As someone new to the comic world, this is a fantastic first comic. Beyond the gorgeous, minimalist art style and unique style of writing, it's very fresh. New comic readers can read it without worrying about years and years of plot and history. Overall this is a fantastic series and I've already read this a few times while waiting for the second to arrive. It's just brilliant!
I've already purchased and read the second and I'm waiting on the third, if that tells you how much I like it!

I don’t read the other Avengers comics—or many comics at all anymore, sadly—but I’m trying to read more and Hawkeye came highly recommended. It was largely against those expectations that my hopes were dashed.
Hawkeye follows the eponymous hero (Clint Barton and, less often, the other Hawkeye Kate Bishop) in between the “real” adventures presumably covered in other comics. So we get a very beat up and very human hero having micro-adventures on a much more local scale. That was a description that really appealed to me. But it really is intended for readers of all those other comics, I think. It wound up coming off disjointed to a point that it really threw me off and sullied my enjoyment of the stories. There was too much going on I didn’t know about or understand.
I do love the art and the use of purple (with five alma maters that use purple in their school colors, though, I’m undeniably biased).

Matt Fraction did a wonderful job by giving the Hawkeye character the wit and humor that really carries this series, along with the superb writing. David Aja's artistic excellence really shined and fit very well with Fraction's storytelling. A definite must read and a definite must have in you Trade Paperback collection.

I’ve heard good things about Matt Fraction so I decided to pick-up this book. It’s fun and a good read. And although the drawing is very ‘minimalistic’ it doesn't take away the action.
However, as a big Haweye fan, I must say I miss the old Clint Barton, the one who founded the West Coast Avengers and who was eager to show the world how a great superhero he could be no matter he didn’t have any superpowers.
But all in all, this is a good book.

This is fun times. I had never read a Hawkeye story before, and I liked this. Bows and arrows! Purple! Amusing narration! Hawkeye doesn't know any other languages! Kate Bishop! Doggies!
I like the minimalist art a whole lot and that was only confirmed when I read the last story, which is a Young Avengers story done in a completely different style which I like much less. I like that the art in most of the book doesn't put Kate in Escher Girls positions or emphasize her body unnecessarily.

First Hawkeye book and I enjoyed it. One of those superhero that is not super powered but super talented. I like that.

Following the adventures of the least known Avenger is way more fun and heart felt than you would imagine. I've definitely gained more respect for the journey of Hawkeye having read it. Great book!

I had heard about this story from a friend who loves Hawkeye. I had enjoyed his character as a kid and figured why not. I am glad I picked it up. The story might have a couple moments where you may feel left out b/c of the 'history' of Marvel Comics but nothing to worry about.
I was actually curious as to what was on the tape that Hawkeye was after and the reveal wasn't disappointing. Solid book and well worth the read.
I enjoyed this so much I picked up the second.

The book was in a good condition but it was bent really bad in he middle of the book right on the spine and its bent so bad that the book is on the verge of riping. Other than that the comic it's self so far (i have only read a few pages) it's really funny and a good read for all the diehard Hawkeye fans (like myself)
