When he is not fighting alongside the Avengers, Clint Barton spends his time protecting a Brooklyn apartment building from a local organized crime syndicate known as the "Tracksuit Mafia." This collection follows Barton as he navigates the mundane struggles of civilian life, including fixing his satellite dish and rescuing a neighborhood dog. He acts as a mentor to Kate Bishop, his younger protégé and fellow archer, as they investigate underground auctions and recover stolen digital files containing sensitive information about Clint’s past.
Readers who enjoy character-driven stories found outside typical superhero battles will appreciate this grounded perspective on a career athlete’s physical and mental fatigue. This volume appeals to those interested in innovative visual storytelling, as it uses minimalist color palettes and complex diagrammatic layouts. Readers walk away with a specific look at how a non-powered individual manages the domestic fallout of a high-risk lifestyle while balancing a messy personal history and the responsibilities of community leadership.
