Where would you recommend starting to get into Hawkeye comics?

ahhh okay so I am going to give you the advice that Emily gave to me!

if you’re interested in the modern era I would start with the Blindspot limited run (you can buy it in trade here) and then go into Fraction’s Hawkeye book (there are two trades out so far ‘My Life as a Weapon’ and ’Little Hits’ and the third ’L.A. Woman’ will be out in August or if you want to get the individual issues they’re up to 18 now and there’s an annual that comes between 11 and 12).

If you love it, which you should, I highly recommend you read the Ronin arc (which was way too short) which is the arc after Clint comes back to life (basically Wanda accidentally kills him then he’s brought back for House of M and then after House of M ends up alive again because comics but he’s not comfortable being Hawkeye anymore).

That consists of in order (and sorry I don’t have links to where you can buy individual issues though I’m sure you can find stuff online if you google around):

Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America

The New Avengers (26)

The New Avengers (30)

Secret Invasion (02)

New Avengers: The Reunion (Suspicion) from the Dark Reign book

New Avengers: The Reunion (01-03)

Dark Reign: The List Avengers (01)

New Avengers Annual (03)

And also Young Avengers Presents: Hawkeye but I’ll get to that in a second

I also recommend the two shortlived series ‘Hawkeye & Mockingbird: Ghosts’ and ’Widowmaker’ which is Hawkeye, Mockingbird and Black Widow. Those are all set in between the Ronin arc and Blindspot and are super great.

Finally, if you read Hawkeye and love Kate Bishop, which you will because she’s perfect, you should read the Young Avengers series. That is, in order:

Young Avengers Volume 1

Young Avengers Volume 2: Family Matters

Civil War: Young Avengers and Runaways

Young Avengers Presents

Secret Invasion: Runaways/Young Avengers

Dark Reign: Young Avengers

Avengers: The Children’s Crusade

Gillen & Mckelvie’s Young Avengers (Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3)

I know that’s a lot of information but I think that’s a pretty good start. Clint’s in some other books as well. He was in quite a few issues of Kelly Sue’s Avengers Assemble, and I know he’s in Secret Avengers though I’ve heard some messed up shit about the old book, the new one’s okay so far. I can give you Emily’s recs for all the important times he interacts with Bucky as well because Clint/Bucky is great. Comics are inconsistent at times because so much of the character depends on who’s writing them, but most of the list I’ve given you I really enjoyed, so.

I hope that was helpful and not scary!

_{Hawkeye covers by David Aja}

What it was going to be, we were trying to complicate the relationship between Cap and his S.H.I.E.L.D agent friends,” Joe Russo told Screenrant. “If Hawkeye got a call from S.H.I.E.L.D saying Captain America is a fugitive, would he listen to that call or not listen to that call? That sequence actually was heartbreaking for us to cut it. I think it ultimately might have been a conflict with Renner’s schedule. But there was a great sequence where Hawkeye was chasing Cap through Washington D.C. there was an awesome sequence where they confronted each other in a ravine on the outskirts of D.C. and Hawkeye was shooting a series of arrows closing in on Cap, Cap closing in on him. And then Cap took him down and he realized for the first time that Hawkeye was trying to trick S.H.I.E.L.D, where he whispered something into Cap’s ear that Cap had a tracker on his suit and to punch Hawkeye to make it look real, because there was a Quinjet hovering above where they were watching the feedback back at S.H.I.E.L.D.

Captain America: the Winter Soldier co-director Joe Russo on Hawkeye’s scripted cameo, which was cut from the film due to scheduling conflicts.

It’s a shame this scene was cut from the film, as it would’ve added a nice layer to Renner’s Hawkeye that we haven’t explicitly seen before— namely, that he prioritizes personal loyalties over institutionalized rules. That’s a core part of 616 Clint’s character, and an aspect I’d love to see cinematic Hawkeye share with him.
