Life is tough — but the alternative is worse! In mourning for his ex-wife Mockingbird, can a reclusive Hawkeye take on the shadowy Secret Empire? Clint clashes with the U.S.Agent, mentors two junior Avengers…and soon hits the road for all-action adventures! Prepare for exotic locations, offbeat characters, dubious morals, sleazy motives…and a can-do hero who’s not afraid to get his hands dirty. But when the Scarlet Witch disassembles the Avengers, Hawkeye is a heartbreaking casualty — though death is not the end! Hawkeye awakens in the altered House of M reality, one of only a few heroes who remember how things should be…but when the world returns to normal, can Clint find a new place in it? Or will he give his mantle to another up-and-coming hero?
