Since his brief appearance in the 2011 MCU film Thor, Hawkeye has become a staple member of the Avengers, featuring in nearly all of the team’s cinematic outings. Over the years, the character has undergone significant development, diverging from his initial portrayal in the MCU. The 2021 Disney+ series, which delved into the aftermath of Endgame, shed light on the toll his role as an Avenger has taken on him, addressing both mental and physical challenges, along with his use of a hearing aid.
Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye in the MCU
While the series depicted his hearing loss due to the frequent explosions he’s encountered as an Avenger, the comics offer a more harrowing and graphic account of how the superhero sustained this injury. With Marvel Studios now exploring R-rated content with projects like Deadpool 3 and Daredevil: Born Again, there’s an opportunity for the studio to pay homage...

With Christmas fast approaching I thought I would take in the role of the ever helpful happy elf and throw out some comic book gift ideas. It must be tough buying for us nerds, we can be a fussy bunch. I fortunately do not have any other nerds to buy for, I don’t envy the task at all. Does the comic book fan in your life read trade paperbacks, hardcovers or only omnibuses? I wouldn’t even being to contemplate getting into back issues unless I was well tuned in to a certain individuals wants and needs. Also what I wanted to do with this list was look at some alternatives to the usual books that are getting shouted out. There are debates all the time from comic book commentators saying the success of the movies is bringing more people to comics. I remain unconvinced by the the evidence...

This article contains spoilers for Marvel’s Hawkeye episode 3, as well as potential spoilers for future episodes and the wider MCU.
Hawkeye Episode 3
Hawkeye episode 3, “Echoes” is an action-packed romp, and handily the best episode of the series so far. Hell, it’s one of the best episodes of Marvel TV we’ve seen all year. And while it’s a lot more low key with it’s Marvel Comics references and MCU Easter eggs, there’s lots of holiday gifts, big and small, peppered throughout.
Here’s everything we found…
Echo In the montage of Echo’s life, we see her easily defeat a male boxer. The same scene happens in her first comic book appearance in Daredevil #9, albeit in a more public spectacle. In the comics, Echo’s father Willie “Crazy Horse” Lincoln, was killed by Wilson Fisk and not Ronin. That part about him leaving a bloody...

Clint Barton, a.k.a. the Avenger known as Hawkeye, is a normal human being. He has many skills, several of them involving weapons and quite lethal, but he does not have any superpowers. So perhaps more than his other superfriends, he is quite susceptible to injury or even death.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Barton (Jeremy Renner) has taken his share of licks over the years — that’s what happens when you battle armies of invading Chitauri or legions of Ultron robots — and as a result of being around massive explosions and catastrophic battles, we discover in the new series Hawkeye that he now wears a hearing aid.
Asked at a press conference promoting the show what it means for his character to go through hearing loss and how it affects him, Renner responded, “I grew up with it…my cousin’s deaf, and a lot of that...

Spoiler Warning: This story includes discussion of plot points in the first two episodes of Marvel Studios’ “Hawkeye,” which is currently streaming on Disney Plus.
Jonathan Igla first learned that Marvel Studios was making a “Hawkeye” series for Disney Plus the same way the world did, when Variety broke the news in April 2019 that it was in the works.
“I said to my reps, you’ve got to get me in that room,” Igla says now. “Please tell me this isn’t one of those cases where it’s being announced in the trades but they’re already five months down the line and none of us knew about it.”
Fortunately for Igla, the show was still in early development. But even though he was a massive fan of both Marvel comics and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he’d never made a genre-heavy project before, working instead as a writer...

Hawkeye today became the latest Disney+ entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We’ll be recapping it for the next five weeks, starting with spoilers for the two-part series premiere, coming up just as soon as I have monogrammed butterscotch…
“Your whole thing is that you’re low-key,” Kate Bishop tells Clint Barton midway through the second episode of Hawkeye. “It’s a very hard brand to sell.”
This has been Clint’s burden throughout a long fictional life going back to his days as a third-rate Iron Man villain in the mid-Sixties.

