Review of
Avengers Spotlight Starring Hawkeye 32,
comic written by Steve Gerber.
Three out of five stars
The deadly vigilante Terminizer is killing bad people.
Someone is killing the criminals in the city and
leaving a symbol that is a T in a circle. There is also a professional assassin
that tried to kill Hawkeye and failed. Included in the plot is a deadly villainess
that is unscrupulous behind the attempt to waste Hawkeye. The Terminizer and
Hawkeye are both prowling the streets fighting the criminals. Hawkeye stops
them and leaves, Terminizer follows him and guns them down. This continues with
Hawkeye seemingly oblivious to his deadly follower. In many ways Hawkeye is
depicted as clueless about the drug trade and its’ consequences.
There is a
second story starring the super soldier U. S. Agent, a character very similar
to Captain America, right down to his shield. A mass murderer is killing
illegal immigrants as they cross the border from Mexico to the U. S. After an
initial misunderstanding with a group called Sanctuary, he learns that there is
something rotten within the U. S. Border Patrol. Not one to stand down, U. S.
Agent challenges the local leader of the Border Patrol, only to learn that
there is a cancer within the agency.
The second
story is much better than the first, nothing worse than a superhero that stops
the bad guys and leaves them unconscious so that one that is worse can kill
them. This plot line is mediocre at best. Such an event should only happen
once.
