Its sometimes hard for me to accept thatHawkeyeis one of the best superhero books on the market.
This is as entry level as it gets for a character who has been around for almost fifty years.
When you get down to it, Clint Barton really is kind of a lifer in the superhero business.
As commonplace as all that sounds, its far more compelling than many of our usual superhero slugfests.
Forgive me, guys, Im only a writer.
The rooftop party and the poker game, both in the first chapter, spring immediately to mind.
I cant help but feel that Matt Hollingsworths color choices have a great deal to do with that vibe.
the colors brighten a bit to more traditional superhero tones.
This is also where Brian Pulido steps in on the art.
Instead, the shift in the tone of the story itself abets the art change.
Each chapter can stand on its own, and each opens up right in the thick of things.
You dont catch your breath with this book.
Its the same kind of smart, fun, street-level superhero action, with some really spectacular art.
As an added bonus, the long-forgotten Matt Fraction penned (and Alan Davis drawn!)
Story:8/10