Hawkeye Episodes 1 and 2
After more trailers, TV spots, and exclusive clips than you can shake a stick at, the first two episodes of Marvel’s Hawkeye are now streaming on Disney+.
But who asked for it? Hawkeye has steadily maintained his place in the Avengers line-up since 2012’s first team-up movie, and has been dutifully played by the double Oscar-nominated Jeremy Renner over the last decade, but Clint Barton is still a supporting character that the MCU itself has regularly mocked as being surplus to requirements.
Arguably, fewer MCU fans were as hyped for this series as they were for other supporting character Disney+ projects like Loki, but fans of Matt Fraction and David Aja’s spectacular 2012-2015 Hawkeye Marvel Comics run – which thankfully this series borrows from liberally – tentatively got their hopes up.

Hawkeye‘s eponymous hero will go from Avenger to reluctant mentor in the upcoming six-part series, which arrives with a double-episode premiere this Wednesday on Disney+.
Set about two years after Avengers: Endgame, the series centers on Clint Barton, who visits New York City and is determined to make it back to his family in time for Christmas. That may prove difficult when his checkered past comes back to haunt him, leading the Marvel hero to team up with his biggest fan: Kate Bishop.

The “best gifts come with a bow.” Hawkeye gets his own spinoff in the forthcoming Disney+ series, premiering on the streaming platform November 24. In honor of Marvel’s infamous archer, we rounded up a handful of Hawkeye comic books for you to purchase before (or after) the show debuts.
For the uninitiated, Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) is a skilled marksman and an ex-villain turned Avenger; his ally is Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld), a rich girl-turned-superhero. But that doesn’t even graze the surface of their backstory. For more about how they came to be — and why so many fans are rabid for the series’ debut — check below for a collection of comics that created their characters.

For more than a decade, Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton, aka “Hawkeye,” has been the odd man out in the Avengers squad. Now, he’s getting his own television series that both eschews the straightforward superhero script and looks exactly like what you’d expect from the Marvel machine.
Unlike most of his peers, Clint has zero superhero powers to speak of beyond an uncanny ability to hit a mark with his bow and arrow. The other exception to the rule was his best friend Natasha (Scarlett Johansson), aka “Black Widow,” who’s dead by the time Clint gets his own show. Now, Clint is still Hawkeye to the point that someone might ask for a selfie at the urinal, but he’s still apparently not famous enough to inspire many double takes even in the middle of Times Square. (Clint’s notoriety appears to shift in every other scene as the script demands.

With each of its Disney+ series — just like with many of its movies — Marvel Studios has attempted to accentuate a different genre or tone depending on the story, the themes and the characters, not to mention each show’s place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. WandaVision and Loki go for a surreal, cosmic, universe-bending vibe, while The Falcon and the Winter Soldier operates on the level of a geopolitical thriller. So where does that leave the latest Marvel limited series, Hawkeye?
“Every time we start developing a project, we are always talking about how we set it apart from everything else that we’ve done,” says Hawkeye executive producer Trinh Tran in an interview with Den of Geek about the six-episode series.
“With Falcon and Winter Soldier, with WandaVision and Loki, they’re all different,” she continues. “In terms of Hawkeye, how can we set that apart from everything else?...

“Things were happening fast and, on the fly, and, you know, when you are walking into a world that is very much established and you’re trying to establish yourself, it can be tricky,” says Hailee Steinfeld of making her Marvel live action debut with Disney+’s upcoming Hawkeye series.
“But I had some incredible support from Jeremy, and the filmmakers, and the writers and everyone and anyone involved,” the Oscar nominee and Dickinson star adds on today’s Hero Nation podcast of her co-star Hawkeye himself Jeremy Renner, EP Rhys Thomas and directing duo Bert and Bertie and more from the show.

