Hawkeye Omnibus
by Jesse Hamm, Steve Lieber, Annie Wu, David Aja, Javier Pulido, Alan Davis, Francesco Francavilla, Matt Fraction
Hawkeye was an amazing graphic novel. I adore the characterization, the plot, the art style.
The story follows Clint Barton, Avenger, Sharpshooter. He takes on the role of defender of an apartment complex in Bed Stuy, New York after a tracksuit mafia targets it for demolition. This puts Clint on the kill list of the powers that be, but despite the consistent threat to his life by Ivan and the rest of the tracksuit mafia Clint defends the apartment at all costs.
Clint Barton is an excellent character in this omnibus. Unlike our perception of other Avengers Clint Barton is a mess. We see his self destructive nature consistently harm his relationships with the people closest to him.
He’s self destructive, reckless and has a heavy dose of self loathing. He makes bad choices and pushes out the people closest to him when he should be reaching out for help. But despite this laundry list of flaws, and maybe even because fit Clint is an extremely compelling Hawkeye. He has legitimate flaws he need to work through throughout the comic. He also has a lot of admirable traits demonstrated the novel. Clint is one of the most resilient characters I’ve read about. He takes serious knocks throughout the novel but no matter how hard the bad guys punch he gets up swinging.
Kate Bishop our secondary protagonist in this volume goes through an interesting character arc throughout the omnibus. She leaves New York to go on a journey of self discovery in LA. There she becomes private detective and unravels a conspiracy makes some enemies and also gets a target put on her back. Unlike Clint, Kate is newer to the game of superheating and that leads her to a really fun solo missions. She makes rookie mistakes that lead to really interesting platlines. And its fun to be instantly reminded that the cool calm and collected badass your reading about is still kid.
This comic is imbibed with my kind of humor. Clint and Kate are both extremely sarcastic. I’m a girl who loves a good one-liner and this graphic novel is filled with them. But both of them are also dorks and the humorous shenanigans they get into throughout the story is extremely entertaining.Its hard to describe why I find this comic HILARIOUS but just take my word for it, it’s funny.
I adored the art style of this comic. It’s very rough around the edges with thick bold lines. There’s something about the rough look of the style that brings so much charm and character to the story. It matches the run down vibes of Clint’s life excellently. The color pallet is also excellent. Obviously as a Hawkeye novel it leans heavily into the purple as Clint and Kates signature colors and they set a nice cool tone to the story. But the panel that wowed me were the ones that contrasted the strong purple vibe. The major action scenes used strong reds and oranges the fiery nature of those sense made me so tense because it contrasted so strongly with the purples of the majority of the book. I really have to commend.
