Another great issue. This one's extra heavy on the comedy, but that's alright with us, because it's really good!! Read Full Review
Otto Schmidt's art is the perfect complement to the tone and pace of this story. The style is light, fun and full of energy as well as beautifully detailed and thrilling. Read Full Review
Consistent action and humor deliver in the newest issue. Worthwhile guest stars that will lead into next issue's confrontation, and how Ronin is able to do what he does makes for a fun issue to keep this mini-series hot and exciting. Read Full Review
The twists and turns keep coming, there are laughs-a-plenty, plenty of cameos from other well known characters, so many reasons to keep coming back issue after issue. The art perfectly matches the tone of the book and makes it an essential if you’re after a good time. Read Full Review
Hawkeye: Freefall #3 confirms that there is no logical reason you should not be reading this series. It is fun and dramatic and keeps the reader on their toes throughout. The art is a visual splendor to look at and fits the tone of the series perfectly. Since the mystery is out that Hawkeye is Ronin, Clint's life has gotten a lot harder. Can he trust a former henchman of The Hood to keep his secret? Why would Clint Barton, the Avenger, do this, and exactly how is he doing this? Find out in Hawkeye: Freefall #3. Read Full Review
Hawkeye's plans have always been connected by mere threads in Freefall, but they're starting to fall apart more than ever in the third issue. It's a refreshing change for a character who always feigns being so composed because it allows more of his personality to break through the exterior to show a more contemplative and vulnerable version of the character.

Rosenberg's scenarios are a wonderful match for Schmidt's scratchy linework " his figures are so expressive and nimble throughout. Read Full Review
"Hawkeye: Freefall #3" is yet another great installment in Matthew Rosenberg's take on Marvel's Mauve Marksmen. Read Full Review
Taking this book for what it is, a fun book that can be serious when it wants to be. It is worth still reading until Rosenberg completely loses me. But I can't say that will be any time soon. Since I can't judge this book by what I think may or may not happen in the next issue, Rosenberg still has my money. Read Full Review
It’s just... I think I’m falling in love with you, Hawkeye Freefall.
I really love this book. I really like that Rosenberg is bringing out both sides of Hawkeye's character. Matt Fraction's run made him stupid and while that led to some fun stories, Hawkeye is very capable. You have to be when you've led entire teams and you're one of the longest standing members of the Avengers. So, it's great to see that harder edge of the character again, and hopefully this will lead to more writers not just falling back on Fraction's interpretation because it's the popular one.
Hawkeye is awesome. This issue really makes Clint seem like a badass. I’m glad Rosenberg has found a way to make Clint both very capable and cool while also being the lovable idiot from Fractions run. This issue really frames the first 2 differently and I actually went back to check a couple scenes out again.
Otto Schmidt is quickly becoming one of my favorite artists, his work has so much character and charm.
I really hope this book gets an extended run
Prelude:
Hawkeye: Freefall has been pretty great so let's see how Rosenberg and Schmidt go on this issue.
The Good:
Clint is always great at dating.
Interesting idea for Clint and how he's trying to protect it.
Things are heating up.
Loved Schmidt's art.
The Bad:
Nothing.
Conclusion:
Another freaking great issue. I just love this series so much.
3 issues in and it is solid across the board. Otto Schmidt is so good, he needs to be getting exclusivity offers yesterday. The story is really cool and fast paced, and the cameos are awesome. Definitely worth your time.
Fury is a creep, and Clint is great with women.
Still very fun to read, strengthened by strong artwork by Otto Schmidt. I like the twists that continue from the last issue, and I love where it's going with Clint. It's so watered down and basic, which makes the character very relatable. Love what the next issue is teasing too.
This one was a lot of fun and while none of them have been bad its definitely found its niche since issue one. Not serious and just an enjoyable ride with a tone of humor
Clint reveals how he's being Ronin, adopts the hacker from the last issue, and piles up the sitcom-y complications. The art remains sketchy but strong. The script lost me with the lame explanation of the dual identity and it never really won me back. The prose seems a bit clumsier than the previous issues.
Did... did Clint just flat-out murder that guy? Mark Gruenwald is turning over in his grave.
