C'mon! How much more 70's can you get?<br /><br />Yeah, now that you mention it Comicsfan, Clint's identity switches so seem a bit random and silly.dbutler16https://www.blogger.com/profile/00046066729353639991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-42661936716803496092014-06-15T10:14:43.846-04:002014-06-15T10:14:43.846-04:00A little loose-goosey detective work shows an inte...A little loose-goosey detective work shows an interesting coincidence. At virtually the same time Hawkeye received this abrupt identity switch, Green Arrow appeared with his whole new beard, costume and general identity makeover. A link? Comic professionals sharing boasts and bets at the local pub? Any cause & effect would require more diligent detective work than I'm willing to invest.<br /><br />On a personal level, my first exposure ever to the Avengers as a kid was with Clint as Goliath. "Hawkeye" meant nothing to me. The return of the archer was a real downer for me. On the one hand, I love me giant characters. On the other hand, I'm an avid hobby archer and so bow & arrow characters give me a severe sprain from eye rolling. My suspension of disbelief snaps like Hawkeye's bow string in this entry.Murrayhttp://www.murraylindsay.ca/author_site.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-91760648959904015042013-09-21T08:00:16.537-04:002013-09-21T08:00:16.537-04:00Joe, I agree.

The reasoning for it was that it had belonged to the archer who had been part of the sideshow troupe that had come across Hawkeye after he crash-landed. I guess Thomas felt that simply suiting him up as he was amounted to bringing him back to square one.Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-2781825193293125562013-09-20T12:34:27.971-04:002013-09-20T12:34:27.971-04:00And that was one hideous costume they brought him ...And that was one hideous costume they brought him back in.
