Overall, I haven’t been enjoying this series. It has just seemed
incredibly trite and played out for the most part. This issue actually
seemed to be getting on track until the flashback. I liked the way
Clint was acting like a petulant child for the first half of this book
and his incredible laziness and immaturity when it came to preparing
for a life and death mission. I liked the way the background characters
were dismissing their arguing as typical American in public attitude.
Then the flashback tried to make the feelings that Bobbi had for Clint
more “deep” if you will. It couldn’t be enough that they were havng
marital difficulties before she was abducted, no it had to be her
killing a skrull Clint and his being a reminder of that constantly. It
just tried to hard. I was okay with Clint figuring out stuff, but as
capable and adept as Bobbi was in this issue, it incredlby hard to
believe she wouldn’t know what a Rube Goldberg machine was. The art was
okay, but nothing too impressive.
