You guys, I finally won a month! And not just because April had a fifth and extra week, I even won after four weeks, and it’s about time.

Let’s take a look at love this week in the Marvel 616 Universe, since you know, Valentine’s Day and what not. Well, we’re off to a nice happy start, as Clint gets to watch his ex-wife get shot down in front of him (it really is a recurring trait in their relationship, poor Clint.) Maybe…
