years, defined by how difficult he was.\u00a0 He was always giving Captain America a hard time, behaving like a petulant teen in his earliest days as an Avenger.\u00a0 At some point, it must have become apparent that the character needed some work, so in the early 80s, as the miniseries began to take hold as an actual thing, legendary Marvel writer Mark Gruenwald took on the task of helping Clint grow up.\u00a0 He paired him with Mockingbird, and worked to establish the characterization of him that endured up until Matt Fraction and David Aja\u2019s seminal run in the last decade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I remember really liking this series, but I don\u2019t remember a lot about it now.\u00a0 I\u2019m curious to revisit it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m looking forward to reading this, and hope it lives up to my expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take a look at what happened in these books, with some commentary as we go:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/insidepulse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Hawkeye-1.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"467\" \/>Hawkeye is taking his new skycycle for a test drive, deciding it was worth the three months\u2019 salary he paid for it.\u00a0 He is flying around Cross Technological Enterprises, where he is the head of security (I guess he\u2019d quit the Avengers at this point), and spots three men lurking around.\u00a0 He manages to fire three arrows at once that capture them.\u00a0 It turns out, these are the men who built the skycycle, and this was a practice exercise.\u00a0 It\u2019s interrupted when Sheila Danning, who works in public relations at CTE, comes by for her and Hawkeye\u2019s date.\u00a0 He flies her to his home, thinking about how lucky he is to be dating a woman like her, especially after all the female Avengers ignored his advances for years.\u00a0 He takes a shower, and uses that time to bring the reader up to speed on his job, before coming out to embrace Sheila.\u00a0 She asks about his past, so we are given a recap of his origin (orphan, circus, Swordsman, betrayal, more circus, Iron Man, villany, Avenger).\u00a0 Their date is cut short when he receives an emergency call from CTE and heads off to investigate.\u00a0 We see a shadowy female enter a warehouse.\u00a0 Inside, she finds Hawkeye waiting for her, and they fight for a bit.\u00a0 The woman gets him on his back and holds her battle staves to his neck.\u00a0 She identifies herself as Mockingbird, an ex-SHIELD agent who is looking for some kind of mind control device she believes Cross is building.\u00a0 She fights Clint some more, and they are surrounded by his guards, even though he told them to stay out of it.\u00a0 He hands Mockingbird over to them, and flies home, where Sheila has fallen asleep.\u00a0 He tells her to go home, because he wants to go back to work to investigate.\u00a0 He returns to the warehouse, and finds that things have been moved around.\u00a0 A bunch of his guards approach him, and it\u2019s clear they want to take him into custody.\u00a0 He takes out the lights with an arrow and starts taking down the guards.\u00a0 One of them has Sheila, and threatens to hurt her if Hawkeye doesn\u2019t surrender, so he does.\u00a0 He gets tossed into a large tank, where Mockingbird is also being held.\u00a0 He asks to speak to Sheila, and she reveals that she has been playing him to keep him from noticing what Cross has been up to.\u00a0 Clint doesn\u2019t take this betrayal well, and sits dejectedly as they start pumping toxic sludge into the tank to kill them.\u00a0 Mockingbird has to shake Clint out of his funk, but then he is able to use a rocket arrow tip in his tunic, and a cord he keeps in his boot to snag a ride on the skycycle he calls in over remote control.\u00a0 He and Mockingbird escape the tank.\u00a0 Clint, whose costume is disintegrating, drops Mockingbird off on a water tower, and flies back to Cross to confront Sheila.\u00a0 He\u2019s angry, but says that if she gives him back his bow and quiver, he\u2019ll leave.\u00a0 She gives it to him, and as he leaves, Sheila threatens him.\u00a0 He flies past Mockingbird, who has to jump onto the cycle.\u00a0 Clint cries as he blames Mockingbird for ruining his good set-up.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clint has been standing in an abandoned tunnel under the west side highway, firing arrows at a concrete pillar for forty-two hours, trying to process what happened to him.\u00a0 He\u2019s still in his tattered costume, and finally collapses from exhaustion.\u00a0 A group of five oddly-dressed thugs find him and want to beat on him for a bit before killing him, but Clint comes to, and takes them out.\u00a0 He gets on his skycycle and flies back to his apartment, which CTE has emptied out of all his possessions.\u00a0 Mockingbird turns up there and offers to buy him breakfast.