6/20/2023 0 Comments Matt fraction hawkeye volumes![]() ![]() Hawkeye #6 is available now in single-issue form or as part of the collection Hawkeye Volume 2: Little Hits. ![]() Hawkguy is the gift that keeps on giving. It's nothing you expected and everything you wanted. It's a character piece, a quiet assurance for a Christmas night. ![]() What Hawkeye is is a human story with spurts of superhuman potential. I know that plenty of superhero fans out there want cosmic action, broad visual storytelling, stakes that shake the universe and alter heroes forever. The small panels also really set us up for the big, quiet, expansive moments - there's a beat where Clint stands his ground that absolutely makes the book, and that's all based on Aja's salesmanship. Every page winds up having a method to the layout madness, like the DVR instructions lining the side of one sequence - there's a real sense of design at play here, and it adds a deliberateness that you don't really see anywhere else. Tons of small square panels dot the page, but surprisingly that doesn't muddy the emotions behind his David Mazzuchelli-style faces. ![]() What an interesting artist - Aja really flies in the face of widescreen storytelling, instead favoring almost the opposite approach.
