You remember the old viral story about an actual tribal war in Kenya in 2012 fought with bows and arrows

Because the two factions involved were not sanctioned by the government and had no easy access to firearms, and the construction of bows and arrows has traditional significance This surreal scene of people in modern clothes, T-shirts and jeans, launching volleys of arrows

But, you know, it may look like a LARP to an outsider but it's deadly earnest Photos from the ER showing people with arrows in their ribcage, a guy who died almost instantly from one getting him in the eyesocket

IIRC they gave comics Hawkeye a one liner acknowledging the apparent goofiness of his gimmick when he has to pull out his bow to get a mugger to back down while out of costume

I think I remember that line, but didn't know the context. Do you know the writer and artist?

Okay so, it's not in the run that was just starting at the time (Fraction and Aja, the #1 was in august of 2012 and the events happened that month according to Wikipedia). So it must have happened in another book, like an Avengers one or something. It's out of my territory now.

Yeah, I also do this sometimes. But I got a weird feeling that I knew that scene, so I don't know haha.

Anyway, that's the closest I found, and that's not really it. That's Hawkeye #3 which released in October right after the events ended.pic.twitter.com/W31easoeAT
