There is no way you could pay me to buy a book about Hawkeye.

Your loss.

I don't think much of hawkeye, to me he's been a random white guy with blonde hair who shoots a bow and has a vanilla personality with occasional hostility.

The first two issues of Hawkeye were great, they were fun and engaging and reminded me of the quality of Fraction's Iron Fist, another character i knew very little of and also fell into the "random white guy" container. Hawkeye should not be missed if you like fun. And not ASM fake fun *pokes kryptonian* but actual fun.

Do you have a random black guy and random latino guy category too?

not enough to have random ones :P

I was wondering if i should just edit that out altogether, but it comes from reading secret avengers 21.1, a story with Cap trying to convince Hawkeye to lead the Secret Avengers and in one panel the artist drew them almost EXACTLY a like. So it's more of a random moment that stuck.

I remember that. I think Hawkeye is cool though. He is one of my favorites on the Avengers. I remember doing a little write up on tumblr about the relationship between him and Cap, actually. Forgot to include that scene into it but...maybe that is best.
 
i get what captyamato is saying tho. hawkeye has been boring as it can get forever. remember the dismal hawkeye and mockingbird series? and all the shit hawkeye miniseries?

take a chance on this one, Cap!
 
New Avengers roster looks pretty amazing. Its on the solicits but I'll spoiler it since they're blacked out on the cover.

The Black Panther, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Black Bolt, Mister Fantastic, Namor the Sub-Mariner and The Beast

What??? Beast took the place of Xavier? That's cool! At least it's not Wolverine!

Did he got the infinity gem?

Hawkeye is the one with the PURPLE tie and Cap is the one with the BLUE suit.

It's like Power Rangers.

Bro, why you gotta hate on fun, Bro? Hawkguy's book is about a bro just living his life as a bro should when he's a superhero bro, Bro.

Isn't the relationship similar to how Steve and Bucky were? Cap has trained Clint and has helped shape him into being a leader. Also, don't they occasional slip into big/little brother moments?
 
That fill-in art artist for WatXM leaves me salty after seeing the Nick Bradshaw cover. :(

I think it was the same guy that just got kicked off Gischler's X-Men too. Reeeeeeeally not a fan. His faces look all squished.
 
Yo, I think "fun" is the most terrible meaningless buzzword in comics discussion, but if you hate on Hawkeye what the fuck is wrong with you? It's capital-C Comics, which is what Fraction does best, and he's got Aja and Hollingsworth backing him up doing their wonderful wonderful thing. It's gritty without being grim. It's got a wonderful sense of place, character and action. It's got Pizza Dog, second only to Bat-Cow for greatest character find of 2012 (third place is Pelican Army from Dial H). It's The Best New Thing of 2012, and fuck you if you don't think so.

wait what

WHAT
 
Would be totally rad if we went a whole month without someone getting jumped on for not liking what "we" like. I know I'm just as guilty but I still find it funny. I'm way more used to fanboys that get on people's asses for liking things they hate than the other way around.

Ed: Also Bat Cow can piss off. It's just more of Morrison's preachy meat is murder bullshit. Nearly ruined his run on Animal Man.
 
So I just bought Hawkeye #1 and all of Batman Beyond 011, so I'm good to go for awhile. No lunch for awhile, but that's cool.

Anyway, I really liked the artwork in Hawkeye, and I enjoyed what the first page said a lot: "Clint Barton is an Avenger. This is what he does when he's not with them. That's ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW." The idea of a super-hero's normal life is what I like most about Marvel and Super hero comics in general.

Question, though: Wasn't Hawkeye married?

It's the somewhat charming whim of a kid. It's not addressed or followed up on in any of the following issues. It's just a joke man.

Vegetarians are NOT funny! You can't see me right now but I'm making a very stern frowny face.
 
So he can totally schmooze with the Black Widow? I'm down with this.

He has to get past my man winter soldier first but sure

Y'know what I found ironic in Hawkguy #3?

The redhead he slept with totally reminded me of her. Guess despite him hooking up with various girls, he still has a thing for redheads.


Clint has banged half the Marvel universe, so...

Not really Clint's fault that he's such a lovable idiot. :3

Also, since when is mildly advocating vegetarianism after a fight through a slaughterhouse "preachy bullshit"?

Lisa The Vegetarian is preachy bullshit now?

Whatever, it had a good rhythm.

This is as annoying as Hawkeye.

"capital-C comics", jeez.
