they gave him an actual character, i love this run so fuckinnnng much
He was the leader of the Thunderbolts, now he is a loser.
He had a character, people just didn't care enough about him to find out .
@@knightofkorbin888 That is really frustrating. If people would just use their eyes and read his early stories they would know that he had plenty of character.
Ya know.... the one thing people don’t talk about enough when it comes to this comic is the deaf representation. The accurate/authentic use of ASL and the entire storyline dealing with Clint’s deafness is done so fucking well. I am deaf myself with hearing aids, and growing up I’ve never seen another superhero who was like me. I’ve always wanted a strong/mainstream deaf superhero, and we finally got one with this comic. That one comic panel where he revealed his hearing aids legit made me cry cause it was one of the first times I’ve been able to strongly relate to a superhero. I really hope the MCU explores this in the Hawkeye TV show they’re making bc it’s just so important to me and the deaf community to have this representation out there.
they're prolly gonna explore it. In the trailer we can see him wearing hearing aids or some kind.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Echo deaf?
@@looniemoonie5955 yes it is.
I wish Marvel/Disney would turn Fraction and Aja's "Hawkeye," run into the next superhero Netflix series. Jeremy Renner could carry his role from the MCU into the Marvel TV universe.
I would love that and I think it would make for a great show. But I have very little hope of it happening. It seems like they don't know what to do with Hawkeye in general.
We actually might get it. There’s rumors of a Hawkeye series or film.
I would love this. They have no idea of what to do with Hawkeye.
Their characters are drastically different though. MCU Hawkeye is a well rounded family man.
I would love this but I don’t think it’ll happen with Renner’s iteration of Hawkeye, being a family man and all.
Not to mention the INCREDIBLE COLORING BY MATT HOLLINGSWORTH...
He is a aster colorist, and he evendid one whole issue using the colors of a Van Gogh painting pallet as reference!
I bet the Hawkeye Disney+ show will have an episode purely from the dog's perspective. Maybe it'll even get Emmy award buzz lol
All hail Clint Barton.
Indeed. It's a shame Marvel would eventually kick Clint out of his own book before butchering Kate's character.
HAWKEYES GONNA HAVE A SWORD IN AVENGERS GAME!!!! HAWKEYE, AND KATE BISHOP POST LAUNCH DLC NEWS FOR AVENGERS!!! NEW DETAILS, RELEASE DATES, AND MORE…. COMPLETE BREAKDOWN OF BOTH TRAILERS, Easter eggs, AND MORE!!!! CHEKC IT OUT!

I just realised he is my favourite avenger
And Queen Kate Bishop
This is my favorite Marvel Comic. I've got the whole run on it, and when read all together straight through, it feels like a really good movie,especially with the "End Credits" panels which made me think of to like a movie. It'd make an amazing series and honestly it's one of the more subtle and profound comics from the past 10 years. there've been bigger name comics with more popular characters, but none of those connected as well as this run of Hawkeye did.
Planning on reading through the whole run soon! How many issues is it all together?

Is it ever too late to reread this run and get the most out of it? I struggle with reading and had trouble understanding he format and style of Matt Fraction and feel like I missed out on a once in a lifetime experience? I just feel so stupid, mundane, and embarrassed.
One of the things I love most about this comic is how, on some intuitive level, it just _feels_ like a comic. It feels as much like a celebration of the form and medium as an incredibly good story.

@@jaysmith3173 Comics should be for leisure and one's own enjoyment and fulfillment, so don't feel bad if something doesn't work for you. There is no universal "right" or "wrong" when it comes to things like art and storytelling. Also, you can always re-read a book, and maybe you'll like it this time. I know that's happened to me with things. But if you don't, that's fine too.
At the end of the day, don't sweat it. This isn't a school assignment, and reading should be for fun. People who make it a chore or try to tell you to read/like certain things are obnoxious and not worth listening to.
@@BThings I know it’s just the New Hawkeye show is coming out and being heavily based off this comic series and while I get there aren’t any universal right or wrongs, it’s just always seem like that whenever there is hype over anything now and all my friends wil be watching it (I’m definitely going to), and I want to feel honored for reading the comic and enjoying it like everyone else and be aware in discussions, I hope you understand. And thx your message means alot
@@jaysmith3173 That's fair. And like I said, you can always give it another go by re-reading it. Maybe it will click for you this time, and if it doesn't that's okay too. There are books that my friends rave about that I just don't get the appeal of. Then, we'll watch the movie adaptation, and I really enjoy it along with them, even though I didn't like the source material as much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I remember about 3 issues into this series thinking, "OMG, I'm reading a modern classic". This book felt like a true artistic vision, not just a hired job. I also feel like as great as this book is, it's responsible for a lot of the downfall of marvel. I feel like people misunderstood the minimalist art for amateurish, and the kitschiness as silliness. This was a book that took itself seriously in a world with goofy characters. A lot of books have tried to mimic the 'cuteness' of this book without understanding the real drama underneath all of it. IMO, this was the last truyly amazing year for marvel. With this, Godbomb and a handful of other titles, I feel like this was the end of auteur-driven books at Marvel.
