Despite being an Avenger, Clint Barton is a really just a regular guy who kills time during a slow night at their headquarters by playing cards with other superheroes. It doesn't seem to occur to him that hanging out with his ex-wife, his current girlfriend, and an old flame at the same time might not be a great idea. It's also an especially awkward scene when a beautiful woman that he recently slept with shows up at the door begging for help because she's wanted for murder. And yet Clint wonders why his personal life is such a mess.... 
 This second Hawkeye collection builds on what was established in the first one, and it adds more fantastic layers to both Clint and what he gets up to when he's not running around with the Avengers. The first story is a self-contained gem set during Hurricane Sandy in which Clint helps one of his neighbors get his elderly father evacuated from his beachside home and Kate (The other Hawkeye. Yeah, there's two of 'em. Just go with it.) tries to get some medication for an ailing woman during the storm. Not only was this a fantastic nod towards the rescue workers and citizens who helped each other out, it's a nice reminder that you don't have to save the world to be a hero. 
 Things take a darker turn in the rest of collection which see Clint taking some time off over the holidays to try and get his life together and recover from the constant beatings he takes as an Avenger. However, his involvement with the woman on the run brings him more trouble with the gang of track suited bros that he tangled with before, and his interference with the local criminals gets a bounty put on his head. Plus, every woman he knows is furious at him for potentially embarrassing the Avengers by helping a wanted criminal that he slept with. It's refreshing that Fraction has written Barton as being kind of a irresponsible dumb-ass in a lot of ways, and while he rightly gets called out on it, he's still very much a likeable character. 
 I flat out loved the interactions with the other Avengers that feel like behind the scenes glimpses of the superhero life. There's lots of little touches like Wolverine and Spider-Man discussing a TV show as the bad guys from their latest fight are being hauled away by SHIELD, and Clint yells at them not to spoil it for him. Clint calls Tony Stark for help when he can't figure out how to set up his TV. When his ex-wife Mockingbird comes over to get the divorce papers signed, she ends up beating up some thugs who are watching Clint's building. All of this plays out like it's just another day in the life of the Marvel Universe. 
 And of course the collection ends with the issue that comic fans are buzzing about, the adventure of Lucky a/k/a Pizza Dog. The idea of telling an entire story from the perspective of Hawkeye's dog could have just been a gimmick with its clever use of pictograms to represent the smells that Lucky experiences, but it's actually surprisingly touching. 
 Believe the hype. Read Hawkeye.
