Hawkeye #10

Hawkeye #10 (2013) marks a pivotal moment in the series, with Francesco Francavilla’s striking art bringing a gritty, noir-inspired tension to Matt Fraction’s sharp storytelling. After the tragic loss of his family, Kazi is drawn into the Tracksuit Mafia’s orbit, and his path crosses with Kate Bishop in a moment that turns deadly—leading him to the rooftop where Grills meets his end. The cover by Francavilla captures the issue’s dark, suspenseful tone, with his signature moody visuals setting the stage for a story that’s as much about consequence as it is about action.