This was the first comic book series I read and it really got me to love Hawkeye as a character. I still do. Hawkeye is my favorite superhero and I really see myself relating to him even now after three years since I first read the comic. These stories really helped me get through a rough patch and I really recommend them to anyone looking for a good read.

@@jaysmith3173 Don't feel embarrassed, and there's never a bad time to read a good comic, so just go for it :)
If you find it hard then you're not the only one, some people find comic formats harder to read
@@dolier2802 I just feel bad and like a newbie noob now that the show finally came out and I didn’t get to reread it beforehand and now I can’t fit in with the fans and experts despite being a Marvel fan my whole life
@@dolier2802 Thx , I appreciate it man. Really means a lot. Just wish it was after the reply above lmao
@@jaysmith3173 Nah don't feel bad, no such thing as a newbie, don't buy into all those terms, just enjoy characters and stories for what they are, as long as you enjoy it then you're a fan, if you can't re-read the comic, then you can still engage in discussions for the show :)
I would love to read the Adventures of Lucky. :) Great video, Draper.
Wen Bilson I would, too. Thanks, Wen!
The only one sounding like a douchebag here is you. Enjoy that.
The best sequential art I’ve ever seen. Glad you brought up Hollingsworth. Can’t imagine this series without those now iconic color choices
wow, has it really been so long? It feels like I was reading this well not yesterday but like last month? it left a very lasting impression, like I already loved kate biship from YA but this showed a whole new side of her and I think it cemented my love of clint barton,and why I'm so sad about mcu!clint.
great video, really well done
Charlie Danvers Thanks! I love Kate in this book, too. I think this is a comic that lingers in the memories of readers for a long time. It's got so much heart.
Great stuff, man. This is my favorite run of comic books and you did a phenomenal job breaking it down and showing me things I hadn't considered before. Well done, mate.
Kevin Lanigan Thank you! Very glad that you enjoyed it.

I know this is an older video, and I'm rather late to the commenting party, but this series is my favorite comic book series of all time. Ever. I don't even remember how I got into it. I just remember sitting in my third-period Statistics class, bored as hell, and on my phone. Then I remember going onto a comic book website, deciding I'd sneak in some reading on my phone. The next thing I remember is being two issues in when the bell rings, and I remember getting rather irritated that I had to stop reading. This series really turned Hawkeye into my favorite Marvel Comics character, and the series is really important to me. I was going through a really bad break-up and severe depressive episodes when I first read this issue, and to see a relatable character also going through depression, but forced to keep carrying on was endearing. I really wish that Matt Fraction and David Aja would come back to do another Hawkeye series. Granted, I love what Matthew Rosenberg is doing with Hawkeye Freefall, and I love Otto Schmit's art, but Fraction and Aja made literal magic.
Wonderful video mate!
Watching a lot of your videos, and noticing how well your panel -to-panel placement & editing fit the mood of any scene you're describing...I think your style fits PARTICULARLY well covering this series. I never realized just how strong Aja's paneling and layout were until I saw you put them in motion. Thank you. :)
...you ever consider working on motion comics? XD
I'd love to see you do one on Fraction/Brubaker/Aja's Immortal Iron Fist
Richard Werder Damn good idea
The artwork is super cool in this comic. So simple yet so detailed.
3 years later, a trailer for the Hawkeye series has been released and is based on this comic run.
Matt, what a comic book run, and what a video. It really felt like your video matched the quality of this run in a wonderfully, fantastic way! I showed my wife, who isn’t a big super hero fan and it really might have convinced her to give this a read!
One of my all time favorite comic book runs. I got frustrated when this was coming out because I wanted to talk about it all of the time, but nobody around me was interested in it.

dug up these from storage & forgot how much of my favourite series it was, easily my favourite read
Wish Marvel still publish these kind of comics. It's just chill and vibe to calm story with the amazing illustration of Aja
This is a spectacular review of my favorite comic book series.
Matt, That's one of my favorite video on youtube. I discovered this comics because of you, and for that I'm forever grateful. Since this video/comics, I always wanted a Hawkeye series and as it's like 5 days away, this video reminds me why we are in for a treat.
Thanks matt, I should have posted this comment 3 years ago but as we say : Better late than never.
instant sub. Beautifully told and presented, man.
