Serious shit is going down on both coasts. Kate's getting screwed and Barton's been screwed. It might be the low point in the tide of the story, but it's done nothing but make me feel close to them both. Hot damn. Characters I can truly love. 
 I'm actually getting into Hawkeye, people. Real folk blues. I know, I know, it's all obvious and stuff, but it's no less true for being what it is. 
 That being said, I just have one thing I have to say. "WHAT THE FUCK, WINTERFRIENDS?" 
 Okay, that was some balls-to-ass freaky acid trip. 
 Other than that, I loved the homage to Saga on the front page. Maybe that little tangent was a little bit of an homage to Saga, too, but it really came off as a wtf weirdo-action. Sure it was a cute cue to finally ASK FOR HELP already, that of course Barton slept through, but something sunk in, finally. 
 I may like this volume better than all the rest, and that's saying a lot. :)
