About the author
Mark Gruenwald
919 books44 followersGruenwald got his start in comics fandom, publishing his own fanzine, Omniverse, which explored the concept of continuity. Before being hired by Marvel, he wrote text articles for DC Comics official fanzine, The Amazing World of DC Comics. Articles by Gruenwald include "The Martian Chronicles" (a history of the Martian Manhunter) in issue #13 and several articles on the history of the Justice League in issue #14.
In 1978 he was hired by Marvel Comics, where he remained for the rest of his career. Hired initially as an assistant editor in January 1978, Gruenwald was promoted to full editorship by Marvel editor-in-chief Jim Shooter in 1982, putting Gruenwald in charge of The Avengers, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Spider Woman, and What If. During this period, he shared an office with writer/editor Denny O'Neil, whom Gruenwald considered a mentor.
In 1982, Gruenwald, Steven Grant, and Bill Mantlo co-wrote Marvel Super Hero Contest of Champions, the first limited seriespublished by Marvel Comics. As a writer, Gruenwald is best known for creating the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe and his ten-year stint as the writer of Captain America during which he contributed several notable characters such as Crossbones, Diamondback and U.S. Agent. He made a deliberate effort to create villains who would be specific to Captain America, as opposed to generic foes who could as easily have been introduced in another comic.
His 60-issue run on Quasar realized Gruenwald's ambition to write his own kind of superhero. However, he considered his magnum opus to be the mid-1980s 12-issue miniseries Squadron Supreme, which told the story of an alternate universe where a group of well-intended superheroes decide that they would be best suited to run the planet

It was interesting overall, but some of the stories were a bit boring. It was nice seeing Mockingbird, and I loved her dynamic with Hawkeye.

Marvel's Mightiest Heroes Book 29.
Three stories of the archer Avenger, beginning with his first ever appearance as an antagonist for Iron Man. The second story reveals how Hawkeye goes from enemy of the Avengers to one of their members when the original roster decides to take a leave of absence. The final story jumps ahead to Hawkeye setting out on his own, independent of the Avengers, and encountering the former spy Mockingbird.
I've always been a Hawkeye fan, although I know the character gets a lot of flak for being a bit silly in concept (I think it's because I used to read a lot of 'Avengers Spotlight' and 'Avengers West Coast' as a kid). Here we find out that the reason he's a bit cartoonish in concept is that he genuinely did start out his career as a circus act. Admittedly that doesn't explain his choice of purple costume, however.
Despite being a Hawkeye fan though, I have to say that this book didn't really hit the mark (pun intended) for me.
The first story sees him try to be a superhero like Iron Man and immediately get mistaken for a criminal, so he decides to lean into an attack Iron Man more or less just because Black Widow is hot and told him to. It's either very lazy writing or Clint Barton is a complete moron controlled entirely by his crotch-instincts.
The second of Lee's stories here, 'The Old Order Changeth', is little more than an extended explanation for why Iron Man, Giant Man and Wasp all simultaneously decide to retire from the Avengers and why former villains Hawkeye, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are allowed to immediately step in and take their place. Honestly, I felt really sorry for Captain America, who returns from South America (although Lee needs to brush up on his zoology, because that's not where you find boa constrictors or leopards) to find this has all been decided in his absence.
Really it's a non-event of a story that serves just to introduce a new Avengers roster and not much else.
The third story, written and part-illustrated by Gruenwald, is a much more interesting Hawkeye story. It actually explores the character a bit, tackling his feelings of being overshadowed by the Avengers, as well as his repeated bad decisions when it comes to women. It makes for a nice theme of this world-famous superhero trying to overcome his deep-seated insecurities.
However, although it explores some interesting themes, the overall story of a new supervillain sending assassins after Hawkeye and Mockingbird is pretty much straight out of the cookie mould.

