Mockingbird, Issue #8 takes place on board the Diamond Porpoise, a cruise liner that is traveling through the Bermuda Triangle. She's being harassed by a former lover, the Phantom Rider. The Hulk is dead, and everyone on the deck is doing cosplay, which is kinda' funny. The title uses people well, but it tends to make the main character look smart by putting her in a world full of foolish people. I like how her former husband, Hawkeye has been involved in this arc.
Mockingbird is always one of the first titles I read every week it comes out. I do like it, but while it's always fun, only a couple of the issues have been great, such as Issue #1 and Issue #5. I am interested on how this title will tie into Civil War II, in which Hawkeye kills Bruce Banner. I absolutely loved Matt Fraction's run on Hawkeye with David Aja, and while I read the first trade paperback of Jeff Lemire's Hawkeye, I haven't read the second/sixth book. Basically, there's been no Hawkeye for some time, and it's nice to see him in this comic.
