First Look: HAWKEYE #2

Have you had a chance to read HAWKEYE #1 yet? It was a great start to a new series. You can check out the review for the first issue here. And it looks like we're not the only one that loved it. Marvel has released a preview for the second issue already. Fan-favorite character, Kate Bishop is appearing. Nothing more needs to be said. It's going to be great.

Marvel is proud to present your first look at Hawkeye #2, brought to you by the superstar creative team of Matt Fraction and David Aja! The Arrowed Avenger is back on his feet and hitting the Marvel Universe to prove once and for all that he’s worthy of the title of Avenger! But he won’t be going it alone, as fellow archer hero Kate Bishop fights by his side!
The critics have spoken, Hawkeye is a hit!

If the issue yesterday wasn't enough, on Twitter there was a lot of talk about #PizzaDog. We also saw some tweets from @LandlordBro. There's something on Twitter for everyone.

i like it

Bro, read this book or I keel you, bro.

I wonder if he kept the dogs name Arrow. which i thought that was very funny and cliched that they did at the end.

I thought it was a wonderful ending. Hilarious and touching.

The first issue was excellent. I am way to excited for the 2nd. I almost wish this was bi-weekly like the rest of Fractions main books.

I said it once and ill say it again. Fraction is great at writing a single character story, not team books. the first issue is fantastic and hope they keep him on for at least 12 issues before they decide to change up the writers again. and keep the artist. it goes great with fractions writing.

just as long as there aren't anymore villains who keep repeating the same stupid shit.

Kate Bishop okay okay ill go buy #1 if Kate is in #2

Couldnt agree more! Except for Thor, that book is pretty bad. I really wanted the Defenders to be good, because I love a lot of the characters. But I couldnt stay on for more than a few issues.

Terrible art. Just terrible

So, how long before Hawkeye nails the kid.

@TheAnnihilator: I'm not even joking.

this title was a give it a try book for me and now I can't wait to read the next one.

Man I'm loving the story but I'm not a fan of this kind of art.

Bro, read this book or I keel you, bro.

@xanimosity You should give defenders another chance, I think it's great

I really dug the first issue, not sold on the art but loved the issue non the less. I will be picking this up.

Clint Barton is Marvel's slut. Seriously, if it is female and it walks, Clint will eventually bang it. And it isn't even cool. It is bloody annoying.

I'm most looking forward to Marvel trying to defend this very likely upcoming case of one of their heroes committing paedophilia with similar excuses to that which an actual paedophile would use in court.

As another point of interest, SMG's like those, the bullets would not go too deep in the water. I think 3 or 4 feet under water and you would be safe from the bullets. they lose all momentum. might hurt your ear drums though.

Looks good.Still haven't read #1 though.

This makes me puke invisible rainbows. Is that normal?

@X35: If Kate Bishop got stuck in the future for 3 years and then when Clint Barton comes to the future to bring her back that's when he'll nail her. After that Matt Fraction will get booed for plagiarism.

So which monker name will Kate adopt? Hawkbird? Arrow? Knightress?

Good writing, the art is bad on the eyes though.

This looks like it's going to shape up into my new favorite Marvel book. Perfect combination of character, writing, and art. I absolutely love how it's more grit than slick.
