From the Archives- Matt Fraction and David Aja's HAWKGUY (2012-2015)
Fraction’s Hawkeye is a bit of a loser, a man who may know everything to do during the working hours but when he punches out for the day, he’s kind of lost and bumbling. But that doesn’t mean that he still can’t find trouble to get in when he’s just trying to hang around his apartment.