And, yes, this comic is awesome, both visually and story-wise. I managed to get all the comics in back issue, but not without a lot of scrounging. This series fast became an instant classic and is set to be a future benchmark fro future storytelling.
Im really happy that I took the leap and grabbed the omnibus for this one.
I’ve NEVER spent a hundred bucks on a book before and wasn’t even familiar with the series. I remember seeing one of the issues years back on a rack and not paying attention to it.
Recently I started nabbing up random graphic novels and that book I saw on the rack popped into my mind so I looked it up and ordered the omnibus from my local comic shop.
Great read and I find myself wanting to push it onto all of my friends 😁
Thank you for getting me into this run and also the dope artist playing in the background
My pleasure! HOME is a fantastic band.
This was one of my first TPB as a kid and I fucking loved it.
Just saw your LA video and watched this one. Your Hawkeye is video is still a good essay, but I can definitely see your improvement since this video. Good work, Matt!
Subscribed almost instantly. I've wanted a channel like this since forever ago. Amazing analysis. Thank you. Keep going and you'll have thousands of subs in no time.
t00ny Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I truly appreciate the support.
I just found this channel, but your videos seem so interesting, this channel is definitely a diamond in the rough.
Thank you kindly!
Revisiting this after the Hawkeye series was announced!
One of my favourite comic series ever
david aja is amazing. i cant put into words how great he is. he might be the best comic artist ive ever seen. the trade is a must have.
I've always loved Matt Fraction's work especially his Invincible Iron Man run from 2008 to 2012
A notable bit of the Disney plus trailer has got to be inspired by the car chase scene from this comic when they're sorting through Clint's arrows lol
One of my favorite comics. I really love this
you've convinced me to read this. i thank you !!
Thank you Matt Draper for your essential wisdoms.
I have this comic series! So excited for the hawkeye series!
Loved this analysis
this channel seems underrated for its narrative.
All your videos are awesome!!
I mean it Matt, when I read Hawkeye--I was really caught by the eclectic layout and brilliant writing. The focus on characterization and subtle nuanced art really challenged me in ways that comics typically doing. The colors were flat and cartoony but only accentuated the humanity and realism of the characters more--way way more than the hyperrealized, muscles spraypainted outfit designs we see now. It's just so well done, I couldn't put it into words, and was hoping someone on the internet felt the same way. When I saw this video I was like--oooooooooh--nice! It's just cool that see not only someone having the same appreciation but also the fortitude to put it to words and then edit it all together so beautifully. Thanks dude!
Thank you, I really appreciate that! This comic means a lot to me, as well, so it's great to hear from someone else who connected with it deeply like me.
This Comic Book Series should be made into a Netflix Series.
Its coming to Disney plus now
Always loved Hawkeye in the movies. Especially in Age of Ultron and after that. Glad to be reading this series, it’s so much fun!
Recently read this comic. Still coming off the high. Gotta say I’ll miss it.
Unique art? That work is dripping with Mazzuchelli's influence unlike anything I've seen short of Mazzuchelli's work itself. Can anyone say, 'Batman: Year One'?
I'm new to your channel and I've only see two videos so far, this one and the Moon Knight one and now I REALLY want to read these two series
It’s learning more about Hawkeye, especially since Endgame
Great Comic! Great Video! Keep Going!
Such an amazing series
Here from iamthatroby :) can't wait to binge watch all your videos!
Elsie Alkurabi Glad you found the channel. Roby is an awesome dude!
Elsie Alkurabi his great and his videos are great too!!!
These books and Jeremy Renner are why Clint is my favourite super hero
Very good video on Hawkeye. The hero, as well as this series, isn't something id usually think about, being more into anime and not really into comics. However you really managed to break it down and sell it to me. Good video and keep it up.
Zentagon Thank you!
This is one of my favourite comic series.
Congratulations brother , now here we have an entire series over this cult classic comic 🤩
I want a hAwkeye Netflix series now!!
Good news, one is coming to disney plus and its based on this comic
I just read through this series recently while in covid lockdown lol, all of this is still so true
Thankfully Matt fraction made this when he did which ironically paralleled the MCU having Hawkeye in Avengers in the same year which led to now allowing us to get the Hawkeye show. Even though it’s only based on this comic I know it’ll be difficult to mess such an iconic comic story up in the show unless Marvel gets too greedy and focus only on setting up future MCU events. It’s gonna be interesting to see how they make Clint similar to this comic as our MCU Hawkeye is less a screw up but rather someone suffering from heavy emotional trauma from the snap and losing Natasha but so far the show is freaking hilarious and for sure the funniest marvel show we’ve gotten by far. My favorite scene was when Hawkeye was tied up talking to the tracksuit mafia and arguing about who “the guy” is with Clint saying “Kate bishop is not guy” lmao
this and Hawkeye Freefall are DEFINITELY my favorite hawkeye stories. i love clint in the comics :)
Fun spotlight :)
Agreed it still holds up
this is my favorite comic ever
GREAT VIDEO
Just announced at SDCC!