The arrival of Disney+ series Hawkeye will have Marvel Cinematic Universe archer Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) dealing with the implications of his post-Snap international vigilante spree as Ronin, which made him enemies among the world’s conventional criminals. Yet, rather than hit up one (or all) of his super-powered Avengers contacts, he instead relies solely on the help of an upstart fangirl and would-be arrow-apprentice in Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld). This leads to a rather obvious question, which Marvel’s Kevin Feige now addresses.
Indeed, while we’ve been seeing Disney+ Marvel television shows entangle Avengers members in a variety of personal struggles, Hawkeye appears to have uniquely grounded stakes. This is especially clear when remembering that Barton, who helped save the universe from freaking Thanos and his intergalactic army in Avengers: Endgame, now finds himself in New York City during the Christmas season fending off neighborhood street toughs in matching red tracksuits,...

If there is one character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe who deserves to be the center of their own series so we can learn more about them, it’s Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye. An original Avenger whose main skill is that he knows his way around a bow and arrow, Clint has been around since Phase One and yet we still know shockingly little about him outside of his close friendship with Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) and that he has a secret family only a few people knew about prior to the events of “Avengers: Age of Ultron” (2015).
Debuting Wednesday, Nov. 24 with two episodes on Disney+, the six-episode “Hawkeye” will attempt to fill in the gaps in Clint’s story the way this summer’s “Black Widow” gave Nat a complete backstory (and revealed what happened in Budapest). The show is the fourth live-action Marvel series to...

It will give Jeremy Renner's Clint Barton the spotlight, while also introducing us to Hailee Steinfeld's Kate Bishop. Not to mention Lucky, Aka Pizza Dog. But it also may serve as a perfect time for Marvel fans to dive into the source material a bit.

One thing about the origins of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that’s easy to forget these days is that much of the Avengers stuff was inspired by the Ultimate Marvel comics, specifically The Ultimates. This especially went for Hawkeye, who had little to do with his mainstream comic self and far more with Ultimate Hawkeye. His uniform, Shield black ops status, and even his family were taken from the Ultimate Marvel comics. Not only that, but the way he became a hopeless mass murderer after the deaths of his wife and kids (far more permanent in the comics) was lifted from the books.
So it’s a bit weird to see them suddenly shift to his mainstream comic self. Up to Avengers: Endgame, the only specific bit of Hawkeye taken from the regular comic continuity is that he started dressing as Ronin for a time. Now he’s starring in...

Vera Farmiga’s brief appearance in the trailer for Disney+’s new Hawkeye series certainly set the speculation train alight. “Who could she possibly be playing?” “She looks pretty evil.”
Good news: she’s playing Eleanor Bishop, Kate’s mom; she is in fact pretty evil; and she doesn’t appear to have a whit of ’80s frumpy ex-nun to her character. She’s just going to be a wealthy, amoral jerk. And also maybe a vampire.
Who Is Eleanor Bishop?
Eleanor has a place in Kate’s story going back to her earliest days – she’s mentioned in Young Avengers Special #1 in 2006, shortly after Kate was created by Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung. Eleanor is the wife of Manhattan publishing magnate Derek Bishop, but she was estranged from him and frequently off cavorting around the world before she died mysteriously on a skiing trip in Boulder, Colorado.

With What If…? still in the middle of streaming on Disney+, it’s never too early to start thinking about MCU Christmas, and the first Hawkeye trailer has arrived to let us get a feel of that expensive present way ahead of time, even as Marvel continues to add the bows (sorry) and trimmings to Clint Barton’s upcoming TV series behind the scenes.
Starring Jeremy Renner reprising his role as Barton/Hawkeye and introducing Hailee Steinfeld to the MCU as his eager archery prodigy Kate Bishop, Hawkeye also boasts a supporting cast that features Vera Farmiga, Fra Fee, Tony Dalton, Zahn McClarnon, Brian d’Arcy James, and Alaqua Cox as Maya Lopez (aka Echo).

Move over, "Die Hard." Fans have been looking forward to Marvel's "Hawkeye" series with great anticipation upon learning it would be loosely inspired by the exceedingly well-received Matt Fraction and David Aja comic storyline, but this morning's trailer for the series definitively answers a much different, though equally important question: whether the MCU would ever set a story around the holiday season ever again. That's right, "Hawkeye" is officially a Christmas show and we're already in a festive mood about it. Check out the first trailer and poster for the Disney+ superhero series below.

