Hawkeye Squared: from Comics to Disney+

Graphic Policy Radio

Hawk-guy John Arminio guests host our discussion of the iconic Hawkeye comics series created by Matt Fraction and David Aja AND the new Hawkeye TV series on Disney+. With Arminio are guests Scott Thorough and Kat Overland. They also get into how to create a comic that has a real sense of place, what New York smells like, Clint Barton's terrible personal life, and Kate Bishop's LA vacation with... Elliot Gould?! PLUS: John learns how to pronounce "David Aja" and everyone gives some great recommendations if Hawkeye has you hungry for more amazing comics! Scott is a Brooklyn-born social worker currently based in Baltimore. He is a brilliant musician and podcaster and can be heard on the Zebras In America Podcast with co-host Marcus Pinn.
