From Reader Review Hawkeye, Volume 1 for online ebook

Paul says

Update Nov. 23, 2013:

So, like I've said, I've gotten rid of the trade and went for the over-sized hardcover... will be re-reading the whole thing from the start this evening and coming back to review.

**************

I hesitated before I purchased this trade, after all, Hawkeye had never been one of those "great" super-heroes, and even when I read a story with him in the Avengers, his snarky attitude always put me off. Here's one guy, I always thought, that does not have his place amongst the greats.

And then I read this.

An amazing story about a super-hero, that really, isn`t. Drawn in a super-hero kinda way, that really, isn`t. Stories and art like the one in this book made me feel I might have been missing out on some other great stuff out there.

Oh, and I just found out there'll be a hardcover version of the first 11 issues... I am so getting that!

Cecilia says

3.5 stars Hawkeye has always been one of the avengers that I have been curious about, and this comic is (what I could make of it) about his time when he's not an avenger. Which basically is Clint/Hawkeye fighting with bad guys and being knocked out (many, many times).

I think that this comic just scrapped the surface of Clint's character and I want to read more and get to see more of him. It would be interesting to see him with the other avengers too. ^^

Danny says

First half was a fun action superhero comedy with extremely great bottle chapters of Clint Bartons ever day life outside of the costume. Adored it. Second half really faltered to incoherence with the mob after him and getting into details of his past loves. Some really good supporting characters but, I've read better superhero books. Fraction annoyed me with some of his "hip" dialogue and how the entire mob kept saying bro. It stopped being funny after two pages of hearing that word. Aja is a talented artist and made some creative panel details but I feel needs a better colorist.

5 joyous, perfect stars. I actually can’t talk about this book in too much detail because it just hits the mark on every single level, with a perfect union between Matt Fraction’s witty heartbreaking empathetic writing (that addresses Clint as exactly the funny everyman disaster he should be, as the least ~*super*~ member of the Avengers); David Aja’s wonderful sparse noirish art; and also Matt Hollingsworth’s work as colourist — which is not normally something I notice or even think about in comics, but the minimalist colour palette of this series gives it such a distinctive look with all those crisp purples. This edition also has a nice little note at the end showing how the palettes were kept consistent across a whole volume, not just issue-by-issue.

The dynamic & chemistry between Clint and Kate is electric, and I found I could just sit and read them bantering and bickering and her bailing his ass out of the fire, well, pretty much forever. Kate Bishop is an absolute treasure and a complete badass.

This edition is an omnibus — combining volumes 1 and 2 of the trades — which means that it’s actually very long at 272 pages, and gives you a big ole hefty dose of action and fun adventure. There are technically a few downsides to the volume, e.g. I am not a fan of Javier Pulido’s art, and so was really glad when Aja returned; and the whole thing with the Clown is ? really ? disjointed and confusing ? but then it course- corrects and punches you right in the goddamn chest with Pizza Dog’s issue. My heart.

Anyway, it’s just as good as I always heard it was. Bless u Justine for finally getting me to read this. I already have the next volume on hold at the library.

Anthony says

I wrote a pretty fanboy-y review of the first soft cover a few years ago, and upon re-reading the hardcover, there's not many more ways I can put 'this is a good book and worth your time and money'.

This collects the first 11 issues and a 1 shot Fraction did with Davis a few years before (he did a Young Avengers comic heavily focused on Kate and featuring Clint and would then go on to write a very highly acclaimed run featuring the duo. Planned? Who knows)

The slight problem this volume has is that as we get to issues 9 and onwards, we get some plot-threads that are opened and not tied up. They'll lead directly into volume 2 (which is coming, hopefully? maybe? or they go straight to omnibus) which does hinder this being a strong 1 volume graphic novel in and of itself. But that is me being a little nit-picky.

The book itself has a really nice cover design on the book. This is becoming a regular thing with the recent Marvel NOW oversized hardcovers. They might not always be thick, but they look good.

Anna says

I completely get all the praise. From the writing, the graphics, and the coloring to the writing, dialogue and nonlinear structure - I totally and utterly adore this book. The only thing I hate was the ending. As in not the ending itself, but the fact that it ended at all. I could've easily kept reading and continued to love every minute of it. Definitely getting my hands on the next volume.

Lauren Stoolfire says

Clint Barton is Hawkeye, a fantastic archer and a member of the Avengers. Aside from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I don't know much about his character, but I liked where they went with him in Age of Ultron. I'd heard so many good things about this new story that I really wanted to check it out. And, as it turns out, the action is so much fun and the sense of humor is right on target.

I loved that, for the most part, each issue started out with some variation of: "Okay, this looks bad." Followed up by a panel that goes something like this:

Then, there's always an undercurrent of absurdity with his skill set like:

I can't forget to mention the artwork that brings it all to life. There are several talented illustrators who lend their talents to Matt Fraction's text. Of all of them, I believe David Aja's contributions were my favorite overall. You can't go wrong with a good car chase scene:

There's so much to like about Matt Fraction's current Hawkeye series! I honestly didn't want to put it down, and I'm really looking forward to reading the next volume.

