I was a little surprised at how much I liked Old Man Hawkeye #1. Maybe it was because I was not expecting much out of it or was not too hyped about it, but it was a fun read. Although, I am still wondering what the real endgame is here? Hawkeye obviously lives at the end. It was a solid start for this twelve issue series. The art is fantastic and, even if you do not like the story, the art is beautiful enough just to stare at for a long time. All in all,Old Man Hawkeye #1 was a good start to a series I never knew I wanted and has me onboard for now. Read Full Review

Old Man Hawkeye is a book to keep an eye on. Read Full Review
This is a solid start, a book whose opening salvo appears to be on target - it just remains to be seen whether or not Old Man Hawkeye has enough uniqueness in its story trajectory to truly hit the bullseye. Read Full Review
Old Man Hawkeye is a great start to the series, setting the tone and where Hawkeye and other characters are. I'm really excited to see where this series goes and I like the idea of being in a different universe, since it throws all the rules out the window and can tell a different story. Read Full Review
While I think 12 issues is excessive for OMH, this limited series starts off strong. Let's hope for more cameos and details about the fall of the heroes. Read Full Review
Old Man Hawkeye #1 is a fantastic start to a promising twelve issue series featuring an intriguing story by Sacks, with some stunning dystopian artwork from Checchetto and Mossa. I'm intrigued to see where this goes following the reveal at the end and can't wait for Clint to explore more of the alternative universe that I loved so much in Old Man Logan. Read Full Review
The Old Man Logan universe remains one of Marvel's more popular alternate realms, and Old Man Hawkeye #1 suggests that there's still ground left to cover. Even without the original creative team, this first issue does an excellent job of recapturing the vibe of the original series. However, it doesn't do quite enough to differentiate itself or establish a clear conflict that can sustain a 12-issue comic. Read Full Review
I'm interested, but not overly pumped just yet. The villains are more interesting than anything else. Read Full Review
This is more worthy of a follow-up to Old Man Logan than anything Marvel has published since the Secret Wars mini. Read Full Review
While "Old Man Hawkeye" #1 captures the environment of the original series, as a prequel it still has a lot to do to prove it is a story worth telling. Read Full Review
Calling in themes of aging and legacy in the face of superhero servitude, Old Man Hawkeye is a solid debut, but one that might excel further if it lets Barton do his own thing. Read Full Review
The first issue of Old Man Hawkeye doesn't quite fight its way out of the shadow of Millar & McNiven's original Old Man Logan. Unless the storytelling tightens up significantly, the prudent course is going to be re-reading OML rather than following the pre-remix. The compelling post-apocalyptic visuals earn this series a second look, though, and lightning may yet strike twice. Read Full Review
A first issue must establish a story, but Old Man Hawkeye #1 only provides a character and world. Perhaps this mistake will be rectified in #2, but that will only matter if reader's remain interested without this key ingredient. Read Full Review
A very strong debut for this prequel, you can buy it.
Buy this book, the last page Reveal is worth it 100%
Found it surprisingly good!
Five years before the original Old Man Logan, Hawkeye's failing eyesight inspires him to do … something heroic. This issue doesn't have time to start providing details. And that's the crux of the problem; this comic spends so much time assuring us that we are really no foolin' back in the OML Wasteland that it doesn't have time to get a story going. Marco Checchetto's art is gorgeous, but its splash-heavy style also messes with the pace and further limits the amount of ground that can be covered in 20 pages.
We all totally asked for this. Okay, maybe *someone* did. Not me.