Superhero movies and TV shows set during the holiday season are pretty rare beasts. Sure, we’ve had the occasional vaguely holiday themed episode of an Arrowverse show from time to time, and of course both Iron Man 3 and Shazam! were set around the Christmas season. But it’s rare that they really revel in the atmosphere of the season. That’s going to change with Marvel’s new Hawkeye series coming to Disney+ in November, which according to executive producer Trin Tranh is “grounded and funny, packed to the brim with Christmas spirit.”
Fans had already suspected that Hawkeye could be set around the holidays when the first official image from the series, featuring Hailee Steinfeld as aspiring superheroic archer Kate Bishop hanging out with former Avenger Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner). That image, seen above, included some prominently placed Christmas lights among the various trick arrows and targets scattered around a basement.

This article contains Black Widow spoilers.
As the pandemic winds down, Marvel is opening the floodgates with endless movies they’ve been building up alongside their string of Disney+ shows. One of the big series on the horizon is Hawkeye, starring Jeremy Renner reprising his role as badass archer Clint Barton. The retired Avenger gives it one more go in a story inspired by one of his most popular comic book runs.
Hawkeye Release Date
Back at Sdcc 2019 Marvel announced that Hawkeye would arrive in Fall of 2021, but it’s not yet clear if the Covid pandemic impacted that. But considering how What If starts its 10 episode run on August 11, that would make the earliest Hawkeye could arrive Oct. 6.
Depending on whether Hawkeye or Ms. Marvel will be the next of the Disney+ live action shows, that will also impact the potential release date. Ms. Marvel is said to be six episodes,...

Marvel Studios celebrated Simu Liu’s birthday by giving us all a present: the first trailer for Shang Chi and the Ten Rings. And there’s a lot to get excited about: a ripped Liu kicking several things; some of the best looking fight shots in the MCU to date; Awkwafina being generally delightful.
Watch it here if you haven’t already…
But buried in the middle of the trailer was a very quick flash of something fascinating:
Was that an Iron Fist?
Iron Fist and the MCU
Up until now, the first character who jumps to mind when you think “Marvel martial artists” is likely Danny Rand, the Iron Fist. Rand was part of Marvel’s wave of characters capitalizing on mid-70s pop culture. He was created by Roy Thomas, Gil Kane, and Bill Everett, and he had some staying power: he was spun out of Marvel Premiere...

Marvel Comics' "Iron Fist: Heart Of The Dragon" #1, available January 20, 2021, is written by Larry Hama and illustrated by Dave Wachter, with covers by Billy Tan, David Aja and Kim Jacinto:
"...someone is killing the ancient dragons that power the 'Heavenly Cities' and only 'Iron Fist' and the 'Deadly Weapons' can stop them, if they can discover who they are in time.
"Zombie armies, mystical portals, dragon hearts and deadly fighters all converge in one action-packed extravaganza, and the fate of all worlds hangs in the balance..."

With WandaVision on the way, and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier nearly ready to drop, Marvel’s next Disney+ series, Hawkeye, has flown a bit under the radar since its announcement. That changed yesterday, with new set pictures and a massive casting drop. But who the heck are all these characters? And what might the cast tell us about the story? We have some guesses, and only a couple of them involve the Circus of Crime.
Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld)
Probably the biggest news is the finally official confirmation that Kate Bishop would be a co-star of the show. Hailee Steinfield plays this possibly future Young Avenger as she joins her namesake hero (Jeremy Renner) on a quest through New York City.
Bishop was created in the comics by Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung as part of the 2005 Young Avengers team. She’s the daughter of obscenely wealthy and inattentive Manhattanites,...

Ram V had been announced some time ago as taking over solo writing duties as of Justice League Dark #21. He is, if you’ll remember, the writer behind one of my favorite surprises of 2019, These Savage Shores. He’s an inventive and thoughtful storyteller, making him an ideal match for DC’s supernatural world. I was very excited for his arrival on its own… and then I got a look at the art!
I feel bad, because you won’t get to see the pages that ripped my jaw off and threw it on the floor until you go buy the book. The preview art is very good, but at about the midpoint of the issue, it jumps from “excellent superhero comic” to “Did Jh Williams and David Aja have a kid? I didn’t even know they were dating.”

