Hawkeye, Vol. 1: My Life as a Weapon
by Matt Fraction
A pizza dog, the Russian Tracksuit Mafia, snarky humor, solid characters, surprisingly good art style, and another dose of sass have never made the story of what an Avenger does in his downtime more enjoyable to read. I think what I enjoyed most, besides laughing my guts out, was how real the Hawkeyes are. If I was a superhero, I'd be like them in my downtime too: futzing around the house, sassing out friends, swapping gear, going to neighborhood BBQs, and watching Dog Cops. The comic is really refreshing and out of the ordinary, and I love the color purple just a little bit more.
As a bonus, there's body, race, and gender diversity! People come in all shapes and sizes, and there are some references to Hawkeye's hearing impairment. It's not explicitly discussed, but he does ask characters to repeat themselves and textually does not hear when others speak quietly. While unfortunately most of the main characters are white, several side characters are PoC. The bonus Young Avengers comic featured a gay, inter-species couple, which provoked a lot of squeeing on its own.
Overall, I highly recommend HAWKEYE to all readers!