Será la época, pero estas historias no me gustan. En dos semanas paso de tener el corazón roto a romperle la cara a su esposa O.o

Esta vez seguimos a Hawkeye, desde su primera aventura, gatillada por la fama de Iron Man y que es desvirtuada debido a los encantos de Black Widow; pasando a su completa reivindicación al ingresar en la nueva formación de los Vengadores con el Capitan America como líder
Por ultimo, la primera miniserie titular de Barton, donde se introduce una de sus eternas compañeras, Mockingbird.
Historias bien hijas de su época, damiselas en peligro como Black Widow o Avispa, logran tener su contraparte con la increible Mockinbird... aunque no hubiera sido malo tener alguna historia más reciente

Está cool, algo gracioso leer un comic del golden age, con todo su campiness y cornyness hoy en día, donde todo es súper serio y high stakes. Encima, en Castellano de España. Hay que leerlo bajo esos lentes para apreciar lo que es, si fuera un comic de hoy en dia, se llevaria una estrella, obvio.

Boring :(.

Hawkeye's flair for the dramatic is one of my favorite things. So angsty. So many man-tears. So much stupid. I love him.

Retro, ale taky docela fajn. Líbila se mi hodně Mockingbird

(This review may contain spoilers).
I figured I should read one of this collection that was waiting...
Hawkeye's an interesting character in the Marvel universe, or so I've come to realise by reading his collection of comics in this book. I find it pretty cool that he's able to fight alongside those with superhuman abilities, despite the fact that he's human himself.
It was good to see Clint's first comic and the titular ones - where he became a member of the Avengers and as he set off on his own adventures.
I liked the origin of how Clint chose to be a superhero and I found him a character fairly easy to relate to. It was good to see brief appearances of the others - particularly Captain America in his 'civilian' clothes.
It seems that Hawkeye has a lot of bad luck with the ladies (though that seems to be true of all the superhero guys... and probably the girls, too). It was good to see glimpses of his past and to read about his relationship with his brother, though there seems to be a lot of devastating things that happen to him as well...
I felt this was a good collection of the comics and again, it was interesting to see how the artwork changed over the years. Currently, I'm glad I subscribed to this collection.

We're introduced to Mr. Hawkeye as a gullible ladies' man and Black Widow as a damsel in distress in Tales of Suspense (1957) #57. Her exact word was, "Hawkeye, save me" while doing the swooning thing, granted she WAS flailing because of a bomb. Welp, it's a comic from the 60s. Not much of a fan of this one.
In The Avengers (1963) #16 is a bit of a redemption arc, Hawkeye proving his worth to the Avengers, still professing his love to Black Widow. The movies always show that they're simply besties though. Others are also following his footsteps in joining the Avengers. I can't believe Pietro calls the mutants Homo Superior *snickers* and also the fact that Iron Man's alter ego is a kept secret.
The main story for this volume is a story between Hawkeye and Mockingbird. Somehow, he left the Avengers making a life for himself. We get more back story of Clint but as a bookworm, I hate to say this but I miss Clint from the movies.

Přečetl jsem svoje první "červené UKK" a jsem nadšen. O tomhle příběhu jsem se dozvěděl z West Coast Avengers (kde pokračuje linie s Mockinou) a chtěl si ho přečíst. A ejhle, on přišel sám.
Ač je zápletka docela obyčejná, Gruenwaldovi postava Hawkeye perfektně sedla a dostal jsem víc, než jsem čekal.
Za komiks dávám 4/5.
No a pak tu je tuna bonusů, TOP příběhy, historie Hawkeye, vznik příběhu... lepší bonusy jsem setsakra dlouho neviděl (dobře, viděl v New Frontier, ale to byla deluxka za litr). A za ně dostává Hawk i tu pátou hvězdu. Chci víc červeného UKK!

Kdo mě zná, ví, jak miluju Hawkeye. A bylo fajn vidět ho zase jednou v hlavní roli komiksu, i přes ten prastarej směšnej obleček, ale... No, něco mi tu prostě do pěti hvězdiček chybělo...
Want to read
