Jim McCann’s casting of Hawkeye and Mockingbird, just like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt in the movie Mr. & Mrs Smith, as super hero spies is extremely crucial to this latest issue. It gives that initial flurry in the beginning providing a perfect platform as we move along.

McCann is able to capitalize of the popular superhero paring concept and his description of their world is almost perfect. His introduction of the family and friends provides a great backdrop and gives that human element to the super heroes, enabling the readers to connect with them better.

Hawkeye sparring scene with Captains America is very well etched and comes out very nicely as a real treat to the readers. As the story progresses McCann very cleverly brings the villains into the play. It is more of a reintroduction of these villains which the superhero pair has collectively managed to gather. Though neither Crossfire nor the Phantom Rider is a list-A villain, they do manage to create the some credibility as villains.

Although, I must confess that Crossfire doesn’t really justify his character in this wonderful story but the Phantom Rider is impeccable as a villain. Though during the story you tend to feel that it is a bit too detailed but at the end all these little details sum putting all the plots in place. All in all a very good read, especially for those who like the antics on Superheroes. It is a very refreshing take on superheroes and hopefully should be taken well by the readers.
