Eisner-Award Winner Francesco Francavilla Joins HAWKEYE in April

Francavilla drawing HAWKEYE? Sounds good to me.

It can be a bummer when you really dig the artist on a great book and then they need to take a break for whatever reason. But sometimes we get to see other truly awesome artists jump in. That's exactly what's happening on HAWKEYE in April.

Matt Fraction has been doing a great job writing Clint Barton's solo series and David Aja's art has helped make it a great package overall. If we're going to have another artist step in, Francesco Francavilla is a great choice. Francavilla will be on issue 10 and possibly 12, according to David Aja.
