Hawkeye & Mockingbird was a comic book ongoing series published by Marvel Comics starring superheroes Hawkeye and Mockingbird.
The series launched in June 2010 as part of Marvel Comic's Heroic Age by writer Jim McCann and artist David López.Hawkeye & Mockingbird is the creative team's first ongoing series for Marvel, but they have previously collaborated on the 2009 miniseries New Avengers: The Reunion. In an interview with Comic Book Resources, McCann stated that the themes of the book are "responsibility, trust, and overcoming devastating blows". López describes the artistic style as "an evolution", stating "I've been sketching for months and I've got a clearer feel of the mood we want for the book. Jim is giving me plenty of cool things to draw. We've got so much gasoline, powder, trick arrows, staff action and destruction of property that we're going to need new insurance – and at the same time, it's emotionally intense. It's a very solid book, balanced".
In October 2010 it was reported that the series will be put on hold after issue #6 for the duration of a special crossover called Widowmaker, which sees the comic's two main characters teaming up with the Black Widow. It was previously expected that the series would resume regular publication following the conclusion of the crossover. However, Marvel's Executive Editor Tom Brevoort explained, "After Widowmaker, Hawkeye & Mockingbird won't be coming back in its current form. However, there will be a project following up on the events of Widowmaker that will hopefully scratch your Hawkeye & Mockingbird itch". Issue #6 set the stage for the four issue miniseries Widowmaker by Hawkeye & Mockingbird creators Jim McCann and David López and the Black Widow creative team of writer Duane Swierczynski and artist Manuel Garcia, which begins in December 2010. Widowmaker comes to a conclusion in January with the book's aftermath setting up a new status quo for both Hawkeye and Mockingbird. About the future of the comic book McCann stated, "I can tell you that David Lopez and I are not done working together, and the story that I've plotted, planned out and wanted to tell after 'Widowmaker' is still going to be told. I just can't say how, why or where".
