Serialisation can be
an interesting beast, especially when it comes to comic books. I normally
struggle with television shows or comic books without at least an element of
serialisation to keep me coming back, week after week. Which is why the fact
that I love Matt Fraction’s Hawkeye as
much as I do is such a remarkable achievement. Fraction doesn’t need plot
twists or over-the-top villains with convoluted schemes to keep us coming back
week after week – he’s created two outstanding lead characters that do the job
for him.
