From its opening Crazy Horse and Theodore Roosevelt epigraphs, Ultimates #5 has incisive sociopolitical commentary, but Frigeri excels at blocking out action scenes using inset panels to demonstrate each of Charli's trick arrows. Read Full Review

The Ultimates #5 works best as a solid argument as to why Hawkeye is a good contributor to the team and a necessary member given his attitude. This issue establishes he kind of thinking these heroes need to succeed in a world where they are the villains. Read Full Review

As a team-up comic book between Captain America and the new Hawkeye, The Ultimates #5 succeeds in what its goal was. Ultimate Hawkeye is put over as a strong new member to The Ultimates, while also showing great chemistry with Captain America. Though the lack of a superhero team vibe continues to cause The Ultimates come across as a series that is not hitting its full potential. Read Full Review

The Ultimates #5 introduces a cool new version of Hawkeye to join the fledgling group of heroes. Unfortunately, writer Deniz Camp can't get out of his own way, going overboard on the soapboxing instead of giving you a complete picture of Hawkeye's personality. What could have been one of the stronger variants in the Ultimate universe is squandered. Read Full Review

This book just won’t stop being amazing. Ultimate Hawkeye may be my favorite Ultimate yet! It was awesome character introduction by Deniz Camp. They’re confident, snarky, political, & a total bad@$$. LOVE THEM.

Given their worldview, I thought it was insanely smart to juxtapose their introduction vis-à-vis a showdown with Captain America. While Cap stands for so much that is good, he is still a symbol of America itself, which has an awful history as it relates to the treatment of country’s indigenous people. It could have become an exaggerated pontification, but Camp’s dialogue was smart to highlight just enough of the injustices committed which shaped Hawkeye’s views of the world.

The book also looked stunning thanks to Juan Frigeri’s art, Federico Blee’s colors, and Travis Lanham’s lettering. Ultimate Hawkeye’s designs were the main event, while the action sequences showcased both Hawkeye & Cap’s abilities with fluid motion and palpable intensity. Lanham paired various onomatopoeia with Frigeri’s designs to bring Hawkeye’s various arrows to life with great effect.

If there is anything missing from this series after the past few issues, it’s that I wish we got to see more team ups happening. We’ve seen the recruitment of exciting new characters, but we haven’t spent much time with them after their introductions. We’re five issues in and I really want to see what they can all do together! However, the issue’s cliffhanger makes me think that’s thankfully not too far off. more

I loved this issue. It had such a good introduction to the character and a fairly decent back and forth with Cap and Hawkeye. It's so interesting seeing all the dynamics and allignments of everyone as the stakes get closer and closer. Excited to see what happens more with this character.

One of my favorite issues of this series to date. The art was good but the writing was great. Cap studying Hawkeye during the "fight" was entertaining, as well as Hawkeye's reactions. Great intro issue for Hawkeye.
