5.0

One of the best books of the year. Fraction takes Hawkeye, removes him from the high stakes world of the Avengers, and works on a sort of day in the life theme with Clint. Hawkeye is always going to be a bit of a silly character (I do love the purple tunic), but Fraction makes that work here, exploring that silliness even while dropping Clint into a much more realistic setting. So many aspects of Clint's character are explored here, in stories that break superhero comic book storytelling conventions.

It's a superhero book that reads like it isn't, and it's fucking fantastic.

Plus, Kate Bishop. You can't go wrong with Katie.