We haven’t even seen season 3 yet but it appears that CBS has already quietly renewed Star Trek: Discovery for a fourth run. Debuting on CBS All Access back in 2017, Discovery was the first Trek TV series on the airwaves since Enterprise ended in 2005. You’d have expected fans to be overjoyed that the franchise was back on the small screen, then, but actually, Discovery has proven to be highly divisive, with just as many people criticizing the show as praising it. But the latter half have won out as we know that we’ve got two more seasons to enjoy.
This renewal news comes via Production Weekly. In a long list of shows in active development, the publication lists Star Trek: Discovery season 4 among them. We’re still waiting on an official announcement from the network, then, but things are looking good for the series. It shouldn’t come...

It’s been quite a roller coaster for Hawkeye fans since the announcement of the Disney+ series inspired by the acclaimed Matt Fraction/David Aja run — from the initial confusion over the least popular Avenger headlining a series, to the exciting casting of Hailee Steinfeld, to both stars’ involvement being in question. But it seems that Disney is still full […]

Doom Patrol: Weight of the Worlds #3 is a hard boiled detective story...in the way only the Doom Patrol could deliver it.
A good adaptation will make you reexamine (or reevaluate) the source material. This is why Doom Patrol will endure as a great TV show. It revelled in its comic book-iness in a way that no other comics TV show would ever dare, and amplified the things about the comics that made them so unique. Gerard Way, Jeremy Lambert and Nick Derington have been turning that comics-uniqueness up in Doom Patrol: Weight of the Worlds, the Young Animal return for the series, and in this exclusive preview, Steve Orlando and Evan “Doc” Shaner step in to add to it.
Steve Orlando is quietly one of the best writers in the business and definitely one of the best things DC has going for it right now.

Having spent the last eight years as a supporting player in the McU, Clint Barton is finally getting his own vehicle with the upcoming Hawkeye TV show. Though we’d been hearing reports for some time about the archer landing a Disney Plus series, the news only just became official at last weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con. But now that the cat’s out of the bag, Jeremy Renner has spent these last few days hyping up the the project through his various social media accounts.
This latest tease takes the form of a photo from Marvel’s Hall H panel, featuring the outline of Renner in front of the show’s stylish new logo and one of its key characters. While the logo is heavily inspired by Matt Fraction and David Aja’s run with the character, the heroine pictured is none other than Kate Bishop, the third person...

Marvel is developing a Hawkeye TV series with Jeremy Renner for Disney Plus.
The onslaught of Marvel streaming TV shows continues, and Hawkeye will be one of the plethora of secondary characters getting their chance to shine on the small screen. Variety broke the news that the series will deal with Clint Barton passing the mantle of Hawkeye on to Kate Bishop, familiar to fans of Marvel's various Young Avengers series. Hawkeye will join other Marvel series on Disney+ including Winter Soldier and Falcon, Vision and Scarlet Witch, and Loki.
Hawkeye hasn't exactly had the easiest time of it in the McU. Having been little more than a supporting player in the first two Avengers movies, he was absent entirely from Avengers: Infinity War. It was only the first Avengers: Endgame footage that revealed that he had not only survived Thanos' snap, but had forged himself a...

Another year in the books, another batch of incredible comics for you to read! These are the best comics of 2018.
Comics, like all art, can be a mirror on society or a safe harbor from its worst tendencies, and thankfully again in 2018, we got some incredible books this year. I’ve been watching our pull lists since the calendar flipped in January, keeping an eye out for the best comics to share with you, and we’ve finally cut it down to just 10. But first, a few honorable mentions.
Yoshitoki Oima’s To Your Eternity was probably the best new manga I read this year, but I kept it off the list because as good as the newest volumes are, the first one is stellar and it was published too early. Transformers: Unicron is a great way to end a fascinating era of Transformers comics, one that...
