2.5/5.0That they dropped what Fraction set up just to do their own thing was not a good decision. The watercolor art and the barebones art doesn't mingle that well here, either. And that old Hawkeye plotline was just filler? And redoing the Katie-Clint conflict? Because I didn't see all that playing any role in the end. Still, if you've read upto the previous volume it's best if you read this and judge for yourself.

Six issues of meandering, woe is me, Hawkeye. When did Hawkeye start acting like Peter Parker? Very little happens in the book. I did not like the art. The flashforwards looked like they were drawn in crayon. The only redeeming part of the book were Kate's flashbacks to when she found out about her dad. Perez adopts a different style for the flashbacks which I think works.

A fun ending to an incredibly fun series.

Rough in both writing and art, it's an unfitting end to the 2012-2016 run. Like the previous volume, it flits back and forth in time, with the flashforward sections looking like first drafts due to the scratchy line work that doesn't bother to erase the guideline anatomy sketch layer. The plot isn't captivating either, and another Kate / Clint argument is a cheap way to create conflict. It's not a gentle decline, but a slap in the face for fans who have stuck with this iteration of Hawkeye. That...

This is the first Hawkeye book in years that I haven’t enjoyed - damn you, Jeff Lemire! SPOILSIES AHOY! Continuing the storyline from the last book uninterrupted (wow, what an impact Secret Wars had, eh?), Kate’s not happy that they handed over the Project Communion kids to SHIELD leading to a rift in her and Clint’s friendship. There’s a future flash-forward storyline showing what would have happened if the Hawkeyes had broken up their partnership and a flashback origin story for Kate. Oy, this...

Better than Lemire's first Hawkeye volume. This one has more of a focus on Kate, and I loved that. It was great seeing America Chavez again, too.

Own this in single issue. I ended up enjoying the ending of this run. Still miss the Matt Fraction and David Aja run but did enjoyed this run. I am looking forward for more Hawkeye in the future.

Kate and Clint's relationship has been strained ever since they handed the kids from Project Communion over to SHIELD. Now the kids have been kidnapped, and across several different timelines (Kate's past, 30 years in the future, and the present), they must repair the Hawkeye team in order to rescue the kids from both SHIELD and Hydra.While the 30 years in the future thing was kind of fun, it didn't make much sense to me in the long run. I liked the parallels of Kate's childhood mirrored with th...

“I only caught a glimpse of him. But he was amazing. Then the others came. And they were amazing, too. I mean, of course they were amazing. They’re the Avengers. But they aren’t like him. They all have super-powers and armor and stuff. But him… all he had was a bow and arrow. Amazing.” This made me happy, if for nothing more than the appearance of obscure villains and Avenger cameos. Even the original Hawkeye suit made an appearance! We see Madador, The Mandarin, Marvel Boy, Captain A

Following up an iconic run on a fictional character is never easy, just ask Roger Moore. The dude’s been ridiculed for years for his “dandy-ish” take on 007 compared to the guy’s guy Bond – Sean Connery. So when Jeff Lemire was asked to continue on with Matt Fractions phenomenal run on Hawkeye, he probably wet himself a couple of times in fearful anticipation.The caption there might be hard to read, but it mentions adult diapers, so....His sins pile up, starting with Marvel’s re-numbering this v...

So this finishes up Hawkeye. I read Factions run in about a weeks time. It took me 2 years to finish Lemire's so guess that shows what I thought huh? I'll be honest though I didn't hate Jeff's run. It's still solid. Volume 5 had some great flashback moments with WONDERFUL art and some cool ideas with Clint. This volume is the other side of things. Getting the past behind Kate who is the other Hawkeye in the tag team here. This time we learn of a future that could be and it's depressing and the t...

The way in which marvel have numbered these issues and volumes is confusing as heck so i'll try and explain. They issued these as 1-6 even though it's more like issues 7-11 as this volume directly follows on from volume 5, does that make sense? I just feel as though this confusing shitty numbering might put people off reading it, or believe this is a new volume starting from issue one, when it's not, you'll be hella confused if you start with this. Okay onto the actual volume itself, i love Kat...

So, I just found out this is the end for Lemire and Pérez's Hawkeye. Well, their run has been short and sweet, and this volume wraps up all of the storylines they started in the previous one. The first three issues of the book tell a flash-forward story about future Hawkeyes. This was a weaker arc of the two, mostly because of the resolution. (view spoiler)[(the future just gets cancelled and rewritten in the end, so basically what's the point) (hide spoiler)] In the second half of the book, tho...

3.5 starsThis comic used to be funnier. Maybe they should have brought back the thugs that call everyone 'bro". On second thought, I was really sick of those guys, so maybe not. The person I'm not sick of is Kate Bishop, even if she was pretty surly in this volume. It was good to get some of her backstory, read about the first time she met Clint, and to learn what led her to become Hawkeye too. It was a little painful to get there, but once the rescue mission was in full swing, the book got pret...

3,5 stars(view spoiler)[Liked Kate's origins story much more than Clint's one and the Project Communion storyline was nice.And was nice to see Clint & Barney buddies again after Barney's betrayal in Fraction & Aja run... Brotherly love triumphed over all or Lamire just forget that? Mah.Matador in Kate's story was just the top! I love Daredevil's Z-series-old villains!

I'm not even trying to be objective here at all ;) This now concluded Hawkeye series by Fraction/Aja/Lemire/Perez/.../ is the main reason I got into reading comics in my mid 20s because of their light-hearted, humorous but still emotionally haunting and sometimes depressing vibe they constantly deliver. Is Vol. 6 as good as Fraction's best effort? Maybe not, but Lemire's storyline about the inhuman kids was a great base to dive even deeper into the relationship between the two Hawkeyes and Kate'...

I don't mean to hate on Lemire. He's a great writer but I don't like his version of Kate Bishop. She's stubborn and bratty while in Fraction's run she was stubborn, sassy and funny. She also took over this issue and it made me kinda mad. I like her but I want this to be about both Hawkeyes, not just one. The last two issues were better and fun, thanks to Barney and Clint. I don't know what's going to happen next but I hope it's better than this. I was going to give this a 3 star rating but the a...

This was so good! Who would have ever thought a Hawkeye graphic novel would make me cry. Stupid Clint Barton...

Lemire brings his big beautiful heart to what they are calling "All New Hawkeye." Though they started calling it that at volume #5 when Lemire took over, and here in volume 6 we have the art split between the trademark look that was present in the first 4 volumes led by the writing pen of Fraction, and a new style (for the future scenes) that nicely suits Lemire's writing.Sound confusing?I am merely laughing at how they can't seem to make up their minds behind backing Lemire as taking this in a

A great framing device leads so some great emotions and surprises.World: The art is good, it's different from Aja and is a style all it's own. I loved the water colors of the last arc and now we get more of it (reminds of me Batman Hush). The world building is good, Lemire and Co. are building from their last arc and giving us one plot device and one piece of the world to play with the relationship between the Hawkeyes. Simple and effective.Story: The pacing is great, the tone is wonderful and t...
