OMG did the moon fall out of the sky yesterday?
I haven't read his Hawkeye series or heard anything about it at all, but I despise Fraction with every fiber of my being for his ability to utterly destroy characters and put them through a very generic and distinctive patented Douchebaggifier (to steal a term from yesterday's AvX secret), so I'm utterly boggled at this news. Seriously? He actually wrote something good? I need to hear how this was accomplished.

Okay, I'm not actually that familiar with Fraction's work prior to this, so I don't have much of an opinion on him. Everyone was hyped about him, but I picked it up to see what the deal was with Clint.
And I love it.
It's only two issues in, I'll grant you, so it's early days yet. But each of those two issues is its own self-contained story (something I wish happened more often in superhero comics). Clint kind of reminds me of Harry Dresden (which may or may not be your cuppa, but every time I finish a Dresden Files book, I feel like I just had coffee and an eight-hour catch-up with an old buddy), just in his dialogue and motivations.
And then there's David Aja's art.
I could write sonnets.
Aja has such an amazing graphic sense, just this perfect ability to draw exactly what tells the story and conveys the character. I'm a sucker for artists who use precise spot-blacks over "billions of lines everywhere!" I'm a sucker for good flat coloring in comics too, over the "everything's SHINY!"
So far, it's a fresh, quiet, simple book about this guy who's...just this guy, y'know. And also Kate. Who is nifty. And there's a dog.
YMMV, of course, but if you can get part your loathing of Fraction (and I know the feeling. I still haven't read/watched Walking Dead because when it was getting popular I was still mad at Kirkman for Ultimate X-men), I highly recommend picking up the first issue and giving it a shot (ba-dum tsshh!). The only other mainstream book I'm enjoying this much these days is Daredevil (see above: Samnee can do no wrong).

Oh you know, I've actually been meaning to check out Daredevil for a while now because of the things I've heard, so I think I'll add that too ;)
