      Easily the launch of HAWKEYE & MOCKINGBIRD. I'll never forget seeing issue 1 come out.

      I think Jeremy Renner will be awesome as Hawkeye! He was great in Hurt Locker, he looks like he can do cocky, and he seems like a really nice guy. We even have the same birthday, so that makes me like him even more!

      Hawkeye in the Avengers cartoon is AMAZING. That's all I can say. That, and Chris Cox (who is the voice of Hawkeye) is a great guy too!

      She was a brunette and had a line about "seeing into other people's minds". Hair color- that could have been a cover (she IS a spy after all) and the psychic thing...that could have been a lie to get what she needed. Again, spies don't always tell the truth.

      Let me assure you- we're okay & not going anywhere. We have the WIDOW MAKER crossover and some big things in store after that. It's tough to launch a new series these days and I think a lot of people seem gun-shy that a title won't last. But if you look at the support we've gotten, you'll see Marvel is behind this book.

      All that said, how can you help? Talk to your friends and (BIGGEST THING) talk to your retailers. Tell them about all the positive word of mouth, that big things are coming, and that you want to make sure they are ordering the book. If you're not already, EVERYONE who likes this book NEEDS to pre-order it. If your retailer doesn't offer hold boxes, make sure you remind them that a new issue is coming up and for them to order it.

      We've sold out both issues 1 & 2 and gone back to press on both, we are up on the iPad/iPhone app (spread the word about that- hook people with the first issue and then drive them into stores), and the fan and critical reception has been great! To build on that, just keep talking about the book and assure people that we're here and not being turned into a limited series.

      Well, David Lopez is drawing *my* definitive Hawkeye right now, but I have to say that George Perez & Mark Bagley are the artists who spring to mind when I think of previous Hawkeye artists

      My father's work ethic is a huge influence on me & has had a profound influence on my life. As for writers, I'm still like a sponge, absorbing as much as I can from everyone I can, so I can't really point to one person and say "That guy/gal" because so many people have impacted my writing in different ways.

      Hawkeye for fave hero. Villains- depends on the plot/scheme & how they are handled. But Ultron is pretty high on my list.

      Next issue's cliffhanger looks like a movie still. And issue 4's is going to have you counting the days until issue 5. So, yep! :)

      Not at all. It's performing very well, especially in today's market. It also sold out immediately, so you have to remember there will be reorders. We have big plans announcing soon for the book.

      Of course, it NEVER hurts to remind your retailer to order more copies because this is a book that is (thankfully) getting great word of mouth and positive reviews. Retailers need to know that people want this book. If it's sold out at your shop, don't just leave- ask them to order it for you.

      Also, very soon, people will want to go back and pick up issues 1 & 2 as well as make sure they have issue 3 and beyond in their hold box. VERY soon.

      Rogers and Dalhausser (volleyball, yeah). England because I know many people that would hurt me if I said otherwise.

      Snake-eyes, Bigby Wolf, Buffy, and Liam (of Mouse Guard) for heroes. Darkseid, Destro, and BP Oil for villains

      Jean Gray, just so Tom Brevoort would have to keep answering MORE questions about her on his Formspring.
