This episode covers Hawkeye by Matt Fraction and David Aja. It’s part one of two, and is equivalent to either the trade paperbacks Hawkeye: My Life Is a Weapon and Hawkeye: Little Hits, or else the first half of Hawkeye: The Saga of Barton and Bishop. It’s also by Matt Hollingsworth, Javier Pulido, Francesco Francavilla, Steve Lieber, Alan Davis, and Jesse Hamm. Confused yet? So are we. Honestly JD, Jeff, and Jam are going to spend the first half of this episode airing our grievances about the completely opaque way that Marvel collects its trades. But eventually we get to talk about this really interesting book, how it does a lot of interesting things with the superhero genre and with these characters in particular, and how even in the golden age of graphic novels, there are “mainstream” trades worth waiting for. Also, apologies to Francesco Francavilla and Javier Pulido, we had you completely mixed up for like… most of this episode.
