliiiiiiiiiiiiint, bad.

(It's too early and I'm incoherent. BUT CLINT. Okay I can see girlfriend if Nat's being all FRIENDS at him, because I can't see him just waiting for Nat to wake up, but still. HER FACE. OH NATASHA.)

[im-ridiculous.livejournal.com]

GAHHHH!!!!!
**FLAILS INDISCRIMINATELY IN ALL DIRECTIONS!!!!**
**RUNS AROUND IN CIRCLES LIKE A CRAZY PERSON**
**FALLS TO FLOOR IN A HEAP**

...So, yeah. Those pics are ok I guess.

[sugar-fey.livejournal.com]

I just took another look and realised that in the last panel Clint is still touching his lips like he can't quite believe that it happened, but he's really glad that it did. *flails*

[anuna-81.livejournal.com]

I love that too, he's like "OMG her lips were RIGHT HERE. Were they? Did that happen? OMG!!"