\u00a0 He leaves with her, and we see a figure in black and brown, holding a gun, standing on Clint\u2019s patio.\u00a0 They head to Mockingbird\u2019s loft in Soho, where she introduces herself as Bobbi Morse, and talks him through her past (scientist, SHIELD agent, Ka-zar, Huntress, Mockingbird, shot, now a solo hero).\u00a0 Clint falls asleep, so she takes his costume to mend it and leaves.\u00a0 A little later, the same gunman from before enters the apartment silently, and puts his gun to Clint\u2019s forehead.\u00a0 This wakes him up and he reacts.\u00a0 He notices that the assassin\u2019s gun and bullets make no noise.\u00a0 Clint makes for his bow, but the Silencer stands over him, about to shoot him in the head.\u00a0 Just then, Bobbi returns and attacks the Silencer.\u00a0 He makes a break for it, jumping out the window.\u00a0 Clint examines his gun, and finds it makes noise when he fires it.\u00a0 Bobbi gives him a new costume &#8211; it has full sleeves and is a little different from the classic look.\u00a0 Later, they head out on the skycycle so Clint can go see his one friend at Cross &#8211; Jorge Latham, the guy that built the skycycle.\u00a0 Jorge tells Clint that they were all told he was fired for incompetence, and since then, there is a reward for turning him in if he shows up at work.\u00a0 Jorge doesn\u2019t know anything about the contract that Bobbi was investigating, but speculates that it would be on the 17th floor.\u00a0 Clint suggests that Jorge start working on his resume, since Cross might not be around for long.\u00a0 The two heroes fly to CTE, where Clint uses a Stark Tech device to neutralize the alarms on the windows of the 17th floor.\u00a0 They enter the room where special projects are worked on, and break into some files.\u00a0 The Silencer turns up, and while Bobbi continues to dig, Clint fights him.\u00a0 They end up going out the window, but luckily the skycycle is beneath them.\u00a0 Clint almost falls off, but is able to use the remote control bracelet to save himself.\u00a0 Both men fall off the cycle, but while the Silencer is able to grab the side of a large smokestack, Clint falls into it.\u00a0 He\u2019s able to save himself with some suction cup arrows though, and climbs up.\u00a0 He knocks the Silencer into the smokestack.\u00a0 He flies his skycycle back to the room where Bobbi was, and she joins him, explaining that she got the blueprints and name and address of the client they are investigating.\u00a0 She says she had no trouble, but we see that she took out almost a dozen guards.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/insidepulse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Hawkeye-2.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"467\" \/>Hawkeye and Mockingbird return to Bobbi\u2019s place, parking the sky-mobile (it has a lot of different names) on the roof, not noticing that they are being watched by two oddly-dressed villains.\u00a0 As soon as they enter Bobbi\u2019s place, there is a massive explosion, taking out the whole unit and the roof.\u00a0 Oddball, one of the villains, congratulates Bombshell, the other, who planted the explosives.\u00a0 Bombshell points out that Clint and Bobbi are in the crowd on the street.\u00a0 Clint comments that they noticed footprints in the dust outside Bobbi\u2019s place, so he sent in his \u201cthermite-tipped bomb-sniffing arrow,\u201d which saved them.\u00a0 The villains leave, thinking they\u2019ll have to take a second shot at the heroes later.\u00a0 Clint is a little surprised to see that Bobbi is so upset, despite the fact that she just lost her home and possessions.\u00a0 They go to eat, and return to the wreckage later, after it\u2019s cooled (and apparently the authorities have all left).\u00a0 \u00a0 Clint finds the wreckage of his sky-mobile.\u00a0 Bobbi throws herself at Clint, and he acts a little funny.\u00a0 He finds an 8-ball in the debris, but she claims it&#8217;s not hers.\u00a0 They go to get some cash, but Bobbi only has $97 in the bank for some reason (and I guess Clint has nothing).\u00a0 They go to a sporting goods store so Clint can buy some regular arrows, claiming that his arrowheads will fit on them.\u00a0 He also claims to be down to his last arrow, so I guess it\u2019s lucky that his bomb-sniffing arrow was the second last (also, he\u2019s wearing a brand new costume after his other one was shredded, so I\u2019m not sure where all these modular arrowheads are coming from).\u00a0 They realize they need to preserve their money, so they have to take the subway to get to the address they want to investigate.\u00a0 On the train, they run into Steve Rogers, and Clint reacts oddly to his offer of help (as Captain America, of course).\u00a0 After Bobbi makes a big deal about how good looking Steve is, Clint realizes how much he has resented Cap\u2019s presence.\u00a0 As they walk through the train station, Oddball rolls an 8-ball at Clint, and he gives chase, with Bobbi behind him.