To quote Clint Barton, "Okay...this looks bad." I mean, a mainstream comic book starring that Jeremy Renner, Robin Hood-y guy from Disney's The Avengers? Open the book though, and you'll be immediately struck by artist David Aja's retro figures and modern, jazzy framing. Read the text and enjoy Fraction's flair for screwball repartee and adept genre-hopping. It doesn't hurt that Hawkeye is a Bed-Stuy resident, nor does it hurt, in a time where JLA has Wonder Woman binging on ice cream and making out with Superman, that it features one of the stronger, three-dimensional women in comics, the younger Hawkeye, Kate Bishop.
