# hawkeye # jessica drew is not hank pym redux

Is Matt Fraction ever going to address Spider-Woman's abuse of Hawkeye in 9 or should I just add him to the list of writers whose work I should avoid because they gloss over abuse?

brevoortformspring:

I went back just now and looked up that scene again. I can tell that this is something that is important to you, but I have to tell you, reading that book again, I don’t think that Jessica slapping Clint twice in that context constitutes an abuse that requires any additional addressing.

You may feel differently about this, of course, and should do whatever you need to do to come to peace with it.
