Hawkeye: Freefall #6
| Writer | Matthew Rosenberg |
| Artist | Otto Schmidt |
Bullseye wants to hurt Clint in any way he can, so he's playing dress-up and taking the archer's (not-so) good name on a deadly tour of New York. Meanwhile, the Hood has had enough of Clint's games and decides to put an end to them once and for all. He puts a price on Clint's head so high that every villain, merc and thug in the city is going to line up to take a shot. With everything falling apart, Clint will be forced to make some choices he can't take back. Will he find a way to get through this with clean hands, or will he be forced to return to his criminal ways?

Jul 01, 2020It's a brilliant and somewhat unexpected way to end a run, and it's grimly perfect. Top notch from cover to cover. Read Full Review

AIPT - Christopher Franey
Jul 01, 2020Solid conclusion to a miniseries that contained a lot of humor and action. Rosenberg and Schmidt combined to make an awesome chemistry that made for a humorous, adventure packed, emotional story that looks to be setting Hawkeye up for a major change in status quo. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Nick Devonald
Jul 01, 2020One of the best Hawkeye series in years, it begs for a follow-up series from the same creative team to explore where Clint goes next and what the future holds for him. The story has developed excellently over the six issues, Rosenberg understands what makes Barton great, and has been absolutely hilarious at times. The dark spiral that Clint has undergone throughout the series has made for compulsive reading and this series will not only appeal to Hawkeye fans but to a larger audience as well. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - Lizzy Garcia
Jul 01, 2020Overall, Hawkeye: Freefall #6 is a solid issue with very few flaws. I wish the climax had a little more oomph but even that is me nitpicking. For fans of Hawkeye, this issue is a great jumping-on point if you have yet to pick up the series. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Jimmy Hayes
Jul 04, 2020This book stands out like a diamond in the rough among the other books on the stands right now. Sadly, this issue isn't going to be on the stands, as it's digital-only. But, on January 5th, 2021 you need to be at your LCS picking this up. Start saving your pennies now!!! Read Full Review

Word Of The Nerd - Brent Jackson
Jul 01, 2020The art, obviously, I love, and Otto Schmidt continues to do stunning work. I hope Hawkeye: Freefall #6 is not the last we see of him at Marvel. There are a ton of other characters I would love to see him draw. Just great work all around; the art has been fantastic through each and every issue of this series. Read Full Review

Sequential Planet - Brandon Carlisle
Sep 02, 2020The ending is bold and may not be for everyone, but it's still exciting to see the final showdowns. The dark tone is admirable, but it's a hard shift from how the series started. Read Full Review

Newsarama - Justin Partridge
Jul 02, 2020But even despite the sudden ending, Hawkeye: Freefall #6 is one damn fun read. Chocked full with stakes and visceral fun both on the writing and art side, this finale sends off our favorite Marvel 'bro' into his next misadventure with style, drive, and more than a few broken bones.

Jul 01, 2020Hawkeye Freefall #6 is full of the combination of heart and wit that'd one would expect from a Hawkeye story even as it portends dark things ahead for The World's Greatest Marksman. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - clayhinojosa10
Jul 01, 2020:I want to chop this unfortunate series finale to poor choices of Marvel, and all the fans that always yell for a Hawkeye book that didn't pick this book up. Matthew Rosenberg has a story in here but was forced to finish it in six issues. If Marvel wasn't afraid to let a book go for longer than six issues, writers including Matthew Rosenberg would be able to flesh out the story and prove they have what it takes to make underrated heroes into bigger stars.

My only regret is that there was not more Bullseye. But seriously this was great.

This series was delightful and this was a strong conclusion. One of my favourite comics of the last few years.

-I like this ending as it sums up what hawkeye is in this series. He might be an avenger, but he can be no better than the criminals he fights against, he can share their ruthlessness, flaws, and be just as apart of the underworld's chess game as they are even if it is from a place of doing good. I think if rosenberg wants to, he could easily star a continuous series based off this comic.

***Reviews the entire series*** This was pretty fire. For somebody who has never read or got to know Hawkeye that well, this was an excellent comic to know who he is as of 2020. The story basically is that Ronin, Hawkeye's old persona is back in action, except Clint never took back the mantle. So whos Ronin? Matthew Rosenberg really displays his gift with dialogue and pacing. His characterization of Clint is spot on, comedic, brash, yet calculated and serious when he needs to. That goes for the entire comic series. Rosenberg plays a delicate line between comedy and seriousness of Hawkeye, and its done exceptionally well. The direction/story is a little " out of the box " as you can say, and no doubt can confuse some people at first, more

This was a really good read. It had action, it had some heart and it had some things to ponder about Hawkeye.

Clint defeats the Red Hood, but at a steep cost, both personal and social. It's a grim end to a series that started out very light-hearted, but it works well. What could have kicked it from "very good" to "flat-out great" would be some more polish on the art and -- a tall order, I know -- and a little more humor woven in without breaking the climactic tension.
