Review Quotes

Praise for Hawkeye: My Life As A Weapon

"The premise, about a superhero on his off days, is just exactly the superhero story I would want to tell as a writer. I was so drawn to it. I was so drawn to the tiny moments, the little human moments and also the art. I spend a lot of time rightfully praising Matt Fraction, but [artist] David Aja's style in this comics, and the colors [from] Matt Hollingsworth, it's distinct and graphically terrific." - Jonathan Igla, head writer and executive producer of the Disney+ series Hawkeye and former writer on Mad Men
