I have enjoyed Matt Fraction’s Hawkeye series tremendously. I enjoy Fraction’s Clint Barton much more than the Barton in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Volume 3, though, focuses on the other Hawkeye, Kate Bishop. Kate is 21 and from a wealthy family. She may be young and brash, but she’s a great Hawkeye, especially when paired with Clint Barton.

But with that disclaimer out of the way, this was a good last volume. The first […]

I promise, that will make more sense once you read the comics.) I don’t remember when I started hearing about Fraction and Aja’s Hawkeye, since they started a few years ago. It might have been online, it might have been my like-minded friend who’s always telling me about what she’s reading. All I knew is that […]
