Hawkeye #2 Review

Writer: Kelly Thompson / Artist: Leonardo Romero / Marvel Comics It’s only issue two and I’m letting you know that if Kate Bishop gets another series with a different creative team down the line then they are going to be hard pressed to top Kelly Thompson and Leonardo Romero’s work with this character. Kate Bishop is flourishing in this series uniquely which is very important. We’re getting the same essence of Kate from the Hawkeye series (that the team keeps throwing little nods too “this looks bad”) while growing on her own terms of development and supporting cast. We join Kate in bringing in the stalker that was bothering her client to the police precinct. Kate has been trying to reach her client to no avail and is also seeing that things work differently in LA for superheroes but is the same old bullshit when it comes to trying to take actions against those that are the cause of harassment.

Yes sir, our PI. is perturbed about the bullshit. Kate runs back into her intern? …Yeah let’s call ’em her intern. He gets her hip to this T.B.C. group meeting. The stalker mentioned going to see them but they actually made things worse. Before getting on the trail for her missing client and investigating the cult, Kate then comes across some frat boys that were around this group as well harassing a woman. Something is really going on around LA ’cause men are out here losing their minds with the misogyny and shit, but Bishop is not the one to play with. That becomes evident real soo…
