I meant predecessor in a narrative sense. The book has even been referred to as a ''spiritual continuation'' to Fraction's run, and we all can agree it has done that much more than Lemire's book did. I didn't think All-New Hawkeye was all that bad, though. It was a little bland compared to Fraction's and Thompson's, but it wasn't a completely terrible read either. I guess the only thing that sort of bothered me is that while I loved how we got to see more of Kate's past, I'm not a big fan of how Lemire tried to shoehorn Clint into her origin story. The whole ''I've looked up to Hawkeye ever since I was a little kid'' thing was very strange and even contradictory to how Kate was portrayed back in Young Avengers, since she was the only one on the team who wasn't a superhero fangirl; she wanted to be a hero for very personal reasons that concerned only her, and that was great and empowering.
Of course she did. Ewing just can't help himself; he HAS to write Young Avengers characters in all his books. I'm definitely not complaining, of course.
