CBR reports.
Marvel Comics provided CBR with an exclusive reveal of the cover and solicitation information for Avengers #60, by writer Mark Russell and artist Greg Land.
You can see the cover for Avengers #60 below, which is by Javier Garrón. The image shows Natasha Romanoff and with her hands around Clint Barton/Hawkeye’s head, seemingly about to snap his neck. The coloring of their eyes indicates that they’re being possessed by a powerful psychic. The solicitation information, for its part, teases Hawkeye having to justify his existence in a world filled with people who have actual superpowers.
AVENGERS #60

A.X.E.: JUDGMENT DAY TIE-IN!The Avengers’ ace archer is back! As Judgment Day looms, Hawkeye is called upon to justify his existence. As a benchmark, Hawkeye must prove that he brings at least as much joy and usefulness to the world as a randomly chosen mailbox, which, admittedly, is a pretty high bar.
Avengers #60 is a tie-in to the upcoming Judgment Day crossover, which will pit the Avengers, X-Men and Eternals against each other…
…Speaking about Avengers #60, Russell said, “Any day you get to play in the Marvel sandbox is a good day, but I have such respect for Kieron Gillen’s work and his vision that getting to write an issue for this event was really special. As this is essentially a story about moral judgment, I wanted to write a Hawkeye story because I thought he would push back a little on the idea that anyone had a right to judge him, but at the same time force him to think a little more seriously about what he’s doing here on the planet. Which I suppose we all should do from time to time…”
Interesting.
