Hawkeye #6 *Spoilers*

[tonythelion]

I just read this.
Such a fantastic book. Over Christmas, I am going to dig the past issues from my box and read them all again. Wasn't sold on the artwork in issue 1 when I first read it. But it's grown on me so much.

[ImmortalIronFist]

Pretty good issue. Though it seems Kate saves the day once again.

She's in it for like one page, and all she does is tell him to stop being an idiot.

That's what I meant, saves the day.

But yeah, I liked this issue.

It's six days in the life of Hawkguy in the run up to Christmas. Spider-man and Wolverine persuade him to have a week off to watch Dog Cops.

13th-19th. Actually, the title was wrong it was 7 days; it was 6 nights as per cover.

I love that he calls Tony Stark to hook up his DVR. That's such a Hawkguy thing to do.

Agreed.

Bro, this issue was censored by SW awesome!

What did that mean on the Letters Page?

"Walked into a door. That uh, proceeded to beat the hell out of me."

Good line!

I think this would be a perfect book for someone who just knows the character from the movie, BTW. It's very rare to see a comic that is this disconnected from the current line or convoluted history. Aside from the brief reference to Ronin in the second issue I think you could pick this up without needing to know much about the Marvel U.

If Clint quits as SA leader at the end of that title then this title would be 100% better. Taking a week off was problematic.

While reading this issue, one of the things that struck me is how much unused space there is on some of the pages. Even though Aja puts more panels and content into his books than almost any other artist, he still has room to leave spots blank on the page, and the result is absolutely gorgeous.

Exemplary issue layouts.

A futzing great issue.

Kudos if Fraction came up with that comical word.

I don't think anything happened. I thought the implication was that he was going to stay and stand his ground. whatever repercussions we coming from that are still coming.

That's how I took it. But it was unreasonably presented. Or even tweaking of one panel: after he pointed the finger gun - the tracksuit goon should have had fear/shock look on his face before we saw the tailgate lights bootin' it away with a screeching sound f/x. Cue the splash page for reinforcement he was standig his ground - waiting for reprisal by Breathing Mask Man.

Kate's awesome (as always).

Agreed.

I look forward to Dog Cops being referenced in other Marvel comics.

I don't have cable so I don't even know how 'real' this show is and even I want more other titles to reference it now! Fun idea.

Didn't love this issue but it was a nice little read. Hawkeye has an awesome personal life.

Yeah, the whole time jumping thing really ruined it for me. I read the pages in daily order and it was 100% better.

[the goddamn batman]

your adjusted panel is much worse, to be honest.

they told Clint to beat it, or they'd come after him. dude was jus waiting to see if Clint was still around. Clint came to show him that he was, that he was going to protect the building and it's inhabitants. tracksuit dracula made the fun finger to let Clint know that it was on.

I don't know why anyone had trouble understanding that. I thought it was pretty clear.

[Deus ex Chris]

The only thing wrong with this issue was not enough KATE! jk Otherwise, it was great!

If I was forced to find a complaint, this would be it. Six issues in and this is already one of the best books Marvel has ever published. Keep it up, bros.

Pretty good issue. Though it seems Kate saves the day once again.

Agreed. Fraction's done good service to Kate Bishop fans. She's SO AWESOME in this (and every issue).

No, it doesn't. If the issue was written in order, the climax of Clint making his decision to stand his ground with a beautifully illustrated splash page would be in the middle of the story with the scenes with Tony Stark and the kids coming afterwards. The buildup would be anticlimactic. Two of Hawkeye's awesome lines (the one ending the Tony StarK scene where he makes a parallelism about solving tangled wires and solving the mess you created, and the final line about staying home) would not have emotional resonance if the story was told in chronological order.

I agree, and there are panels and scenes that play along with how the issue isn't written chronologically. But, and I won't lie, I did go back and read it again chronologically to get a better understanding of the story. I don't think there's anything wrong with that though.

[Orbytal]

Issue was so futzing good I had to update my avatar

[Urban Commando]

Perfect issue. I also love the way issue #1 dealt with sweltering heat, and issue #6 deals with snow. Both perfect for when the books actually came out!

[DebkoX]

Screw it, I'm getting this.

[Kieran_Frost]

Screw it, I'm getting this.

YEY!!! Enjoy!

*Mumble Grumble*
Stupid Kate.

If you moaning about Kate is your new thing, I feel obligated to inform you that it got old weeks ago.
