What Made Hawkeye by Matt Fraction, David Aja & Co. So Special?

- Hawkeye officially enters "Marvel Now" with issue #6, running through issue #14 by the end of 2013, the last year Hawkeye published with any consistency (it would take another 19 months for the final 8 issues to release). I'll look at this year long stretch, primarily made up of Matt Fraction, David Aja and Matt Hollingsworth, with Francisco Francavilla and Steve Lieber providing important fill-in art, and Annie Wu coming on to the team by year's end.
The first 5 issues of Hawkeye had already made it one of the most critically acclaimed comics of 2012, with "The Tape" story arc of issues four and five functioning as the most straightforward superhero story of the entire run. In the first three issues, Fraction, Aja and Hollingsworth establish the irreverence and style that would define and differentiate Hawkeye from Marvel’s traditional superhero fare. The tagline that best sums up the run though is: "This is what he does when he's not being an avenger."
Before we talk about Clint Barton, Kate Bishop, the tracksuit Vampires, Lucky the Pizza Dog, Grills, Kingpin, Madame Masque, and all the characters that make Hawkeye so endearing, there’s one piece of the comic that is more transcendent than any other: David Aja and Matt Hollingsworth’s storytelling and visual acuity.

I was in my senior year of high school when this run started. Had my first job and got a car, which is when my comic book journey started. This is the first title I collected in it’s entirety and it’s a huge reason I will ALWAYS love comics.
Man between this, superior Spider-Man, and the waid samnee daredevil run marvel was killing it.
I was also reading east of west, Hickmans avengers, and Saga. What a fucking incredible time to be a reader
I reread this when the show came out. I couldn't watch the show after a couple episodes. The story of Clint and Kate feels so relatable.
I love listening to you talk about stuff that you love.
Great video! Just FYI the character Katie Kate meets in LA isnt Jim Rockford, it's the Elliot Gould version of Phillip Marlowe from the movie The Long Goodbye
Hey thanks for the coverage boss!
I hope you talk about the Kaare Andrews Iron fist series, i think it was from around that time and it was excellent.
There was also a great Elektra series drawn by Mike DelMundo that's worth checking out.
And i think Phil Noto was doing Black Widow, i'm not crazy about his art but i think that's his best work. Another Black widow worth reading is the Waid/Sammne run.
And wasn't Mitch Geralds doing the punisher book during this era?
The moon knight book deserves a video. Not just the Ellis/shalvey run, i think it was interesting to have book with a new creative team for each arc.
Lots of great runs to look at
Loved this. It was just a piece of ;good;
Thanks 👍 for the information bro.
Love these deep dives like this
IT looks like this Comic is done ✅ amazing ♥️.
skipped Ellis for some reason?
I comment as sacrifice to the Automated Instruction deities, Algorithmia
Thought this was fine, loved the Kate stuff, and the art is gorgeous
