The unexpectedness of Matt Fraction and David Aja's modern-classic Hawkeye run cannot be understated, as when fans picked up the all-new issue one of a longstanding and... kind of lame superhero, they were treated to one of the wittiest and most subversive comics to ever emerge from Marvel or DC in years.
A comic that is equal parts John Wick and The Naked Gun, this in-your-face splash page that opened the very first issue of Fraction's Hawkeye was indicative of the story to come, and marked a turning point not only for Hawkeye but for every B-List hero done injustice in years gone by.
