Confession: I am sitting here laughing so hard at my own fucking nonsense that I am gonna have to compose myself before writing a rambly artist note.

Will you even look at this.

Okay, so: This was a gag gift, you know it was a gag gift, obviously a very well-thought out one that took some planning, but the person who gave it was apparently unaware that while you can take the man out of Iowa, you cannot take the Iowa out of the man.  Even if you manage to surgically excise every trace of Midwest, you’d STILL have someone who used to wear a purple miniskirt to work.

Last statement here is that if you’re new enough to Hawkeye that you don’t recognise the GOSH I LOVE ARROWS thing, I am going to give you the pleasure of Googe-Image-Searching it yourself.  Enjoy!  You’ve picked the right Avenger to love, you really have.

“Starting to root for this guy” as in “They sent me to kill her and I made another call” kind of root for this guy? Did he and Coulson make a deal after the whole whoops-Black-Widow-is-now-an-asset-sorry-Coulson deal where Coulson made Hawkeye promise to tell him when he started rooting for the person he was supposed to shoot in the head? How many times has this been a problem for Hawkeye? Is he, like, known in SHIELD for being the agent who might adopt the target you sent him to kill?

I firmly believe that this is what happened with him and Natasha. Like, Fury gives Clint the order, the next thing he knows Barton’s dragging Natasha in being like BOSS CAN I PLEASE KEEP HER I PROMISE TO CLEAN UP ANY BODY PARTS SHE LEAVES LYING AROUND PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEEEEEASE

You do. You really do. I just got the trade paperbacks and have read them each six times each at least. 

There is an entire issue from the dog’s point of view. I shit you not. It’s brilliant. And the bit right after that last part— he’s hopping on one foot half-dressed to get in the car in a great hurry (Katie is the getaway driver and she’s a fucking amazing driver for the record, as long as it has wheels— she doesn’t do boats) and he gets in there and she just sits there, takes her sunglasses off to stare at his shirtlessness, and says “Really? Really? With the abs and the—” and he flips his shit because the bad guys are abducting the damsel in distress and she’s sitting there ogling him.

Thank you, Kate Barton, for expressing just what is so great about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in comic-book form.

Okay. So I really would like to give Hawkeye a try. But I’m in China for the duration and can’t just nip off to my local comic book shop. What’s a girl to do? Where’s a girl to start? 

Comixology has them!  You want the 17 issues written by Matt Fraction. The art in the post is all from his run with David Aja and it is brilliant! If you have a US bank card they take it and you’ll have them digitally. Direct link to the series in question.

6/18 | Happy Birthday, Clint Barton 

(50th Anniversary of his first appearance in Tales of Suspense #57 + Mark Gruenwald’s birthday + His birthday as given by Matt Fraction)

The ‘Hawkeye’ series has been delayed due to unforeseen circumstances in the lives of the creative team, but issue #19 is being worked on now. Brevoort promised that news would be forthcoming soon about the book’s return. He encouraged fans upset about it not to yell at him on Tumblr, with a smile.

Life happens, team hawkguy. S’okay.  We’ll wait.

“Any word on Barton?”

“He was one of the agents defending the Treehouse, but it’s likely he was the only one who wasn’t captured to get out alive after HYDRA took over.”

“Are you sure?”

“Well, it was either him or security footage caught some other guy with a bow and arrow as his M.O. escaping the base.”

“Sounds like Hawkeye to me.”

“He’s not calling himself Hawkeye anymore, probably to keep the government off his back. Last I heard, he went underground and got himself a new codename.”

"A new codename?”

“Ronin.”
