I accidentally read Volume 6 before this one but my review for 6 still holds for this one too.

hawkeye comics are phenomenal as always, but i was reading this to distract from a break-up i was writing, and the whole thing ended up being about one of clint's break-ups lmao

First of all, the art in this is beautiful. I found myself more intrigued with the backstory then with the main plotline at times. But overall, I really liked it and am looking forward to reading more of Lemire's Hawkeye.

Not too shabby of a Clint & Kate adventure, although I'm a little confused about the takeaway. Getting a look at Clint's backstory was interesting and I actually like the dreamy, sometimes eerie pastel colors those portions were done in. And the banter was fun, as ever! However, the present-day plot felt a little vague? I just didn't feel much substance behind it other than a way to emphasize what happened in Clint's past. Also, the last couple pages with that time jump felt SO STRANGE. I don't even know what to make of that.

This book was not next on my to-read list. But... I mean... HAWKEYE...

It was wonderful. From the opening panels to the last reveal it was stunning, both the artwork and the story. I love the relationship between the two Hawkeyes, how differently they look at the same situation. I cannot wait to see how this story plays out, I NEED the next one!!!

I like how this series is slowly revealing more and more of Clint’s past as we progress.

Most people’s lives are a series of millions of messy little moments strung together adding up to a messy little life.

Clint’s life, as usual, is a whirlwind and full of unexpected chaos. The trio of Weapon Children in this volume are a fascinating addition to that image. Fighting for what is viewed as the right thing to do versus the only viable option - letting them go. The battle between youthful hope and matured practical expectations between Kate and Clint.

The view into Clint’s time with the circus was really well executed. Having it in a different coloring style (more water color in essence) helped keep both trains of thought neatly separated. I never found it confusing, which is a huge plus. Grim reality that every situation will have its shitty aspects, especially them as kids.

Definitely interesting! I’m excited to see where this new plot segment with the kids goes, especially with a time skip to an even older Clint on the horizon.
