I love you. Not enough people read Iron Fist but hopefully some of you check it.
They were giving it away for free last week, and the promotion should be coming back sometime.
Or you can buy the issues here.

Ok, that's hilarious. This is on my radar when this goes on trade, thanks for the thread NotTheGuyYouKill.

It's probably better. I dunno, I don't read most of the rest of the universe. And Frank Castle or Flash Thompson don't seem to cross paths with Clint Barton very often, if at all.
I love Clint's view of the world. And how they translate other languages. Too funny.
Oh man, I picked this up based on recommendations in the comics thread too and it is SO. GOOD. So amazing to read. The art style is incredible, the limited colour palette works really well, plus Hawkguy/bro/hang on a sex dialogue is amazing. Love this. Everyone should at least check out the first issue, even if you have to buy the digital version. They really nail the regular guy problems side of things, and he seems like such a nice guy to hang out with. He's kind of a doof but you know he can handle himself when he needs to. There's a good mix of action and heartwarming stuff, plus it's really funny.
I never read superhero type comics outside of a few graphic novel collections (Red Son, TDKR, New Frontier, etc) as I tend to prefer Vertigo style stories but this is just fantastic. Not what you'd expect from a comic about an Avenger. It's really down to earth. Wish I could just post panel after panel in here but I don't want to spoil it for everyone else.
Yes! All these parts are so good. Read this book.

This and Batwoman really rekindled my love for the entire medium. I love this book. And I hate everything and everybody.

How many issues is this? Is it one self contained book, or?

It's an on-going. 8 issues have been released to date. Issues 1-6 will be in the first TPB coming out on Tuesday. Plus, no lengthy six-issue arcs. It's either solo issues or two parters. Flows much better that way, no padding or bullshit manufactured drama.
8 issues so far I think. No tie-ins with other comics so pick up the trade when it's released this week and enjoy.

Yeah for awhile they were trying to kinda tout him as some kinda super badass back in the day but they seem to have settled on "No one really takes Hawkeye seriously so hawkeye doesn't really take the world seriously" angle and it's working. He's like a more rugged and laid back version of Spider-man right now.

Congrats on joining us Hawkeye fans. So glad I was onboard since it was first announced.

The first trade paperback!
or digital!
It's all self-contained, you don't need to know a single thing about any other comics!
Be sure to check out the artists' playlists on youtube or spotify for the issues!

What, is he the Aquaman of Marvel?

Looking it up, are you talking about the 2 volume collections from 2007 to 2008?
I've always been kind-of interested in Immortal Iron Fist.
Immortal Iron Fist is one of the greatest comics ever written. It's also very easy to read (all self-contained, all in one reading order)
Here is where you start.
But also check out Hawkeye, too.

Yeah, Immortal Iron Fist paperback volumes 1 and 2 are must-reads. Vol. 3 is alright, and 4 and 5 are kinda shit (new writer and artist). The omnibus (hardcover) collects volumes 1-3, but it's out of print and crazy expensive.
More the Green Arrow of Marvel. Yeah, he's really, really good with a bow and arrow, but...he fights alongside literal gods and monsters against literal gods and monsters. It can be a tough sell when things get really cosmic.
I firmly believe all 5 are a blast to read - even if the first 2 are amazing.
That's why Hawkeye is so good. Street level dude dealing with street level problems. Girls, gangsters, pizza dogs, etc.

If Renner was willing to do a 13 episode tv season, I think it could totally be done within the confines of the MCU. It could be the lo-fi, laid-back counterpart to the upcoming SHIELD series.
I mean... he doesn't totally resemble how Clint looks in the comic... but I could see it.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Yeah, I was going to come into this thread and gush about this book like everyone else. But I think other posters have said everything and wanted to, and more eloquently.
It's good. It's really fucking good. Fraction has been pretty smart about how this book was handled. I hope Fraction & Aja stay on this one for years. It's honestly the best book coming from either DC or Marvel right now.
Immortal Iron Fish was also pretty stellar, so I guess I shouldn't be completely shocked. He has done his best to keep his characters simple.

Ah, here it is:
I know, I really wish they got someone different for the movies. Only Marvel casting I didn't love.

Hey, at least he's more fluid in this one gif than he is in Avengers :/
Ah, here it is:
haha, explain to me all of this please.
I didnt love it either but I didnt MIND him that much
It works well on The Avengers, I just dont think it would work in a TV series of this particular run at all. This is more of a loveable idiot Ryan Reynolds kinda guy

Reynolds has played at least three comic characters. They should get him for it! How much could he possibly cost?

Well you know Marvel's position on these guys. When his contract's up they'll just move onto the next actor.
Oh god no...

Start cold. It's kinda built for that, I think.

You can start cold. It doesn't really connect to any other books in the universe.
All the series is basically is a "slice of life" really.
