One of the first books I reviewed in 2015 was the last Hawkeye collection L.A. Woman so it's nice symmetry that Rio Bravo is the one I'm closing out the year with. 
 It's also bittersweet that this marks the end of Fraction and Aja's time on the title which will be remembered as one of the best runs of a mainstream superhero comic book. There's already been plenty written and said in praise of what they did here, and I've gushed about it in my other reviews, too. So I'm not going to rehash all of that other than to say that they wrap this up as strongly as they started it. I particularly liked the inspired issue which used the idea of Clint falling asleep while watching a Christmas special with his neighbor's kids to come up with a cartoonish but effective way of exploring the inferiority complex that he has as a non-super powered Avenger as well as the stubborn streak that results from it. 
 There's one thing that knocks this down from 5 to 4 stars for me. The last two trades have been a mix of issues that focused on Kate Bishop on her own in the last one, and Clint is the main part in this one. That makes sense thematically as a collection, but it does make some of the story seem a little disjointed and confusing, especially since there's a lot of skipping around in time of the narrative anyhow. I wish I'd read them in order as released rather than in the trade paperbacks because I suspect that the story would have flowed better. 
 It's still a great ending to one of the best runs we're likely to see on a mainstream title. If I ever meet Fraction, I'd just like to say, "Thanks, bro."
