Old man Hawkeye ends like it began, just a okay book. It's not the art sucks, or Ethan Sacks is a bad writer, it's that the story was never going to do much "new" or 'exciting". Basically this is Hawkeye trying to finish up the rest of the tunderbolts who betrayed him and his team back in the day. That part is actually pretty exciting to see all the old avengers/tunderbolts get beaten. The way Thor dies is kind of stupid IMO since he's been through a lot worse but it worked for the shock level.
This volume starts of with a flashback of the fateful moment when the Thunderbolts turned on Clint and his team members were killed. Pretty brutal. Then we jump to the current where old man Hawkeye and old woman Hawkeye are still moving thru the wasteland with Clint still looking for the remaining Thunderbolts and Zemo to kill them. Meanwhile, Bullseye is still on their trail while Red Skull has sent someone after Bullseye. Real cat and mouse game going on in this volume. The end kinda veers tow...
I love this series. I love this world. Keep ‘em coming. I’m skipping all over the Marvel universe. So, I find it a little funny I’m putting future Wolverine, Hawkeye, Hulk, Redskull, Bullseye, and aged superheroes and villains so high up in my “Must read Right Now” category. Quirky, I guess.
In the second half of this Hawkeye revenge story, we finally flash back to what happened to the Avengers and how they were betrayed by the Thunderbolts. Then it's nonstop action as Hawkeye hunts down the rest of the Thunderbolts. Marco Checctto's art is still amaze-balls. Why isn't he on Marvel's top books yet?
Fast moving ride with action in abundance coupled with a satisfactory plot that has plenty of cool reveals.45 years ago Clint Barton was betrayed by Baron Zemo and the rest of the thunderbolts. In the middle of Vegas Hawkeye led his team of Avengers into a routine battle royale. Only this one ended with the entire team eradicated as it stands few heroes remain the Red Skull, and various super villains now rule the world.After the confrontation. Zemo: this is my victory. And no you don't get to g...
3.5/5 (for this volume)Overall, this is an excellent mini-series. The Mad Max atmosphere was great for a revenge story like this, it was interesting to see where the characters we know ended up in this particular future. I wasn't a fan of all sub-plots – some felt a bit forced and unnecessary – but overall I was engaged in the story all the time. Checchetto's art was a treat, as always, and worked really well with the setting. And I gotta admit, the very last page made me want to scream – I love...
Old Man Logan was a fantastic series and this was a brilliant spin-off prequel that was better than it had any right to be. It wove an awesome story set in the world of the original events of Old Man Logan and played out in action packed issues, one after another and filled with incredible artwork and over the top action. This was a satisfying conclusion, but will leave you hungry for more. I think Marvel will quell that with Old Man Quill and I am anticipating it.
that ending was great :))
This was another solid one as we follow Clint on his journey with Kate. We finally see what happened all those years ago and where it went wrong with the Avengers and their fall and its a haunting chapter but so well done, just shows you the emotional complexity here.In other areas Bullseye takes on Winter Soldier then makes his way to find Barton as he is with Songbird and its an emotional issue too and like one of the best. Forgiveness and Redemption and another encounter with Moonstone and th...
Great part 2 to this story. I feel like it left it open for another story.
3.5/5 It was honestly worth the read just to see the last panel.
3.5 Stars.The saga of Old Man Hawkeye continues! Seeking revenge on Baron Zemo for the Thunderbolts betrayal and murder of the Avengers, Clint continues his partnership with Kate Bishop, even as his eyesight is deteriorating. Seeking out Songbird, then Moonstone, Clint seeks info on where Zemo is, even while being trailed by Bullseye. In the end, Clint gets his revenge on Zemo, but realizes he needs to continue being a hero.This prequel to Old Man Logan was not as great as the original, but was
The story is repetitive and relies, at times, too heavily on characters I've never heard of before. Even Kate Bishop couldn't save it for me.
Well, that was a little disappointing. After a promising first half with an interesting look at the moral decisions various characters made, the back half is more or less a standard supehero adventure. Hawkeye wants revenge against the Thunderbolts, but the more morally conflicted ones are more or less gone by the time the second half starts. It just wasn't as good as the first half.
Did you hear the one about the archer who was deaf and going blind?This volume gives us a glimpse of the actual fall of the heroes. Hawkeye knows who's responsible and he's going to make them pay. He even picks up some help. Go Team Hawkeyes! Kate Bishop is still alive in this bleak future and running a sanctuary.Meanwhile, Bullseye is still tracking 'the last super hero' down..It's only a matter of time before someone falls, good or bad.
gosh, that was BRUTAL.I love Kate Bishop. With my whole heart.
I liked Old Man Hawkeye. As I write this, I think that it did have some flaws and I should have liked it less, but despite the analysis I am left feeling that it was pretty good.I liked the Red Skull dominated dystopian future and I thought the art and the dialogue were good throughout. There is a lot missing from the backstory, but this is just two volumes, so I'm willing to cut it some slack on that account. There are some big holes in the plot. Like, why in a world with super soldier serum, a...
The Whole World Blind is a perfectly adequate, action-packed follow-up to Old Man Hawkeye Vol. 1, though it lacks that first volume's interesting exploration of the Wasteland world. Instead, we're treated to non-stop fight scenes as Old Man Hawkeye and Old Woman Kate Bishop face off against several Thunderbolts and the seemingly unstoppable Old Man Bullseye. As with the first volume, the intentions of the characters are unclear, aside from Hawkeye generically wanting revenge. Twists and surprise...
Really good conclusion to the story. Plenty of twists and turns and not a disappointment. The after credits scene was awesome as well. I personally would like to see more series set in the "Old Man Logan" universe as the post apocalyptic setting has a lot of potential.
I really enjoy these old men stories, mainly because I love seeing the heroes and villians aged and with unique "where are they now" stories (O.K. the fights are bad ass too). I feel like the writers also get a lot more wiggle room to play with the character and their stories. The book opens up to a flashback to when the heroes died (in battleword). It is an awesome battle and huge betrayal from a new people I wont spoil. So Hawkeye is on a mission to take down Baron Zemo...because he was one of...
