The most fun comic book you'll read all year

ByBeau YarbroughVINE VOICEon March 6, 2013

Format: Paperback

Truthfully, after decades of comics, I'd gotten a little jaded with straight-up superhero tales, with sky-high stakes and failure not being an option.

Then, I came across "Hawkeye." Like a lot of people, it took the recent Marvel movies (specifically "Thor") to make me take a second look at the third-string Marvel hero. I'd read comics of his in the past, and they were more of the same, albeit with a terrible costume (and a wife with an even worse one).

Not Matt Fraction's "Hawkeye."

Here's a book with stakes that shrink from the cosmic down to a single apartment building in an outer borough of New York City, where Hawkeye's costume is the work uniform doffed when Clint gets home and where the stakes are having a good relationship with his neighbors or being able to set up his DVR.

The book is light, breezy, fits well into actual save-the-world Avengers continuity but requires no knowledge or caring about such things (the tagline is that this book is what Clint Barton does when he's not off being an Avenger), and gorgeous to look at.

The best superhero comic book in years seems almost parachuted in from some other, better-written, more engaging future.

Whether you bleed in four colors, or don't know your Earth 616 from your Earth-2, "Hawkeye" is a must-read for every sort of superhero fans.

Entertaining, but repetitive.

ByJames B.on July 31, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Hawkeye has a certain reputation among the general public as the least useful Avenger. In this series, Matt Fraction attempts to give us a reason to take him seriously. The results are....mixed.

The main strength of this series is the humor. Fraction is a guy who knows how to make people laugh, and Hawkeye's snark and general shenanigans make for a read that is never less amusing. The action is also quite good, with the best chapter in this volume walking us through all of Hawkeye's trick arrows and abilities.

The flaw though is the plotting. Pretty much every issue in this series has had Hawkeye reflect on his current situation being bad, get knocked out and captured, escape via unlikely means that only works because he and his partner are the only two characters who can shoot straight, and ultimately save the day. This series desperately needs some variety in the next volume if I'm going to consider sticking with it.

Great book, very funny.

ByDavid Bon November 3, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Really funny and compelling book. The writing is sharp and witty and keeps the story moving. Most superhero comics start feeling redundant because the characters are basically invincible. This book is grounded much more in reality and gives the characters the feeling that they have actual stakes. This book is chalked full of humor, and overall is a really great read.

Drifting from laugh out loud funny to profoundly sad

ByMatthew J. Phillionon May 7, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

If you haven't read Fraction and Aja's run on Hawkeye, you're doing yourself a disservice.

Drifting from laugh out loud funny to profoundly sad, the series (which sustains its distinct personality and energy through all four collected editions) explores the life of the most ordinary Avenger in his time away from his superhero life (as well as his protege, Kate Bishop, who has inherited Hawkeye's title and bow as well).

The easy thing to say is "This should've been Marvel's next Netflix adaptation," but then you'd lose the wonderfully crafted art and distinctive color palette the series maintains. If you're lucky, you'll see some of yourself in Clint, and some of yourself in Kate. It's a book about mistakes and doing the right thing for the wrong reason and finding the connections you need to be whole.

And it's about fighting and archery and heroism, boomerang arrows and Pizza Dogs. And it's probably the best series Marvel's produced in a decade.

I love how different this is from your average comic books

ByFranciscoon February 16, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I love how different this is from your average comic books. Great Storytelling and very different art. I must say that I'm a bigger fan of the David Aja art than Pulido's, so the last two chapters were not really my style of art. It also includes Young Avengers Present #6 which gives us an insight into Kate Bishop's first encounter with Clint Barton and I have to say that I really enjoyed it, specially since I had bought and read Young Avengers a few weeks back, so it was nice to see some familiar faces.

My only complain is that this book isn't as well built as the other ones I bought for Christmas. For some reason the book isn't a perfect rectangle. It's a tad bigger on the bottom and as a result whereas all my other books fit togerther properly in my Bookshelf, the bottom part of this one sticks out which is a bit of a problem if you have a pet peeve about that like I do. I don't know if it's something about the Hawkeye one's but I recently got Volume 2 and although it doesn't have the same problem it suffer from some building issues. The first page is sticked up to the cover and it has a bit that's kinda crumbled, plus there's one page that sticks out, as in it's a longer wider page than the rest of the book. I bought them both from different places(Volume 1 from Amazon and Volume 2 from Purple Turtle Discount Books) I don't know if it's a manufacturing error with the Hawkeye comics or of I just have the worst luck ever.

As good as the reviews

ByKristianon July 18, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I passed on this one so many times. I mean, it's Hawkeye - I was never a huge Avengers fan growing up, I loved Iron Man, liked Cap, didn't appreciate the full team until the movies started coming out. And even then, Hawkeye seemed like more of a supporting character. Why would I want to read volumes of comics about a supporting character?

You really do. Sure, there are other heroes who don't really have super powers - Iron Man, Batman - but Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne have billions in their bank accounts. Hawkeye is a regular guy who makes it - but still gets beat up, relies on his wits as much as his skills, often has great intentions but not much in the way of a plan. If you've ever felt like you're making it up as you go along, like you're walking the tightrope of "this is really bad" and "hey, this might just work out," then Hawkeye is the hero for you.

I wish I had taken the advice of all the other reviews raving about this comic - if you've had the same doubts, consider them dispelled. This book lives up to the hype.

As good as the hype says

I've heard a lot about the series and it's just as hilarious as I was told. Pretty suspenseful too. New readers don't need to know any backstory and can jump right in.Read more

Enjoyable

The writing was great, this Hawkeyes kind of blunders a bit, he's not a smooth operator. It made him a little more interesting.Read more
