Hawkeye #001 by Jeff Lemire & Ramón Perez

Following the conclusion of Matt Fraction and David Aja’s acclaimed run, Marvel relaunches the Hawkeye Ongoing with a new creative team— Jeff Lemire, of Green Arrrow-fame, and Ramón Perez, who has worked on John Carter and other Marvel books.

About the series, Lemire says: “One thing that I was really interested in is Hawkeye’s childhood and Barney’s childhood in the circus. And Matt Fraction did some really beautiful scenes with Clint and Barney as kids that really touched me. And I really wanted to keep going with that and experimenting with it so the first arc is split pretty evenly between Clint and Kate in the present and Barney and Clint in the past as kids in the circus. We’re looking at how the things that they did in the past are affecting Clint and Kate in the present. It’s this cause and effect thing. It’s really exploring Hawkeye from two different angles. We have Clint and Barney as kids and what’s that means to them as Hawkeye is just forming and then we have Kate and Clint now, and what Hawkeye is at the moment. This really allows Ramón to visually play with the past and present and it’s something that I’ve done a lot in the past too. A lot of my indie books like “Essex County” and “The Underwater Welder” really juxtapose past and present and in a lot of ways, this book feels really close to those for me. Exploring childhood and things like that.”

Clint and Kate’s next series of adventures launches in March 2015. 

This makes me hopeful for the new run, rather than just mourning the closing run.

New pet project of mine: faux comic book covers.
Still Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. themed because… fandom.

Gouache, ink, pencil, gel on Canson fine art board.

Phil is my fav.
I want to hug him and squeeze him and keep him for ever and ever.

Once again I disguised Kate Bishop fanart as fine art and put it in a serious art event.  People asked me what it meant – ‘Oh, you know, arrows,’ I said. ‘It’s a metaphor. Could have just as easily put an apple in her hand and it woulda been a different metaphor, but I rather liked arrows.’

Not even one person said ‘That is Hawkeye and you are being Miss Smarty-Artist Ass right now’ but I would have been delighted if they had.

This is acrylic on paper on panel, if you’re curious.  It’s 24” x 24” (60x60cm) – the blue is iridescent pigment and it covers the arrows as well, but I couldn’t get it to photograph any more than this.

Isn’t it interesting that the three main new villains of the Axis arc appear to be Luke Cage, Sam Wilson, and Wanda Maximoff?  

Gosh, what a strange coincidence, two African-American men and a Jewish-Romani immigrant woman. And isn’t it odd how the main heroes fighting against them are predominantly white men like Steve Rogers, Peter Parker, whoever the fuck is Nova now, and Wade Wilson?

How terribly interesting.

And by interesting, I still mean super racist!
