Praise for Hawkeye: My Life As A Weapon ""The premise, about a superhero on his off days, is just exactly the superhero story I would want to tell as a writer. I was so drawn to it. I was so drawn to the tiny moments, the little human moments and also the art. I spend a lot of time rightfully praising Matt Fraction, but [artist] David Aja’s style in this comics, and the colors [from] Matt Hollingsworth, it’s distinct and graphically terrific."" - Jonathan Igla, head writer and executive producer of the Disney+ series Hawkeye and former writer on Mad Men “A smart, stylish high-water mark for mainstream comics.” — WIRED “The new comic book about the heroic archer/super spy has been seen as one of the best coming out of Marvel lately, and it is Fraction’s fresh take on Clint Barton and his downtime away from the Avengers that draws readers.” — Los Angeles Times Hero Complex “Spider-Man has long been considered Marvel’s super-hero everyman, but Hawkeye has stolen that title with this series.” — The A.V. Club “Fraction and Aja's Hawkeye had a simple but brilliant premise: This is what the archer is doing when he's not being an Avenger.” — Christian Holub, Entertainment Weekly “Hawkeye is one of the best super-hero books on the market.” –– Mike Cecchini, Den of Geek
