Hawkeye & Mockingbird #2 (Marvel) "Ghosts Part 2: Rumors of Death" Jim McCann David Lopez Alvaro Lopez Nathan Fairbairn Cory Petit Paul Renaud (cover)

what we learned: bringing your ex-wife's mom to meet your ex-wife, when the former thinks she's dead, is a brilliant idea. oh, and of course Jim McCann mines the past i love when he brings back that rapist Ghost Rider - in the form of a descendant, of course.
oh shit moment: mother in law or ex-mother-in-law is no longer either, thanks to Crossfire.
what's next: Hawkeye in a Sky Cycle! versus Crossfire and Death Throws! its 1986 all over again!!
