In the previous comic, Clif Barton, aka Hawkeye, has just killed his best friend Bruce Banner, aka The Hulk, at his request with a special bullet and a special arrow they devised together, It's haunting him what he has done. And so he is traveling the US looking for people to help to get this weight of guilt off of his chest. That's when he arrives in Sweet Medicine, a Native American Reservation where there is indeed something wrong. Years ago the water got contaminated and someone was supposed to fix it but no one did. Now they drink out of plastic water bottles. One night he meets up with Deputy Red Wolf when some men come on the Reservation looking for Clint to investigate him and see what he knows and find out who he is. The two are doing pretty good fighting off the men until they run into Hydraman and he overwhelms them and they get caught. When they do get caught, they find a reservoir of water that is on Reservation land that greedy men are stealing. When that is over with it turns out that Red Wolf has traveled through time and has died before but he is not ready to die yet until he has learned life's lesson, decides to wander the US with Hawkeye and they decide to right wrongs; They discover a mechanical head of a dead president from the 80s and go to Chicago and face Nightwing's wrath in order to speak to his sidekick Deadly Nightshade who is a whiz with mechanics. And she says that it\s made with Epidurim which makes Life Model Decoys. No sooner has she finished her analysis than Colonel Nick Fury arrives to attack them with an army. He turns out to be a machine and willing to fight for the good guys. Also, Nick Fury has another bunker throughout the United States filled with weapons and robot parts.
Barton and the gang get this really nice van that breaks down on them in Dungston, Iowa, the home of the manure capital of the state. The people there are acting strange towards them and they are looking them up on special computers to find out their secret identities. They've found out that Barton is an Avenger and this has them worried. Meanwhile, there's a group that is crisscrossing the U.S. killing people.
Barton has Manifold bring over "Wheels" Wolinski to fix the van since he knows a lot about electronics. Then things come to a head in Dungston when the people who have been killing people across the U.S. arrive and the people of Dungston confront Barton and his group. It turns out that this is a Skrull war between the Skrulls of Dungston who left their home planet because they didn't want to fight any more wars and the Skrulls sent to exterminate them.
The next part of the comic takes place in the future and there are more people in Barton's gang which now includes Wheels and the Firestone Brothers, two Native American brothers. They are taking back the food Hydra has stolen from the farmers and giving it to the needy.
This was indeed an interesting book in that you don't expect the Scrull to show or that you'll be pulling for them. Wheels is an interesting character. He is shy and at first not brave at all, but once he figures out how the van works he really gets his feet on the ground, so to speak. Nightshade is still after Red Wolf to get him into bed with her, but so far he has politely said no. I think Clint said it best when he told them they weren't a team with some fancy name they were a family. This has been a really good series and I can't wait to find out what happens next. I give it five out of five stars.
