Did somebody say “pisspoor unnecessary prequel”? No? Well, Marvel’s gonna give you one anyway - here’s Old Man Hawkeye! Set five years before Old Man Logan, Hawkeye’s out for revenge hunting down baddies for his fallen buds. Also Bullseye’s hunting Hawkeye because he broke the law (even though he seems to have no regard for it himself) and so’s Venom. Get ready for six issues of mindless idiocy! Ethan Sacks (who?) has written a story that’s feeble on all fronts. Hawkeye’s revenge plot is meander...

Are you completely exhausted with the interminable Old Man Logan series? Me too! Don't let that stop you from giving Old Man Hawkeye a chance though. Whereas Old Man Logan features unnecessary, poorly-drawn retreads of Wolvy's past adventures, Old Man Hawkeye takes place entirely in the Wasteland universe and even bothers to flesh out that universe with characters, locations, and little tidbits of history. It's interesting! That said, it's not unique by any means. Hawkeye, in his dotage, is goin...

I've never seen the appeal of any of these "Old Man" series that Marvel has been putting out recently. Is there something about turning every character into Clint Eastwood that makes it easier to tell stories with them? It feels like the idea ran its course a long, long time ago. Apparently the solution was to take Clint Eastwood Hawkeye and also put him in a Mad Max movie."Old Man" complaints aside, this isn't a horrendous story. It's fine. It was more entertaining than a lot of what Marvel is

I personally love the continuity of the "Old Man Logan" series. It's basically the Marvel Universe meets Mad Max.In this series Hawkeye finds out he's going blind, so before he does he wants to hunt down his former allies in the Thunderbolts who betrayed the Avengers and basically killed them. So Hawkeye is playing the Punisher as he's not looking to bring them in but end them. Along the way he's trailed by Deathlok-Bullseye and a gang of Venoms who have bonded with the multiple man. A few other...

As someone who has read just about everything related to the "Old Man Logan" property (out of a sense of duty at this point more than anything else), I can say without much doubt that this series marks the highest point of quality for the whole franchise, simultaneously complimenting and enriching the world crafted by Millar and McNiven while expanding, improving and remixing the mythos every step of the way.

Old Man Hawkeye is an expansion on the Old Man Logan universe where 45 years ago the Red Skull, and various other Super villains scoured the majority of Marvels finest heroes off the face of the earth. America has turned into some sort of Mad Max- esque wasteland.This particular tale is set 5 years prior to the epic OML run by Lemire and Sorrentino. Ethan Sacks who appears to be a new face in the industry did a stellar job capturing the vibe of the original all blood filled, and action packed li...

This was actually quite good, really enjoyed it!It takes place in the OML universe and we follow Clint whose gonna go blind soon and so he is on a mission to take down former enemies or allies who teamed up to like take down his Avengers teammates and its epic seeing the way he does it. We follow him as he visits his estranged daughter and his adventures as he takes down Atlas and Beetle, his former teammates in Thunderbolts and their part in what they did to Nat. And finally the big storyline w...

Another good story from the wastelands in Battleworld. They don't change the recipe that much from Old man Logan and I am fine with that. Violence, revenge, and lots of cool cameos are still the name of the game with Old Man Hawkeye and I will say I dont know who Ethan Sacks is but he did a fine job writing. This takes place before Old Man Logan with Logan still at his farm protecting his family, This time Hawkeye needs help and Logan gives him the finger. Hawkeye wants revenge for the death of

Awesome art, fun story, maybe a bit repetitive. Hawkeye was my favorite in Old Man Logan, so I'm glad they expanded his story, totally worth it, four stars.

3.75 stars. This was pretty cool. Set 5 years before the events of Old Man Logan by Millar, we get to see what Clint was up to. The book starts with Clint running a job as protection. They get attacked by the Maddrox gang. Clint takes them all down but one escapes which will come back to bite him....literally. After that, Hawkeye comes to the conclusion that he is sick of the way things are and since he has nothing to lose, he’s going to take his bow and go kill the Thunderbolts who had a part i...

3.5 Stars.5 years before the events of Old Man Logan (the original graphic novel, not the current series), Clint Barton (still able to see, though that is fading) has decided to take revenge for the fallen Avengers. Too many enemies stand in his way: The Madrox Gang, which combines with Venom and turns into replicating Madrox Venoms; Bullseye; Atlas; the Killer Kravenoffs; Mach-X/The Beetle; Taskmaster; all working for the corrupt President of the United States Red Skull. And Herr Skull's perfec...

This was so awesome. The artwork was incredible and it kept a consistent pace throughout. I really enjoyed the action and the characters and can't wait for volume 2. Hawkeye is so incredibly badass in this storyline.

-Read for 2019 YA Reading Challenge-I didn't love this as much as Wolverine: Old Man Logan, but that set a pretty high bar. This was still great, but it's different. Clint is fighting old demons and I think the back story here will run a little deeper. We see a man confronting his mortality and it's very much about trying to finishing something started a long time ago. There are several characters introduced that I won't spoil, but especially near the end this started to ramp up in the best way....

It sets up like it's going to be self-contained and then it just doesn't come to an end. Still, it should have been a lot worse. Not a big alternate Marvel worlds fan and this is basically Wastelands which is mostly the worst. But Old Man Logan works so I guess they figured Old Man Hawkeye might work as well. And he kind of does. Sure this is a travelogue of Clint going around the world and killing. But it's always interesting and the writing is pretty good. It can't break out of it's basic conc...

Ethan Sacks takes us to five-years before Old Man Logan to the adventure of Old Man Hawkeye. Clint has to deal with the possibility of blindness and decides to start to get revenge: Venom, Red Skull, and Bullseye pursue. Grim-dark but doesn't have the weight of Old Man Logan. So we have one-last-right trope, and post-apocalyptic revenge on second and third-string villains isn't as compelling as Sacks would like. There may be interesting bits coming but this does pretty much exactly what you thin...

Some of this was cool, some pretty silly, hardly ever boring.

Set 5 years before Old Man Logan, Clint Barton finds out he's losing his vision and decides to go out getting revenge. He's headed out to track down the Thunderbolts / Masters of Evil as it seems they were somehow involved in the deaths of the Avengers. Meanwhile Bullseye and the new Venom are after Clint. There's some cool moments in this and the art is action packed. Worth reading for Marco Checcetto's art alone. His work is fantastic!

Did anyone ask for this?I don't think they did. I certainly didn't, at any rate.Regardless, here we have it. A prequel story from the world of Old Man Logan that will probably culminate in the exciting origin of the Spider-Buggy. <--we can hope, right? I'm not a fan of Prequels. At all. My thinking is that I already know the way the story ends and I don't particularly need to relive it from different angles.On rare occasions, prequels work. Most of the time they feel like (to me) cash grabs.But

For some reason whenever a marvel title has "Old Man" in it, just never seems to impress me ALL that much. So most people now know what Old Man Logan is. Even if you haven't read it but you probably heard people compare it to Logan the movie. It's a reality where the villains win and all that's left living is a few heroes such as Logan in a post-villain world. This takes place 5 years prior to Old Man Logan and we follow our favorite Archer of all time. I Believe this is supposed to be a 12 issu...

2,5* A totally unnecessary prequel to Old Man Logan but an easy read with cool art. Clint suddenly wants to take revenge on those who killed his pals 40 years ago so he starts hunting them down, bringing chaos on his trail. On this paper thin premise Ethan Sacks adds a Multiple Man/Venom combo and a Deathloked Bullseye. Why? To delay the run up to 12 issues probably. But if Bullseye is dramatically bland each Venom apparition is at least decently frightening. Apart from that it's a succession of...
