Quick recap

Off the clock from the Avengers, Clint Barton tries to live a normal life in Brooklyn. He buys his apartment building to save his neighbors from a tracksuit-wearing gang, the "bros," who want everyone out. Along the way he adopts an injured dog, Lucky, who gets nicknamed Pizza Dog. Kate Bishop, the other Hawkeye, becomes his partner, student and voice of reason. Case follows case, mostly with Clint getting beaten up and in over his head. One issue is told entirely through Lucky's eyes as he investigates a crime in the building. The volume ends with the war against the bros heating up and Clint surrounded by enemies.
