If you think you don't like Hawkeye, you crazy, and you are wrong, I promise you. Grab this up and dive into Fraction Hawkeye, you will LOVE it! I honestly don't have the words to express how much I love this series...so...you'll just have to see for yourself. Serious big time Heart Eyes for Hot Guy...I mean Hawkguy...wait I think it might be Hawkeye : )
Hawkeye was an amazing graphic novel. I adore the characterization, the plot, the art style.
The story follows Clint Barton, Avenger, Sharpshooter. He takes on the role of defender of an apartment complex in Bed Stuy, New York after a tracksuit mafia targets it for demolition. This puts Clint on the kill list of the powers that be, but despite the consistent threat to his life by Ivan and the rest of the tracksuit mafia Clint defends the apartment at all costs.
Clint Barton is an excellent character in this omnibus. Unlike our perception of other Avengers Clint Barton is a mess. We see his self destructive nature consistently harm his relationships with the people closest to him.
He’s self destructive, reckless and has a heavy dose of self loathing. He makes bad choices and pushes out the people closest to him when he should be reaching out for help. But despite this laundry list of flaws, and maybe even because fit Clint is an extremely compelling Hawkeye. He has legitimate flaws he need to work through throughout the comic. He also has a lot of admirable traits demonstrated the novel. Clint is one of the most resilient characters I’ve read about. He takes serious knocks throughout the novel but no matter how hard the bad guys punch he gets up swinging.
Kate Bishop our secondary protagonist in this volume goes through an interesting character arc throughout the omnibus. She leaves New York to go on a journey of self discovery in LA. There she becomes private detective and unravels a conspiracy makes some enemies and also gets a target put on her back. Unlike Clint, Kate is newer to the game of superheating and that leads her to a really fun solo missions. She makes rookie mistakes that lead to really interesting platlines. And its fun to be instantly reminded that the cool calm and collected badass your reading about is still kid.
This comic is imbibed with my kind of humor. Clint and Kate are both extremely sarcastic. I’m a girl who loves a good one-liner and this graphic novel is filled with them. But both of them are also dorks and the humorous shenanigans they get into throughout the story is extremely entertaining.Its hard to describe why I find this comic HILARIOUS but just take my word for it, it’s funny.
I adored the art style of this comic. It’s very rough around the edges with thick bold lines. There’s something about the rough look of the style that brings so much charm and character to the story. It matches the run down vibes of Clint’s life excellently. The color pallet is also excellent. Obviously as a Hawkeye novel it leans heavily into the purple as Clint and Kates signature colors and they set a nice cool tone to the story. But the panel that wowed me were the ones that contrasted the strong purple vibe. The major action scenes used strong reds and oranges the fiery nature of those sense made me so tense because it contrasted so strongly with the purples of the majority of the book. I really have to commend.

I don't like a lot of Big 2 series, but Matt Fraction's run of Hawkeye is a must-read if you’re even remotely interested in the Avengers. To put it kindly, Hawkeye in the MCU is a huge disappointment, and I wouldn’t care that much if he wasn’t so goddamn great in this comic. Here’s why you should read it:
1. It’s relatively short, only 22 issues. Super conducive to a comic book binge and not too expensive!
2. The art is absolutely phenomenal. I mean just look at it!!
3. It’s so funny it’ll make you laugh out loud!!
4. But it also has low points that are so painfully relatable u might cry!!
5. Clint doesn’t have super powers and has to deal with the fact that he’s destroying his body by doing Avengers stuff, along with the fact that he is seriously depressed and lonely. He is also hard of hearing, and there are several issues where he talks to people using sign language, which is really innovative and cool.
6. Clint has a dog named Lucky who is such a good boy and I love him. There’s an issue that is told from his perspective and it’s HEART. BREAKING.
7. Kate Bishop is in it, who you may know from Young Avengers. She’s a salty millennial and Clint’s protege, and spends the run figuratively arm-wrestling Clint for the title of Hawkeye. She’s delightful and hilarious and if you don’t know her you should read this to meet her!
