Jeff Lemire’s Hawkeye with art by Ramon Perez is an underrated gem. Though not as impressive or groundbreaking like it’s critically acclaimed predecessor, it still manages to tell a great story with even greater art. Lemire tells a story with similar themes to his other works, it’s definitely a look at Clint and Kate with his style. I think he has a good grasp on the characterization Fraction invented in his run and it feels like a natural continuation from where Fraction left off. The art takes 3 different styles, a water color look into the past, an Aja esque present and a style similar to Lemire’s own art style for the future.
The triple narrative separated by the different art styles Perez puts into the series really adds a lot to the story and I LOVE how the 3 blend together. The main plot centers around Kate and Clint’s relationship as they try to save the lives of 3 weaponized extremely powerful children. They disagree and what to do with these kids with elements from Clint’s pst foreshadowing what happens in the present and the actions they take in the present affecting the future. It’s a well crafted narrative that definitely fits in with Jeff Lemire’s storytelling style.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and had no expectations for it. Everything I heard about this book was negative but I thought it was rather impressive.
8.5/10
