Can someone tell me what this story's about? Has it started yet? Any good?

Yeah I think this was a damn good mini, the ridiculous gap between #4 and #5 almost made me forget it. All I know is, Bullseye is one sick puppy to watch his dad burn to death like that.LOOSECANNON wrote:Dark Reign: Hawkeye #5
I'll be honest, I didn't even knew there was an issue #5 in this Hawkeye mini until I saw it thrown in with my books today. How did my LCS vendor even remember? I think it was pure luck.
What we get in this finale is a dichotomy of results. There's some pretty excitable action, as Hawk(Bulls)eye spars wildy throughout medical facilities with Solo, and even partakes in a lengthy airstrike with The Kingmaker, his own dear father (whom he thought he killed in a housefire years ago). The Kingmaker was revealed last issue to be behind the murder of a US Senator with Bullseye's signature carving, thus setting up Hawkeye with the crime. Of course, reporter Ben Urich's on the case. Things are moving, but I can't say they all end in spectacular fashion.
Current Daredevil scribe Andy Diggle was more than likely replaced by fill-in writer Anthony Johnston, who admittingly does an admirable job keeping the action-loaded script as snarky and as snappy as possible. Maybe the fact I had to wait nearly a decade to finish this mini has me flustered. The art also contains a substitute, this time by Andres Guinaldo for Tom Raney, and while plausible, doesn't carry the Steve Dillon-inspired spreads from before. It's simply not remarkable, although I'm sure it didn't need be.
While I'm glad the story got finished (and of course this'll read better in trade), it's hard not to feel like the fate of this book is in the dollar bin. No Bullseye there.
3/5 - Good, unsurprising finish to an overall solid mini. The Dark Reign mini's were done fairly well for the most part.