\u00a0 They have to make their way through a barrage of Oddball\u2019s weighted billiard balls, and they run past a nun.\u00a0 The nun is actually Bombshell, who shoots Bobbi in the back with an incendiary charge before changing into her usual outfit.\u00a0 Bobbi is not dead or unconscious though, and they fight briefly before Bombshell fires another charge into her face.\u00a0 Clint tries to stop Oddball on a platform, but his shot is off (one of the billiard balls hurt him before).\u00a0 Oddball jumps onto a departing train, and Clint has to grab the back of the train to get onboard.\u00a0 He\u2019s enjoying himself, but when he sees Oddball knock out his hostage, Clint realizes that he\u2019s not right in the head.\u00a0 Oddball gets off the train at the next station, and Clint chases him again.\u00a0 They end up in the rafters above the platforms, and eventually Clint manages to tie Oddball to a beam.\u00a0 He has him drop all of his balls, and is about to interrogate him when a small putty ball hits him in the side of the head.\u00a0 It explodes, and Clint falls unconscious into Bombshell\u2019s arms (I\u2019m not sure how she\u2019d know what station they\u2019d be at).\u00a0 Bombshell explains that their boss called to say he wants both Clint and Bobbi alive now, so they head off, carrying the two unconscious heroes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hawkeye and Mockingbird wake to find themselves trussed up in the basement of a funeral home.\u00a0 They\u2019ve been there for a long time, unconscious, but shortly after waking, the villain who has captured them enters the room, with Oddball and Bombshell.\u00a0 Crossfire introduces himself and launches into a long chunk of exposition, acknowledging that he\u2019s telling them more than they need to know.\u00a0 Crossfire was CIA, but quit to form his own mercenary army.\u00a0 He got shut down by the Thing and Moon Knight before, but now wants to start over, using a device he calls an \u201cundertaker machine\u201d, which will make people go mad and attack one another.\u00a0 His plan is to kill Hawkeye, and leave his body in Central Park.\u00a0 He intends to manipulate things so that once his friends identify his body, they\u2019ll hold his funeral in Crossfire\u2019s funeral home.\u00a0 Once all the heroes have gathered, Crossfire will use his undertaker machine to get the heroes to turn on one another, and kill each other, leaving no opposition to stop Crossfire\u2019s plans.\u00a0 He wants to kill Hawkeye, because he believes he\u2019s the weakest Avenger.\u00a0 Crossfire decides to test his machine on Clint and Bobbi, and has Oddball and Bombshell drag them into a test room.\u00a0 Once they are locked in, they begin to recover from being tied up for so long.\u00a0 They realize they can\u2019t easily escape, so they talk quietly in an attempt to strategize.\u00a0 They kiss just as the machine is turned on, and they start to fight one another against their will.\u00a0 Their fight is pretty brutal, and lasts for a few pages, during which Clint swings Bobbi so she knocks out one of Crossfire\u2019s three cameras.\u00a0 Oddball wonders how long the effects of the machine last after it\u2019s turned off, so Crossfire pauses it for a little bit.\u00a0 Clint and Bobbi recover, and Clint tries to figure out a way to offset the effects of the machine.\u00a0 He finds in his tunic a hypersonic arrowhead (again, he\u2019s not wearing his usual gear, so why would that be there?), and puts it in his mouth, hoping that it will rattle his skull enough to block the undertaker machine, even though he knows it might damage his hearing.\u00a0 As the machine comes back on, he sets off the arrowhead, and manages to maintain self-control.\u00a0 Bobbi attacks him again, and he starts by trying to minimize any damage to her while protecting himself, but realizes he has to put her down if he wants to escape.\u00a0 He throws her into another camera and then collapses.\u00a0 Crossfire figures he must be badly hurt, and turns off the machine.\u00a0 He sends his flunkies to get Clint and Bobbi.\u00a0 As they carry them somewhere, Clint grabs one of Oddball\u2019s balls and knocks him out with it.\u00a0 He tosses it at Bombshell and manages to knock her out too.\u00a0 He rushes through the complex (the basements of funeral homes are more elaborate than I thought), and finds a bunker.\u00a0 Crossfire is inside, but he\u2019s ready for him.\u00a0 Crossfire notches an arrow on Clint\u2019s own bow, and aims at him, but isn\u2019t strong enough to pull back the string.\u00a0 The arrow falls to the floor, and being a concussive arrow, knocks Crossfire out.\u00a0 Clint ties him up, and then heads out to check on Bobbi.\u00a0 He\u2019s worried that the beating he gave her killed her, but she stirs, and they embrace.\u00a0 Later, Bobbi talks to some police as they take the villains away.