Review/plot:
This is a Hawkeye & Ant-Man team-up story. The rest of the Avengers only show up for a single panel at the end. Hawkeye & Ant-Man fight the Taskmaster at a carnival.

This issue has the semi-famous sequence where Ant-Man rides on Hawkeye's arrow so he can reach and disable a bomb embedded in a dummy launched from a cannon. So thanks to everyone involved for making it possible for me to type that sentence.

The Taskmaster escapes in the end.
