I've heard a lot of negatives about the Hawkeye series, but I don't understand them. I've found the series to be fun, exciting, and interesting. I like that it is a very low-level, personal story with no cosmic/world threatening crisis.
I read and collected comic books for years, and I enjoyed the simple, fun stories as much as the huge adventures.
Everything doesn't have to be world-spanning. I like this series and I hope they do more like it. As well as the huge, universal threat stuff. Its all good.