Jon Sheppard says

Like a lot of readers, I'd give this six stars out of five if I could. This is the most fun thing I've read lately. This is Clint Barton, the World's Greatest Marksman, ordinary guy, champion of the oppressed (especially one particular apartment building in Brooklyn), and enemy of Bros everywhere, bro. (Read the book and you'll get the joke). With his loyal sidekick/protege Kate Bishop and his loyal sidekick/adopted dog Pizza Dog, he fights for truth, justice and potluck barbecues. I highly recommend this series. Can't wait for the final issue. Marvel doesn't just need to make a Hawkeye movie, they need to make *this* Hawkeye movie.

Glenj says

Can I give this book 6 stars? Seriously, this is the type of comic that reminds me why I still read comic books and can't give them up. Works like these renew my faith that there still are fresh an exciting ways to tell stories in this format; even by a publisher like Marvel with a mainstream character. The art is simply comic book perfection and sequential storytelling at its finest. You don't need to have ever read a Hawkeye comic in your life to enjoy this series. Even more amazing is that despite the astonishing pencils by David Aja the book doesn't suffer at all by the fill-in artists who are nearly equally as amazing. This is basically a book about what a superhero does on his days off from saving the world and its more exciting than any standard Avengers comic could ever be. This review is for the deluxe Hardcover edition of the first volume which I highly recommend as the way to check this series because the larger-sized pages make the art even more

Meredith says

This is so much [obscene gerund] fun, bro.

Jonny Campo says this friggin comic is friggin best bro. haha see what I did there bro anyways I don't even like hawkeye or marvel really for that matter but this is an amazing read you won't like the art at first but by the end you will love it, this is probably one of my favorite books ever

Jesse says

Top notch stuff! I'm fairly certain this is the first time I ever read Matt Fraction and I gotta say it blew me away. Also a a great selection of artists for this first collection. Its gritty and real, while still playing with story and page structure. I was never one for Hawkeye. When I was a kid he was always just the guy who shot trick arrows and that was about it. This run and the recent movies have given him new life, and I'm loving it. I can't wait to read the next hardcover.

Now as per my standard closing message. I bought this book from a brick and mortar bookstore. I encourage you to do the same, or at least order it from one. Support brick and mortar stores!

Theodora says

Aaron says

I'm well behind the hype on this one, as this series has been coming out for over a year, so I read this after just about every one of my comic-reader friends told me it was the best book out there. Needless to say, my expectations were high going in. But here's the other thing: I didn't really know what to expect. So, I think that helped, because the amount of love and creativity Fraction has poured into this thing is beyond what I ever imagined it would be.

I've read a lot of Fraction's work: Immortal Iron Fist is one of my favorite series ever, plus I thoroughly enjoyed Casanova and his Thor work (plus other things I'm forgetting). While I don't think Hawkeye quite lives up to Iron First, it's definitely the second best of all those series. Fraction tends to write heady, rapid- fire storylines that take very subtle (sometimes to the point of not being followable) twists and turns that can at times leave you almost exhausted. However, I much prefer his more accessible work, and Hawkeye is possibly his most accessible, and human, story yet.

In Hawkeye, we get a fantastic portrait of a pretty run-of-the-mill superhero, who makes plenty of mistakes and gets his ass kicked constantly. I was reminded of Indiana Jones a lot as I read this, as Indy seems to almost win by losing. Clint Barton has a similar thing going on, where no matter how much he gets the crap beat out of him, he keeps going.

Also, this book is hilarious in a very grounded way, which I almost never find in mainstream comics. Usually it's about how ridiculous the villain is, or the "funny quips" the hero spouts while kicking someone in the face. Not so in Hawkeye. We get actual comedy from the characters and their reactions to each other, various behavior based running gags, lots of fantastic visual jokes from Aja, and just a light, fun tone that never lets anything feel too heavy, even when it should be. One particular standout is a chapter written entirely from the point of view of a dog, where the story is told through visual representations of smells and snippets of dialogue the dog could actually understand. It's an incredible piece of comic art, up there with any of the most creative entries in the medium.

The only downside I can pinpoint with this volume is its abrupt end. It feels like a new storyline has only just started heating up when this one ends, and Marvel is not known for releasing their deluxe hardcovers in a timely fashion, so it could be years before I continue the story in this form. But who cares, really, when the thing I just read was so great. That'll just give me more of a reason to read it again when the next one comes out.

Nicolo Yu says

Fraction and Aja's Hawkeye (or Hawkguy) has come to herald the coming of sublime comic books from unexpected characters. Comic book readers had Charles Soule's She-Hulk, Nick Spencer's Superior Foes of Spider-Man, and Tom King's Vision; critically beloved comics that coexist with blockbusters like Infinity and Secret Wars. Hawkeye was a right blend of thrilling storytelling and innovative art. It was easy to see why fans and critics loved it.

This is the first oversized hardcover to collect the run. A second volume completes it but it is with this volume that shows the reader of how innovative this comic was. This volume has the hurricane issue, the romance covers and the pizza dog issue, the latter especially, since it tells the story from Lucky the PIzza

Dog's perspective and utilizes symbols to convey what a dog would be thinking at that particular moment.

This is an easy 5 stars and I will be getting the second volume to complete the set. This was my best FCBD purchase ever.
