I am veryyyy close to giving this volume and the first volume 5 stars because they're incredibly well done and I love the characters! (The main one, anyways) Clint and Kate make such a fantastic duo and reading their adventures is a blast. I thought moments of the narrative were kind of fractured, however; for instance, we never get to get a final answer on what was up with Cherry and that safe, and the clown dude story is also left hanging? But other than that stuff, everything from the dialogue, the artwork, the panels- all SO GOOD. I think the minimalistic style and color schemes are especially notable in these issues and really emphasize the story well. And lastly, that issue with Lucky was refreshingly nice, although slightly heartwrenching at the end.
Can't wait to keep reading!

I enjoyed this second installment much more than volume 1. Although I liked the fact that those earlier stories had more of a stand-alone quality, the stories in volume 2 fit together much more cohesively. With volume 1 it felt more like reading individual comics, whereas with volume 2 I felt like I was reading a whole book. And, of course, I adore the artwork. But the chapter that stole the show was Pizza Dog's solo adventure. That was a brilliantly told little tail - er, tale.

Making my way through a compilation of the entire Fraction/Aja Hawkeye run and I continue to love it!!! A Must for comics fans or people looking for a way to break in tbh.

Okay, this looks bad.

I am super duper loving this series. Everything about this series. Like, literally.

From Clint Barton to Kate Bishop to LUCKY to BRO to CREEPY CLOWN VILLAIN, this series is really doing it for me. And it's so simple, because Clint Barton is not a super person. He's a normal guy who drinks his coffee straight from the pot and gets his ass kicked on the regular.

Also he makes really bad life choices, but we can forgive him because he's a good guy otherwise.

Did I mention we get a Lucky POV volume? Because HAPPINESS.

NEXT!

The way colour is used in this series is just wonderful. Dog perspective sections are a delight.
