Comic of the Day 4/5: "Hawkeye" #1

2012's "Hawkeye" #1 by Matt Fraction, David Aja and Matt Hollingsworth is probably one of the best comics you'll ever read. So, without further ado, I'll just run down the 10 reasons why "Hawkeye" #1 completely kills it.

  1. Clint's ironic badass take on himself.
  2. David Aja really knows how to use inks.
  3. Matt Hollingsworth really knows how to color a summer day.
  4. It perfectly captures the feeling of living in a metropolis.
  5. Matt fraction tells a story that is both full of action and empathic. 
  6. Clint rescues a dog.
  7. Pets, loads of pets.
  8. It's witty and funny, without ever forcing it.
  9. Clint doesn't even use his bow here. He does it all with pennies and playing cards. Pennies. And. Playing. Cards.
  10. The hilarious "Arrow" reference at the end.

Surprisingly, it scores a perfect 10/10.
