10 Heartwarming Marvel Moments That Made Fans Cry
8. Hawkeye Learning Sign Language - Hawkeye
There are a lot of things we can say about the Hawkeye solo series, but we wish we could just leave it at "go read it immediately". Because this honestly is one of the most perfect series that Marvel has done in years, and anything that we can say about it won't cover everything great about it.
However, if at first you don't succeed and all that, so let's focus on one of the most touching moments from a comic filled with them.
For those Hawkeye fans out there wondering how he became deaf like he is in the current comics, that all started with this series. Specifically issues 16-18, when a supervillain attacks Clint and his estranged brother, stabbing Clint in his ears. Since Clint is severely lacking in superhero friends to fix him at the moment, he has no choice but to go to a doctor, where they then declare him officially deaf.
The next issue has almost no words, as we see Clint's slow, humbling, arduous journey as his brother teaches him American Sign Language. Seeing Clint claw his way back up as far as he can by learning how to better communicate in his circumstance is the kind of touching that will bring the waterworks in no time.
