GeekChew No. 22: Hawkeye #22/Ant-Man/Ex Machina

GeekChew - geekchew

The power couple discusses Hawkeye #22, the final issue of the Matt Fraction and David Aja run. A great issue to end an amazing series, we talk about the story and the art and the overall effect that this Hawkeye book has had on comics in general. We also talk about the new Ant-Man movie, Marvel's latest superhero offering that stands out because of its unique approach to Marvel's version of the superhero genre movie. Directed by Peyton Reed, Ant-Man stars Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas, Evangeline Lilly, and Corey Stoll. Lastly, we talk about Ex Machina, the new movie from director Alex Garland and starring Alicia Vikander, Domhnall Gleason, and Oscar Isaac. The movie is a tense sci-fi drama (with a very small cast) about the advent of self-aware artificial intelligence, and does a great job with a lot of associated themes. Eamon's Notable this week is that Hulu has made the entire series of Seinfeld available on demand, and he throws in some other cool Seinfeld stuff. Charlene's Notable is the news about ABC's television series Once Upon A Time that came out of Comic-Con, and why it's so important to her.
