So since this rumination re the favorite comic book of my childhood - which I used my OWN lawn-mowing money to subscribe to because you could not trust the three drug stores in Tipton, IA, to have any kind of decent, consistent comic book distribution - I went back to hit up some the Bendis mega-arcs I'd missed and there, in the interstitial moments, I found . . . Hawkeye and Jessica Drew/Spider-woman HOOKED UP. Just for a brief time - cuz nobody stays happy in this world, duh - but it was one of the cutest fucking things I have ever seen in comics and I use "cutest" basically like never, much less with a positive connotation.
