all right, all right, all right. anne is correct in all things and maybe hawkeye can be interesting, in the right hands. so, anne was kind enough to bully me into reading a hawkeye book. i'm not a superhero person, and i've read very little in the way of superhero-based graphic novels. i read Watchmen and X-Men: The Dark Phoenix Saga because they were assigned for one of my library-school readers' advisory classes, and i've read a bunch of batman books because - batman, but as far as the rest of...
Hey, Marvel. Instead of massive crossovers and killing off major characters as publicity stunts, do more like this. Please and thank you.Hawkeye seems like an odd character for Matt Fraction to do after his acclaimed run on Invincible Iron Man where he wrote Tony Stark as a slightly dickish genuis who was more interesting than the superhero aspect. He uses a similar style to give us a version of Clint Barton that relies on the character’s history instead of discarding it, yet could be picked up
If someone had told me that one of the best graphic novel collections of the past year would be about Hawkeye (the Avenger, not the M.A.S.H character), I would have scoffed. Hawkeye? Really? The bow and arrow dude with a big mouth and identity issues. Meh!Well, true believers, they would have been correct. In this collection, he’s a compulsive, impetuous, big mouth first, super-hero second, who’s not above getting his butt kicked (repeatedly). One issue recounts how Clint Barton (aka Hawkeye) on...
Hawkeye is the best comic story in a decade.
Hawkeye: My Life as a Weapon was a fun read! The artwork is great, but the last section was probably the best. The style changed quite a bit. The first few sections are a bit more raw, like they were older. The last one had a different look to it, but I liked both styles. Clint Barton hasn’t had enough of the spotlight in the movies so I was excited to read this. I’m also excited about the Disney+ show coming out in a couple of days. This collection of stories in volume 1 focuses on Clint and Ka...
WHY DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG TO PICK THIS UP?! Hawkeye is the best! This was loaded with action & humor. All I need when it comes to comics tbh. Also Kate Bishop is bae.
Actual rating : 3.5 stars░ Why did I find this hilarious? ░✔ Because Clint Barton has the best bad ideas✔ Because Captain America calls him. Okay, ONCE. Whatever.✔ Because BOOMERANG. Oh, yeah, that's the moment where you pretend to understand what I say. Huh-huh. ✔ Because I discovered many kinds of arrows and of course, that's absolutely fascinating (RIGHT?). ✔ Because Clint says DAMN a lot. So do I, so do I.✔ Because Kate totally rocks. Fortunately. Oh! And there's this dog.That's probably my
I guess everyone is right.There is some quality storytelling here that lets me forget the middling art and drops me right into the very real pathos and snark that is a pretty damn interesting Hawkeye. Though, if I'm going to be utterly honest, I think I like his little sidekick even more. She doesn't so much snark it up with words as she does it with action. I really, really like her.It looks like I'm gonna have to sit down for the rest of the night and run through all five volumes and I'm prett...
When I walked out of the theatre after watching The Avengers last year, I was too blown away by the awesomeness of The Hulk to even remember Jeremy Renner’s performance as Clint Barton (a.k.a.Hawkeye; a.k.a. the guy with the arrows). His role as a member of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes had felt rather diminished and seemed like an afterthought. Hawkeye wasn’t nearly as exciting, memorable or as flashy as Thor, Iron Man or even Agent Colson. So when I heard all the buzz behind Matt Fraction’s take on...
Really enjoyed this one! So almost everybody I know praises this series to no end; and for the most part this one lived up to it! So the story is basically a week in the life of Hawkeye kind of thing; and turns out ya Hawkeye has a life outside the Avengers, who knew? I really like how Matt Fraction writes this comic, its like his usual stuff: simplistic approach and plot, but written so so well! I honestly can't imagine reading a solo Hawkeye comic from any other writer; but it doesn't surprise...
I believe this will be my first time writing a review for graphic novels. I firmly believe that graphic novels need the same attention and effort given to regular novels. From now on, I'll be reviewing more graphic novels.Hawkeye is probably the most hated avenger, and I used to be one of them. I believe I used to think of him as a ripoff Green Arrow, but maybe I was a huge DC fanboy then. I even researched who came first, and was glad that Green Arrow came first. If you even saw my profile, it'...
I started out reading Kate Bishop Hawkeye. This was first, but it's so similar to Kate Bishop that it didn't feel new to me after starting with the later read. I can tell this is a story people like and it introduces characthers that stick around in the stories to come. It's a thriller and the story is a little choppy at times. It's a good story and the artwork was cool, but it was a little bit melodrama, I thought. I'm interested to see where this story goes and to keep on with it. Still, it's
3 – 3.5 starsOk, so as Hawkeye’s number 1 fan it’s a little surprising that it’s taken me this long to get to this critically acclaimed series starring comicdom’s greatest archer (shut up Ollie!) Matt Fraction and David Aja make a great team as they take a peek into the ‘everyday’ life of a superhero…a superhero who can’t shoot lightning bolts, fly, or bench press a city bus. What does an average Avenger do on his days off? The story starts by letting us see Clint Barton, aka the Avenging archer...
