Okay so I feel the need to make a little Hawkeye ramble. Namely, why I love him so much, and the moment it clicked how much I truly identified with him.
Feel free to not read this, it’s really just for my own benefit.
That scene and that whole issue are my favourites, too. I’ve liked most of the stuff I’ve read so far – Blindspot was particularly useful as prequel info for Fraction’s Hawkeye, and I’ve only once actively disliked him. (It was in Secret Avengers, from back when I think Remender was writing it, and he wrote Clint as being an incompetent, grade A+ dick to everyone.)
Will look for Hawkeye and Mockingbird. Anything else you think I should add to the reading list, hint hint?
