Generally speaking, I like Chris Bachalo’s art. This particular panel (and the panels that followed) really threw me off, though.
First of all, Clint’s bow has no string. This obviously shocks both Carol and Scott, who is looking rather unconcerned for someone with an arrow aimed at his face. To make matters worse, the arrow is on the wrong side of the bow. With the placement of the thumb, the arrow should not be resting on anything at all. Luckily, the incorrect grip of the bow somehow allows Clint to rest the arrow on the tip of his index finger. The arm is also rotated in such a way that the bowstring (if one existed) would likely hit Clint’s shoulder or bicep on release.
Should have referenced Hawkeye.

On the other hand, someone really should shoot that X. Not a fan of the new costume, Cyke. Granted, better than looking like Nightwing.
