side blog for shameless comic posting

del | 20+ | iron man & hawkeye enthusiast hi. come say hi to me in my asks or dms if you'd like to scream about comics together. this is the comics side blog, obviously.

[starkf1sh]

hello. hi. hello!!!

in this blog i post panels from comics and scream about my favourite characters in textposts. don't expect too much meta talk from me; i'm pretty new to this and haven't developed enough braincells dedicated to comic reading yet to create analysis posts with enough critical thinking in them. i just read for fun and i'd like to share my love with other comic-loving people, that's all!

now onto the blog stats & tags:

currently reading: Hawkeye (2012) by Matt Fraction & David Aja

next on the list: Tales of Suspense (issues featuring Iron Man)

comics read: found here.

-

#comic panels - what it says on the tin. when i post screenshots from the issue i'm reading, i'll be using this tag so if you ever wanna find a specific scene you can try this filter on my blog.

#textposts - funny textposts in the classical tumblr format featuring my favourite characters ft. unhinged social media posts

#me.txt - personal posts. i'll probably be complaining about how expensive it is to import comics and whatnot

#fanart - i am NOT that kind of artist, so this is strictly for reblogs

#comic recs - this tag includes recommendations from me & other comics people. note that this is a genel tag; here you may found reading lists, other people's favourite comics, or a general reviews of a series i have finished recently and wanted to share.

to be cont.-

Clint Barton Hawkeye (2012) #8

[in-a-cave-with]

some of my favorite particular 616 tony character tropes. these overlap a lot

tragic romantic hero (most of tales of suspense, vol 1, and vol 3)

refuses to show it but his heart is SO broken and he is SO sad

does in fact somewhat yearn for a normal life deep down. will he tell anyone else about this to lessen his many many struggles and not have to deal with everything on his own. no

either he is torturing himself by isolating himself from any and all human connection or he is head over heels in love w someone and probably torturing himself about how it won't last and they deserve better than him etc etc etc

tortured futurist (what if? civil war, cw: the confession, hickmanvengers, vol 4)

will do the morally ambiguous/evil yet necessary thing and hate himself the wholeeee time for it. but all that matters in the end is the future, the greater good, no matter what path he takes to get there

very driven and direct to a frightening degree when doing it though. and he'd do it again! and he's not sorry! (he is actually very sorry but he's not telling anyone bc he doesn't want people feeling bad for him)

"i was already a bad person before i became a hero, which is why i should be the one to do this and everyone else shouldnt have to sully themselves" <- guy who is conducting unethical science experiments on himself

superhero mentor irondad (anad avengers, riri's invincible iron man run, ms marvel, mackay's 2020 annual)

too scared to have kids of his own so he will microdose on this by being the Responsible Adult Figure™™™ for the teen heroes. do not mess with those teen heroes btw or he will kill you to death with the force of 1000 suns

sometimes he will talk about his father. and you will get the sense he is treating them the way he wished howard treated him when he was growing up

he goes to children's hospitals and orphanages and hugs the babies like oh my god dude

goober (north, landy, bendis when properly reined in, stohl's captain marvel comics)

a fucking dweeb and i need to shake him /affectionate

at his core (VERY important) he cares so so so much. he has such a big heart and will never shy away from people in need. he might make mistakes sometimes but he's always willing to change for the better and that's what being a hero means

bonus points if it's making a point about how his bravado is a front to disguise his very bad self esteem and/or he needs his friends like air

alright, my panel posts from fraction's hawkeye are getting some interactions and i thought i'd take this opportunity to say, hi hello!!! i'm not dead. just on a lil bit of a break. i started consuming marvel content again and at one point i'll be back to posting.

stay safe & DO NOT feed your dog pizza 💜

i love that clint’s kinda soft and tired and presented as a super relatable kind of character but i go absolutely hogwild for the moments he just snaps and you realize clint barton is a very, very dangerous man

i'm afraid to actually ask this because i hate talking and/or thinking about it but

ughhhh is civil war important for 616?

i keep seeing everyone yell DO NOT READ and like, i read enough summaries and commentary to know it's terrible (and that tony's too ooc omfg wdym be built the depression prison) BUT i also see people saying that its effects are still very much relevant even in this year, that it gets referenced in the newer comics.

i very much want to pretend that it never happened, but... yeah.

what do you think?

the real civil war readlist is just civil war: casualties of war, civil war: the confession, and what if? civil war you don't need to make yourself read anything mark millar has written if you love yourself god bless

okay so, if i'm starting to comics after mcu, could you suggest me a list to begin with, maybe? i'm asking this because your idea of tony matches mine and more, so i'm pretty sure i'll like whatever you say is good. on the other hand i don't wanna blindly read a badly written comic and go like "hmm so that's comics!tony", you know? i'm sorry if i'm being extra shsusjsjshs i just need more tony content in my life

ooh ok!! i put together an iron man comics reclist here in response to an anon but tumblr deleted the ask for some reason (the post is still there don’t worry). there’s also my general comics guide/reclist that includes non iron man comics that i like (which i probably need to update but it still has a lot). also i put together a compilation of some of the art/art styles i liked in iron man comics! if my posts are a little too confusing or convoluted, here is the guide to iron man comics that i followed when i first started reading them. also just a reminder, comics tony is very cool and if anyone including any comics writers tell you that he’s worse than mcu tony and/or pre-mcu iron man comics are “boring” they are wrong and do not have taste
