Hawkeye, Volume 1: My Life as a Weapon by Matt Fraction
"'Hold that thought, ya tracksuit Dracula. You asked about The Avengers. Y'wanna know the best part about being an Avenger? Having Captain America around you all the time. He just-- The guy just brings out the absolute best in people. You... want to be good when he's around. You really do. Ivan, look around you real quick. Because, right now? Captain America ain't here.'"
Year Read: 2022
Rating: 5/5
Thoughts: This is one of the best things I've read this year, and one of the best graphic novels I've read ever. Every issue starts with, "Okay... this looks bad." which is one of the best ways to start a story (and, honestly, the embodiment of Clint Barton's character). Each one is thrilling and action-packed, with compelling plots, excellent character work, and laugh out loud humor alongside the more serious and dramatic elements. It's almost hard to believe that Fraction manages to fit all that in one book, but he makes it look effortless. Aja's artwork is beautiful, and its purple color palette and smudgy aesthetic fits the character so well.
The characters are top-notch. I knew the MCU did Clint dirty, first in erasing his disability and then by erasing his whole personality, but I never realized how bad it was until I picked these up. He's fucking delightful, with a dry sense of humor, a complete lack of self-preservation, and a deep commitment to doing the right thing for the people around him. He had my heart from the first issue when he saved Lucky and everyone in his tenement building. Kate Bishop is a fun complement with her witty humor and easy sophistication, and I love the mentor/partnership relationship between the two of them. My edition also includes a cute issue on Barton first passing the bow to Kate that I adored, although the style is quite different. If you're interested in getting into comics, this is an excellent starting place.
