Find the Hawkguy “Things I’m Great At” top here in a variety of styles and sizes!
How great are we at boats? … not very. But you might be, and who are we to say no to that. After numerous inquiries about my customs tank from Hawkeye Week, we’ve decided to make the design available online.
Hold my pearls, bro.
And so ends our illustrious Hawkeye Week, in a wonderfully fancy mess of tracksuit and heels — a mashup between the old country and new. And how to style up such glorious gangsigns? By channeling our most favourite Kate Bishop, of course.
(Oh god, I don’t know what I’m doing. Send help.)

Update: We’ve made the “Things I’m Great At” top available here!
Clint Barton isn’t great at many things, but he’s got a few skills nailed down — “I’M GREAT AT BOATS” became something of a rallying cry for my nears and dears during NYCC 2012, so I designed this tank in fond memory of. Flying a geek flag on the low-low? I’m totally profesh.
We’re channeling a full-on Hawkguy here, but with a stylin’ uptwist. We got the beanie and the smell test wifebeater and the Converse hightops — street level beat-em-ups with a blazer thrown on, and always with the purple.

Warning: This review has spoilers for the end of the previous issue along with some spoilers for this one. You should go read them first, bro. Especially #9, bro.
Like half the internet who reads this comic, I still haven’t recovered from the end of issue #9. Alas poor Grills, we knew him. I was expecting this issue to pick up right where the previous one left off. In a way, I was right but Matt Fraction and Francesco Francavilla did it in a way that I didn’t quite predict and it made for a lovely read.
There are two storylines going on in this issue. The first is Kate Bishop striking up a conversation with a man at one of her father’s parties. The other is the backstory of that said man, aka Kazi Kazimierczak aka the Clown. It wasn’t hard to see how this was going to go but Fraction’s writing and Francavilla’s art make this a great read even if that last page was like getting stabbed in the heart YET AGAIN. One of the great things about this issue is that it really does help illustrate the relationship between Clint and Kate. They work together and they’re friends but boy is it hard to put one simple label on their relationship and it’s part of what makes them (and this book) so gosh darn interesting.
Francavilla’s art was definitely a highpoint of this issue. Granted, there has yet to be an issue of Hawkeye where I didn’t like the art but Francavilla’s work here seemed especially noteworthy. I particularly loved the backstory pages for Kazi/the Clown. The page layouts work perfect for the story. I could read books with Francavilla drawing explosions or guns firing all day. I’m also a huge fan of the colouring on the page where Kazi leaves and Kate stops him. There’s something about it that just makes me go ‘wow’.
At the end of the day, I recommend that you go out and buy this comic but did you really expect me to say differently? And if you haven’t been reading Hawkeye so far, go out and buy yourself the first trade in honour of HAWKWEEK. You can thank us later.

What’s even better than one Kate Bishop? Join us as we continue our celebration of Hawkeye Week by highlighting the Hawk-related costumes that Bria and Lin have done over the past few years.
On the left, we have Bria’s Hawkingbird costume which was based on Kate Bishop’s first appearance in the Young Avengers, where she cobbled together a costume from pieces left behind by former Avengers. On the right, we have Lin’s Hawkeye II costume that Kate designed for herself, once she and the rest of the team decided to continue to be superheroes. Basically, we live the Kate Bishop appreciation life and strive to one day have all of her costumes done between the two of us!
And as a bonus round, you can also check out Bria’s Sailor Hawkeye based upon the Sailor Avengers artwork by Ann Marcellino.
