Hawkeye #11/Pizza Dog #1 Review
BOOK OF THE WEEK
Guys, i can't tell you enough how good these past 11 hawkguy issues have been. before i delve into this particular issue here's a quick run through on what the book is about. what does hawkeye do on his days he's not avenging. drinking coffee mostly.
well, Matt Fraction's writing differently guided the issue through our small tale. it was David Aja's absolute masterful art that sold the issue of how a superheroes dog sees the world
this almost was a silent book the way the panels flowed, also, dogs don't speak english. but they can understand a few keywords, which was illustrated in a great way which all words scratch out but a few words (mostly pizza(this dog loves pizza))
but what sold this book to me was David Aja's way of showing how a dog thinks and processes information, using icons to show what a dog smells and hears. how he's able to connect that to certain people he's familiar with.
i think what did me in on this book was when he faced his former owners who were abusive to poor pizza dog (his actual name is lucky, but his superhero name is totes pizza dog). seeing a dog know and recognize his former tormentors was great. but him attacking and be able to get revenge by pushing them off a ledge is something that i like to think ever rescue pet has wanted to do.
run do not walk to your nearest computer and buy these issues. sure you could download them. but seriously this book deserves your money!
