I've read one of them -- one of the collections of the Hawkeye comic book series by Matt Fraction and David Aja, which was indeed a good series -- and heard of a couple of others, but it's very unlikely I'll ever read any of them. Just not my kind of SF. But that's okay, let 'em have at it. I've got that big stack of Dwight V. Swain, Edmond Hamilton, "Alexander Blade", and others to read.
A lot of my recent favorites, such as Alice Sola Kim, are taking the same path away from "category" sf/fantasy publishing that Jonathan Lethem and Karen Joy Fowler (and Kelly Link and...) have been following. Some of the others, from Karen Russell to Andy Weir (I haven't yet read the last) are being segregated from sf/fantasy labels, for no compelling reason, by their publishers.

I know my reading of SF/F has dwindled, but this is yet another list where I have not even heard of any of the books.

I'm stuck in the old days, too, when it comes to SF reading.
