Can Rick Remender do no wrong?! Well, of course he can, but in the short time I have been reading his work on “X-Force” and “Venom,” he has hit a surprising number of home runs, with this issue of “Secret Avengers” being his latest success. This is one of the most elegantly constructed one shots I can remember reading. The characterization is spot-on as it grows out of Hawkeye’s hero worship of Captain America, a concept that has been established by other writers. Cap subjects Hawkeye to an unannounced try-out for leadership of the “Secret Avengers” while they are on a mission in a fictional foreign country. When Cap finds Hawkeye wanting, he really lights into the archer, telling him, among other things, “Weakness of will runs in [your] family.” When I read that, I thought, “Whoa, that kind of meanness is not very like Steve Rogers.” Then on the next page, Cap reverts to form by admitting to himself that he was inappropriately tough on Clint. Hawkeye proves himself in the end by stealthily saving Cap from some villains, but here’s the kicker. Try as he might, Clint Barton cannot escape his hero worship of Captain America. Cap, “Inception”-like, plants an idea in Clint’s head that the archer repeats as though he had thought of it himself. At the end of the comic, Hawkeye reiterates a piece of wisdom that Captain America had imparted to him earlier in the story, “That’s the thing about being a leader, Steve … you have to find … approval in yourself.” Besides the great character development, Remender also works in some realistic politics concerning how the rest of the world does not appreciate the U.S. throwing its weight around in international affairs.
Patrick Zircher does an excellent job on the art for this comic. Hawkeye and Captain America are often falling, leaping, flying though the air, and this action looks realistic. The two blond heroes are in civilian clothes at one point, and Zircher takes care to differentiate them enough so the reader can tell them apart.
