The volume includes classic clashes with foes like the Enchantress and the Executioner, as well as team-ups with the Black Widow and the debut of Mockingbird, tracing Hawkeye's evolution from a cocky marksman to a steadfast Avenger.
Hawkeye Epic Collection #1 (2021) kicks off with "Hawkeye, the Marksman!" — a pivotal tale where Iron Man’s life hangs in the balance after a critical injury forces him to remain encased in his armor. When Tony Stark’s secret is threatened and Pepper is taken, Hawkeye steps in as both adversary and reluctant ally, leading to a tense confrontation at Stark’s factory. With Stan Lee’s sharp storytelling and Don Heck’s dynamic art bringing the action to life, this collection captures a defining moment in the early Marvel Universe, complete with Mark Gruenwald and Brett Breeding’s striking cover.
In "Hawkeye, the Marksman!" from Hawkeye Epic Collection #1 (2021), a carnival marksman with a sharp eye and a restless heart takes aim at a new life as a hero—only to find himself tangled in a web of mistaken identity and sudden danger. When a clash with the police pushes him into the shadow of the Black Widow, he’s drawn into a mission that forces him to confront his own limits, even as he’s asked to strike at a fellow Avenger.
In "Suspected of Murder!", Tony Stark is trapped in his Iron Man armor, unable to remove it after a life-threatening injury—forcing him to hide his identity while evading suspicion. With Happy and Pepper convinced Iron Man is behind Stark’s disappearance, the situation escalates when Hawkeye attacks the factory and takes Pepper hostage, leaving Stark to fight a desperate battle on multiple fronts.
Hawkeye and the new Black Widow go on the offensive, turning their skills against Iron Man in a high-stakes clash that leaves the armored hero victorious—yet not quite in control. As Tony Stark returns to Pepper, their reunion is quiet but charged, and Happy watches, quietly realizing how far he still has to go.
In "Death-Throws," William Cross is pulled from custody by the enigmatic criminal collective of the same name, setting off a chain of debt and desperation that leads them to target Hawkeye as a ransom prize. With Cross now a pawn in their scheme, Hawkeye and Mockingbird must navigate the trap while Cap stands ready to intervene—leaving the future of Bernie and Steve’s relationship uncertain as their paths diverge.
