So as you'll know if you've followed my last few reviews, that I've been pretty obsessed with this series over the past couple of days. I don't know what it is with these questionable straight guys and the gay/bisexual guys they end up with but I've pretty much devoured them.

This one was all just a bit too strange for me. For these guys to be so obsessed with each other--well Gabriel anyway. Jared was trying to move on but one request from Gabe and he was running back to him like the man in love he was. It was rather unhealthy and maybe a little twisted. I didn't understand it much.

I kinda wanted them to get together but at the same time it didn't seem right. Gabe had a girlfriend and a baby from pretty much the start of the book and...just no. I like my M/M stories to not have children attached unless they're grown up (Or a certain book that I loved by M.J. O'Shea and Piper Vaughn :D)

This has been my least favourite of the series so far but I will read the next book in the series to see what it's like.

"I could have chosen a number of his ambient records, from Apollo – Atmosphere & Soundtracks or Ambient 1 (Music For Airports) to Discreet Music. He, along with maybe one or two others, invented ambient music, which is now the background to a lot of different music, but back then was a revolution. Eno was slagged by the press at every turn. I remember a quote in the NME saying his music was like ""watching paint dry"". If something got that bad a review, I had to check it out and Brian got the worst reviews for a number of years. Discreet Music was the record that I listened to when it came out and I am still listening to it now. Strangely enough, I find it the most incredible music to make love to, because its stillness strips you down to a nakedness that, for me, lovemaking always demands. That's opposed to drunken lovemaking, which is a completely different thing and only part of what is on offer. Discreet Music puts me in the mood to really find out who I am and to be vulnerable with another person. Therefore, it has become one of my favourite lovemaking albums, and I don't think many people could say that."

HAWKEYE VS DEADPOOL. Hmm.. Features The Merc with the Mouth, Hawkeye and Kate Bishop. Written by Gerry Duggan, whom I am told has written a number of DP stories. Okay, sounds like a recipe for fun, right? [Cue the buzzer sound] NOPE!

What followed was a train wreck, the kind that there is no accident insurance in the world that could've helped this mess! Sophmoric writing, humor that wasn't humorous enough to call it "humor" (!), and characterizations that, if owned the characters of Clint Barton and Kate Bishop, should have made Matt Fraction unbelievably disappointed!

And dear God, when did Black Cat become such a lame-ass character? Okay, granted she was bat-**** crazy, but here? She was acting like some criminal mastermind (with two scoops of crazy!).

The only thing that helped me give this drek at least one star? The art talent of Matteo Lolli! That was about the only this book got right: the way the characters are supposed to look!

Look, when it went up for the sale price of $2.99 on Comixology, I thought it would be justokay, but not this bad! One of those rare situations where I should've heeded the negative reviews I'd seen for this book!

*** NOT Recommended! ***
