This is the only book from Fraction that I was reading.
Wrong! (But for discussion elsewhere)
Avengers New Hawkeye ongoing (Fraction/Aja)

That was pretty good. It's better than people probably remember. It had some cool ideas.
Disagreed. So far it's very good and the art direction on it is phenomenal.

I love you Hawkguy but why
I'm guessing Matt Fraction isn't getting the scripts done.
I'd be really curious as to why, exactly. It is (or was) one of Marvel's best-selling titles, so surely there's some pressure to get the issues out on time. Is he writing a particularly enormous number of books these days? Did his priorities shift away from it completely, now that this is going to be ending? What's the dealy-o?
He's got his own creator-owned books, and he makes a lot more money on those since he owns and controls them completely (with the artists, of course).
I believe Hawkguy's sales are good but I think it's closer to the middle of the pack compared to other Marvel books than is is near the top.

So Hawkeye #21 came out last week. I'm waiting to read it until #22 (the final issue) comes out. But it was slated for next week (Feb 18) and previews world doesn't have it listed in next week's releases. What in the world, Fraction! Get your stuff together.

21 was good. So good.
I'm totally getting the omnibus for this series. I was on the fence for a bit (I really don't like the LA stuff all that much), but if the finale is as good as the penultimate issue was, I'm on board. I'm such a sucker for a story that wraps up well. We don't get a lot of those in comics.

So I finally bought and read Hawkeye #22. It's $1.99 on comixology, if anyone still cares and hasn't read it.
It was pretty good. I think I would have liked it a lot a year ago. The collar stays was a nice touch. Reminiscent of Ultimates, but with some build up in this specific run, so it didn't feel like a cheap copy.
Does the new series follow this up at all?

Sort of. It manages to keep the same general tone and it's clear that the events of the book take place after Fraction's book.
It has almost none of the charm as Fraction's book, though.

Now I'm trying to remember back on the first few issues....I don't believe it does, no. A lot of it deals with Barney & Clint's childhood through flashbacks.
