Hawkeye, Volume 5: All-New Hawkeye by Jeff Lemire, Joe Sabino, Ian Herring, Ramón Pérez

4.0

I like how this series is slowly revealing more and more of Clint’s past as we progress.

Most people’s lives are a series of millions of messy little moments strung together adding up to a messy little life.

Clint’s life, as usual, is a whirlwind and full of unexpected chaos. The trio of Weapon Children in this volume are a fascinating addition to that image. Fighting for what is viewed as the right thing to do versus the only viable option - letting them go. The battle between youthful hope and matured practical expectations between Kate and Clint.

The view into Clint’s time with the circus was really well executed. Having it in a different coloring style (more water color in essence) helped keep both trains of thought neatly separated. I never found it confusing, which is a huge plus. Grim reality that every situation will have its shitty aspects, especially them as kids.

Definitely interesting! I’m excited to see where this new plot segment with the kids goes, especially with a time skip to an even older Clint on the horizon.
