• Who could forget that time when Clint Barton let his neighbor's kids watched a holiday cartoon at his place?
•  At long last THIS ISSUE is pretty much the cartoon they all watch. YOU'RE WELCOME.
•  A very special holiday HAWKGUY that at long last lets legendary letterer CHRIS ELIOPOLOUS flex his astounding cartooning muscles in our pages. Matt and Matt do their regular jobs though. Maybe David will letter it? Probably not.

    Hawkeye #18 is another strong issue. Despite the irregular numbering and shipping schedule, this book is great. Im sad to see Kates solo adventures come to an end, but I cant wait to see what happens as she returns to New York. Read Full Review

    Team Hawkguy continues to create one of the most unique books on the shelves, changing readers' perceptions of what superhero comics can accomplish. Hawkeye is one of my favorite titles on my pull list, and once again I'm impressed. Read Full Review

    A fun read, a hilarious read, and a terrifying read all in one. It stands alone as it's own story, yet also helps to set up the next chapter of Clint Barton's. I'm extremely impressed how with every passing issue, Kate Bishop is being made into a strong, stand alone character. Go get this from a local comic shop today. Read Full Review

    Fraction and Wu tell another wonderful chapter in Kate Bishop's LA adventure. What more could we ask for? A follow-up to the fate of Barney Barton? Sure, I guess. But when the Kate Bishop chapters are this damn good, I'm not complaining. Read Full Review

    IGN - Melissa Grey Mar 26, 2014

    Wu's art, coupled with Matt Hollingworth's colors, creates a tightly organized visual landscape that tells a story through tightly packed panels and a well-designed palette. While there is a visual coherence between both Hawkeye's installments, there's something undeniably Kate in these pages. If you've been lagging on picking up this side of the title, now might be a good time to hop on board. Read Full Review

    "Hawkeye" #18 is another big success, to the point that I don't want Kate's time in Los Angeles to (presumably) come to a close before too much longer. It's fun, it's creepy, it's smart, and I'm hooked. Once again, a winner. Read Full Review

    Comic Vine - Gregg Katzman Mar 26, 2014

    HAWKEYE #18 begins to really ramp up Kate's story in the City of Angels. It may not be as powerful as what's going down with Clint over on the East Coast, but it's still thoroughly engaging and remains well-written. Fraction's able to make huge strides in the story without neglecting the laughs or fun, and Wu's character work fills these scenes with so much personality. I can't wait to see the follow-up to the cliffhanger with Clint, but in the meantime, this is a legitimately enjoyable read and has me curious to see where Kate's story will take her next.

    One Quest - Chris Cobb Mar 28, 2014

    Issue 18 feels like it's really bringing things together, that have been happening since Kate headed out to LA, and that it's starting to wrap up her time there as well. I'm not going to lie, I'll miss the adventures on the west coast, perhaps Kate will move back and for the West Coast Young Avengers? Probably not, but really the characters that have been introduced to support her have just been fun. Read Full Review