Bro. Seriously. Great video, bro.
Seriously. Bro.
Thank you
Whats the best Printing for Hawkeye #1 comic money and cover wise.
Y’just snap your fingers real hard has a whole new meaning now.
Picked this one up from the library while on vacation thanks to your suggestion.
It was a summer when I also picked up Alias by Bendis and Neil Gaimans "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?"
Hawkeye vol. 1 was the one I read twice.
When I got home I bought all four volumes. Last night I read them all.
In short, this is a damn good and very creative run.
While I personally think it shines its brightest when Aja draws, it is never "bad" (although I didn't care much for vol. 3, L.A. Woman. Not that Kate is a bad character on her own, it just felt so weird compared to the more grounded apartment-building story or the espionage bit of "The tape", so that put me off. Also, what's with the overuse of silhouettes in annual #1? It doesn't look stylish, it looks lazy!). It's always good, but when Aja draws it goes from good to great! Those are my favourite parts and the ones I will come back and re-read this book for.
Thank you for recommending this.
Haven't read it yet. The art reminds me of Daredevil's Born Again.
aw good storytelling, you are great
aw good storytelling with a deaf character, you are greaat
aw arrow that's on me
5:17
Now that is a good boy.
Hi Matt, loved the video. Have you read Jeff Lemire's run on Green Arrow? It was running around the same time as Fraction's run on Hawkeye. Although very different, I loved Lemire's run on Green Arrow. If you find it interesting as well, please do a video on that I would love to hear your take on it
also very interestingly, jeff lemire's run on hawkeye was after his green arrow run and matt fraction's run. jeff lemire's run on hawkeye is a great ending to the kate and clint partnership, that started with fraction's run.
Can I still buy this in 2021 may??? I live in Denmark Copenhagen
Whats your opinion of Jeff Lemire's hawkeye? I read both runs together because Lemire's was labeled 5 and 6. I liked it but not as much as Fraction's.
Danny Hoffman I feel the same. It's a solid continuation, but it's lacking the spark that this run had.
i like the lemire run as the ending to the kate and clint partnership. also his run on hawkeye is like the unspoken trilogy of modern hawkeye: starts with fraction's run, then lemire's run, and ending it with kelly thompson's run.
This man must be happy right now
Can't wait for HAWKEYE
Looks great. I stopped reading comics at a point where Hawkeye was married to Mockingbird and leading the West Coast Avengers, so this is pretty much unrecognizable to me. Nevertheless it does look really good and I'd love to check it out. Time to start collecting again?
This was my first comic
I prefer when he was leader of the West Coast Avengers or the Thunderbolts.
5:39 What does "welltha" mean?
Good video.. bro
I believe I'm the first person who ended up here, with a comment, after watching the Hawkeye trailer :-)
Shit I'm late
Ah I love this comic so much ♥ ❤ 💖 😍 💕
I've read this shit twice. Getting ready for the third time.
This comic is masterpiece
Cool video!! Hawkeye should have his own team. The Arrow tv show developed a team around Green Arrow. The MCU can do the same for Clint Barton.
Nah the team thing would take too much screen time from hawkeye
Aja’s style reminds me of Mazzucchelli.
My favourite comic book character is Hulk but Hawkeye is definitely a great Marvel character and extremely underrated in the Marvel selection, he seem like a really tragic character that hide his pain with humour and sarcasm, he ain't a hero he seem more anti-heroic lacking superpowers relying on resourceful weapons, great at maneuvering, climbing and parkour, he's equivalent to Nathan Drake in PlayStation's line-up, really disappointing that Clint never got his own solo movie to showcase his own origins
I just wish the MCU would focus on how badass his archery skills and/or his super human marksman skills. They hint at it just like his fighting skills as the Ronin. He is suppose be on par or better the Bullseye with the point and click.
How do they afford to include all these action sequences in the comic?
Will you ever do a video on scott Snyder's run of batman?
Valerio Definitely! I'm considering how to approach it, but I think the first video to touch on it will be about The Black Mirror.
Your videos don't get enough credit man
Goode thing I took asl lal . Bad thing I forget most of what Ik
Hawkeye: My comic is great.
Green Arrow: Hold my Quiver.
Got to love when a character defines themselves by an outdated weapon with limited ammo!
The name CLINT must be tough on letterers.
loved the video, I just thought you missed a great oportunity to draw a parallel
between the hawkeye in the mcu with the first pages of the series
Would you do a video of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns?
It will definitely happen. Probably sometime in the next few months.
That's okay, Matt. I understand. Keep up the good work.
