Old Man Hawkeye #9

A weathered, bald Hawkeye dominates this striking cover from Marco Checchetto, his scarred face marked by a glowing red targeting reticle as he lunges forward through a swirl of playing cards — each one bloodstained and bearing imagery of Marvel villains and heroes. The scattered cards add an air of grim reckoning to the composition, suggesting a man who has lived long enough to know exactly which scores remain unsettled. Checchetto's detailed linework and moody color palette make this 2018 issue a genuinely compelling visual package.
