Marvel first announced "Hawkeye: Blindspot" in November 2010 as the follow-up to four-issue miniseries "Widowmaker".

With his greatest skill now a terrible curse, Hawkeye will have to face down his past sins to forge a new future…but even the man with Marvel’s deadliest aim can’t always see what’s coming! Reception. The first issue of "Hawkeye: Blindspot" was received with mostly positive critical reviews. Doug Zawisza of Comic Book Resources gave it 4.5 out 5 starts stating, "Whether you like what McCann has been doing with "Hawkeye and Mockingbird" and "Widowmaker", or are just a fan of the Clint Barton character , this issue offers quite a bang for your three bucks". Jesse Schedeen of IGN was less enthused giving it a 6.5 out of 10 explaining, ""Hawkeye: Blindspot" doesn't get off to a wholly satisfying start. Luckily, now that the flashbacks are out of the way, there's ample room for McCann to focus the story and ramp up the conflict". Lan Pitts of Newsarama stated, ""Hawkeye: Blindspot" hearkens back to a simpler age of storytelling, but is hardly "simple".
