Hawkeye, Vol. 1
Clint Barton, Hawkeye: Archer. Avenger. Terrible at relationships. Kate Bishop, Hawkeye: Adventurer. Young Avenger. Great at parties. Matt Fraction, David Aja and an incredible roster of artistic talent hit the bull's eye with your new favorite book, pitting Hawkguy and Katie-Kate - not to mention the crime-solving Pizza Dog - against all the mob bosses, superstorms and mystery redheads they can throw at them. Five Eisner Award nominations and two wins, bro!
A veteran Avenger and master archer who has been sidelined from the team's main missions; he navigates a personal crisis while taking on low-level criminal cases in his hometown.
This volume is widely considered an excellent entry point for new readers interested in the character of Hawkeye, as it redefines Clint Barton's everyday life outside of his Avenger duties and introduces Kate Bishop as a co-lead.
The Disney+ series Hawkeye draws significant inspiration from the tone, character dynamics, and specific plot elements established in this comic run, particularly the focus on Clint Barton's street-level adventures and his relationship with Kate Bishop.
The narrative frequently shifts between the perspectives of Clint Barton and Kate Bishop, offering distinct insights into their individual struggles and shared adventures. There is also a notable issue told entirely from the perspective of Pizza Dog.
