Issue #21 was finally released in April 2015, five months after #20. And there were several lapses in the comics prior to that. Now instead of releasing (forever delayed) #22, Marvel Comics goes ahead and releases an "All-New" Hawkeye series? FAIL.
Who hires these bozos? You can't meet a deadline? Writer? Artist? Editor? Etc.? Did Kevin Smith write this book? Hello? Anyone home?
Tell ya what, Marvel, you can keep Hawkeye #22. My collection ended with #21.
With the Avengers movies riding a huge financial wave, you'd think they'd want to capitalize on one of the main characters by producing a consistent series. By the way, it also helps that when you have a Hawkeye comic, that you include that superhero (the Clint Barton version) instead of focusing on the "other" (lame) Hawkeye (Kate Bishop). And just why can't she get her own moniker anyway? So, Marvel, you can keep All-New Hawkeye, too, because I'm not buying into it when you can't even include the main character in his own book.
I've always loved Hawkeye and was a HUGE fan of him during the West Coast Avengers days, so I was excited when he was included in the silver screen version of the Avengers and got his own series. Sadly, while Marvel Studios seems to know what to do with Hawkeye, it seems Marvel Comics doesn't.