\u00a0 Clint is unable to hear anything at all, but doesn\u2019t want to get any pity from Bobbi, so when she tries to talk to him, he mutters stuff, and then walks away from her, not realizing that she is telling him that she has feelings for him.\u00a0 She\u2019s stunned.\u00a0 The series ends a week later, after Bobbi chased Clint down and forced him to explain himself.\u00a0 Now, they\u2019ve eloped and are sharing a heart-shaped tub in a little cottage in the Poconos.\u00a0 We learn that Bobbi got Clint a hearing aid, and they feel their future looks bright.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was a pretty solid miniseries.\u00a0 Sure, there are a few things that don\u2019t make a lot of sense, like the way in which Clint\u2019s costume was destroyed, and then replaced with a new one that still had his specialized arrowheads in it, while other specialized arrowheads (like the concussive one that took down Crossfire) were attached to the sporting good store arrows in his quiver.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m also not sure why the connection between Crossfire and Cross Technological Enterprises wasn\u2019t explored more explicitly; later on, we\u2019d see that Crossfire ran that company, and that his last name was Cross.\u00a0 I also found it odd that Clint never followed up with the evil company that fired him, especially if they were working on behalf of Crossfire as a client.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/insidepulse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Hawkeye-3.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"467\" \/>Why would the company hire him as their head of security, and then hire someone else to distract him so he wouldn\u2019t notice that they were doing something illegal?\u00a0 Wouldn\u2019t it have been a lot easier to just not hire him in the first place?\u00a0 I\u2019d have thought that Clint would have liked to confront Sheila, the woman that broke his heart, but he seems pretty okay with moving on to Bobbi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mockingbird is one of the best things about this comic.\u00a0 She\u2019s an interesting character for the time &#8211; she\u2019s not dressed in a particularly revealing or sexy outfit, and she holds her ground as an independent woman, but she also throws herself at Clint pretty quickly.\u00a0 I like that she has some fringe history around the Marvel Universe, but is for all intents and purposes, a blank slate here.\u00a0 The relationship between her and Clint is interesting from the beginning, as she comes across as the more accomplished hero, and we aren\u2019t privy to her insecurities the way we are his.\u00a0 The romance does seem to come a little bit out of nowhere though, and I thought that their wedding seemed a little premature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I suspect that this title was first used to test the water for an ongoing Hawkeye series, which, had Gruenwald written it, I\u2019d have been all over.\u00a0 Gruenwald is one of the best writers of this era at Marvel (I reread his Captain America not that long ago), and he had a good handle on Clint.\u00a0 He\u2019s not portrayed as being as brash and reactive as we\u2019ve seen elsewhere, but he is pretty emotional, and quick to make decisions.\u00a0 Clint was always more of an everyman hero, and I thought it was interesting that Gruenwald would work in the Captain America cameo that makes Clint think about how much resentment he\u2019s carried towards Cap, which largely appears to come from a place of jealousy and insecurity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I also really like that Clint came out of this series with hearing loss (despite the fact that few subsequent writers have remembered to do anything with it, with the notable exception of Matt Fraction\u2019s brilliant run).\u00a0 There are few heroes that deal with physical handicaps or disabilities, and that Gruenwald decided to do this to Clint back when he did is remarkable.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I often forget that Gruenwald was also an artist.\u00a0 He didn\u2019t draw all that many books, and that\u2019s a shame.\u00a0 He has a nice clean approach to the art here, and delivers some very fine Marvel house-style art.\u00a0 I\u2019m not a huge fan of the new look of Hawkeye\u2019s uniform, mostly because the asymmetrical purple sleeve on his left arm bugs me, but I also like costume changes that are just minor tweaks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m not sure how or when the decision to move from this series to the West Coast Avengers miniseries took place, but that\u2019s where we\u2019re headed next, when Clint and Bobbi (who have both lost everything in this series) head to LA to set up shop.\u00a0 I remember loving that book, so let\u2019s see how it stands up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;d like to see the
