The two Hawkeyes and Bullseye amble over the last obstacles preventing their showdown. Storytelling standards are high, but the art is stiff and the words edge toward action-movie cliché. I agree that Wasteland Kate Bishop is an underwhelming and insufficiently-aged presence. It's frustrating that her participation in a pointless gas-gathering battle is prioritized evenly with (or even possibly ahead of) Clint's confrontation with Songbird. This issue does a decent job of carrying us along, but it misses two big opportunities (the Winter Soldier fight along with Songbird) to become memorable in its own right.
This is a review for the whole series. This is a mildly entertaining story with good art, but there are several things very wrong with this book:

Clint is still strong as fuck, has the body of a bodybuilder and can jump like an Olympic athlete. Besides, they don't sound like elderly people, they still talk like a bunch of millenials. It pulls me out of the story.
- This is completely derivative from Millar's story. It follows the same topics --only worse. Besides showing post-apocalyptic versions of various Marvel characters, he brings nothing new to the ta more
