I liked this okay, but definitely not as much as other Marvel stuff I've read. The art is not my favorite. I like it a little less sketchy and a little more colorful. The story was fine, and it kept my interest, but I think it was pretty forgettable.

I’ve been hearing good things about this run for years, glad I finally got around to reading the first volume! I know absolutely nothing about Hawkeye (either of them), but this volume endeared me to both characters pretty quickly. I especially loved the first three issues with the art by Aja. Hard to believe the Young Avengers issue at the end was also written by Matt Fraction though, the quality of the writing just totally fell off.

Snappy dialogue. Humorous moments. Retro-old-schooly style art. I'm in.

I can acknowledge that this is good, it just wasn't my cup of tea, which is why 3 stars. A middle ground that takes into account both my likes and the quality of book. There were points where I did chuckle a bit, but overall I found it hard to keep my attention towards this book.

Tells a great street level story of an ex-Avenger trying to live life. Beautiful art style. Great writing. Nothing will beat the scene where they are in the red camaro, while Kate leans out the window shooting arrows and the Tracksuit Mafia. Also was super cool to see it transitioned into the Hawkeye Disney+ show.

I don't knowing was alright..I guess I am still not that into comic books. I liked the young avengers comic at the end though. I have the next one so I will probably read it. I don't know why I wish I liked comic books more...
