There's a new Ronin in town and he's set on destroying the Hood, a criminal with connections that manage to keep him out of jail. If you’ve not read it, I recommend Fraction/Aja’s Hawkeye run instead. It was really boring to read, poorly written, conceived and executed, and a thorough waste of time. I didn’t like anything about Hawkeye: Freefall. And the ending is rushed, predictable and anticlimactic. Multiple times he kills people he needs information from so he has to find other people to get that information from - we’re meant to fear someone this astoopid? It’s like Rosenberg knows nobody cares about this character so he introduces a better character - Bullseye - towards the end for Hawkeye to have a slightly more interesting (though it isn’t) final fight with. I don’t dislike Otto Schmidt’s art but it’s too cartoony to sell the seriousness of one of the supporting character’s deaths in the final act. Hawkeye has a pointless subplot about Night Nurse because, hoho, Clint’s bad at relationships, and a rubbish hacker kid stereotypical character is introduced for Hawkeye to have some sort of stake in the outcome or something - it’s so contrived. Hawkeye’s motivation for fucking with the Hood was equally easy - I guess because Hood’s a crook and that’s it? It adds to the blase feeling I had when reading this - I couldn’t have cared less because Rosenberg is so bad at setting up a meaningful motivation or any kind of relationship between the characters. The explanation Hawkeye gives is a lazy piece of exposition to wave away the dumb plotting. The Ronin crap, the Life Model Decoy, the Skrull - all of it in service to what? Why does Hawkeye need Hood to think it’s not him ripping him off? He’s still fucking with the Hood anyway as Hawkeye so what does the pointless misdirection give him? It’s just lots of page-filling nonsense as more popular Marvel characters pop up to ask him if he’s Ronin or not. Otto Schmidt goes from drawing Green Arrow at DC to drawing the Marvel bow and arrows character with the always terrible Matthew Rosenberg writing to produce the worst Hawkeye comic I’ve read yet: Freefall. Ronin is back and causing strife for the villain of the week, The Hood (a nobody wearing a Doctor Strange-esque cape).

I read comics my whole life, so I just naturally fell back into another medium that is marginalized and hard to make a living in." I stopped having any sort of business with music, any involvement. I was resigned to thinking, if I’m going to be involved in music forever, I’m going to hate it for the rest of my life. Eventually the music business, probably in a similar way to comics, will just start to break your heart, and I realized one day that I kind of hated music. I did everything in music that you can do that doesn’t involve having musical ability. I ran a record label for 10 years, a small indie punk label. When I was 17, I hopped in a band’s van and I went on tour for a summer, and that was it, that was what I wanted to do.
My parents are writers and my brother is a writer, and I resisted that as long as I could. Hawkeye's mission and Ronin's secret plans will set them on a collision course that only one of them will walk away from.There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name After a clash with the Hood ends badly, Hawkeye gives himself a new mission that will place him in the crosshairs of one of New York's most dangerous villains. When a mysterious and ruthless new Ronin starts tearing a destructive path through the city, suspicion immediately falls on Hawkeye, but Clint has more to worry about than who’s wearing his old costume.
