The first issue of Hawkeye MAX.

Transcript (unfinished)
A bird sits on top of a trash can in an alleyway. It looks around for a bit before flying off as a boy is tossed into the trashcan. The boy gets up but is then grabbed and tossed into a brick wall by a much larger boy.


 * Boy in Coat: Give it back, Barton!
 * Clint: I didn't take it!
 * Boy in Coat: Bullshit!

The boy kicks Clint in the gut. Clint falls to his side and the boy keeps kicking him. A boy, not much older than Clint, grabs the boy in the coat.


 * Red-Haired Boy: He said he didn't take your wallet! Get off him!
 * Boy in Coat: You believe that!?
 * Red-Haired Boy: He's my brother, I know him! If he took it, he would've admitted it by now!
 * Boy in Coat: Well, your brother's lying through his teeth!
 * Clint: I'm... not lying. I don't know where your stupid wallet is!

The boy in the coat grabs Clint.


 * Boy in Coat: Everyone here knows you're a thief, Barton!
 * Clint: ...Yeah... You know what? Yeah! I am a thief! But even I wouldn't take your wallet cause your poor as hell family isn't worth stealing from!

The boy tosses Clint to the ground and starts stepping on him. Clint curls up in a ball to protect himself.


 * Red-Haired Boy: I said...

Clint's brother tackles the boy in the coat.


 * Red-Haired Boy: Get the fuck off him!

Clint's brother pins the boy to the ground and punches him repeatedly. Clint's brother then turns to him.


 * Red-Haired Boy: Clint! Get out of here!
 * Clint: I can't leave you here, Barney! His friends're--
 * Barney: I don't care about his friends, I'll be fine! Now get out!

The boy grabs Barney but Barney continues punching him, some blood now on his fist. Clint, now terrified, runs away. Clint runs all the way to a billboard, which he sits on top of. He sits in silence for a bit before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a wallet, which he looks through.


 * Clint: Nothing. Guess I was right. I really shouldn't have bothered stealing from his poor ass family...

Clint sighs and heads back home, still terrified.
