Hawkeye, Vol. 5: All-New Hawkeye
by Jeff Lemire
Volume 5 functions as an experimental continuation of the Hawkeye series following Matt Fraction and David Aja’s magnificent (albeit infuriatingly slowly-released) run. Whereas Fraction and Aja focused on the humor and dynamic between Clint and Kate, Lemire and Pérez integrate the characters’ backstories via haunting, beautifully-illustrated flashbacks.
All-New Hawkeye features two major plotlines: the childhood experiences of Clint and his brother Barney, and Clint and Kate’s present-day rescue of three disfigured, powered children from a Hydra base. Differentiated by their art, the two stories intertwine to create a narrative in which the Hawkeyes’ personal justifications for their actions are laid out for the reader in the form of their individual histories.
In general, though, I found this volume to be a satisfying continuation of the Hawkeye story. To dedicated Hawkeye fans: try Lemire’s run. To new Hawkeye readers: start with Fraction’s run. It’s incredible.
