This series is quickly becoming a favorite and Kate Bishop is a great lead. Hawkeye: Kate Bishop, Volume 2: Masks by Kelly Thompson is quite a bit better than the first installment by this author and it really worked for me. It was so much fun to see Laura (X-23's) cameo and hear some of that gossip. I'm really looking forward to volume 3 and seeing how Thompson writes Clint.
Thompson does a great job of bringing intrigue in via Kate's family history. There's daddy issues, potential mother murders, fight clubs, clones and Madame Masque all packed in. The book looks like a modern day 70's pulp cover art come to life. One of those California detective novels but with a teenage detective who substitutes a bow for a gun.
This story has grown since the opening volume and I thought it was better. The world expands and gets weird.We meet Kate's dad - he turns out to be a super-villain. Kate walks into a cage fighting ring and has to fight for her life. She is solving crimes while looking for her mother at the same time.Kate is funny and is throwing out these one liners, but she doesn't crack me up. It's cute. Some other Marvel characters show up in the story. This is a well done story and I'm beginning to really li...
This was better than volume 1 but still didn't blow me away. So Kate comes face to face with her worst enemy. Her pops. Now this asshole has done a lot of terrible things but did you know he has powers? Yeah, me either. So with a Purple Man-lite thing going on Kate might be in more trouble then she expected. With her scooby group of crime fighters she must go through some fight club shit and cracking a brand new case. Overall, it's fun. Kelly Thompson does good with the dialogue. The best issue
Kate Bishop (Hawkeye) has a lot of personality, and it comes out in her frequent jokes (often bad, but lovable) and her expressive face and gestures (both artists in this book do a fantastic job of this). I'm a big fan of the art, and the story has some nice twists in it that are a lot of fun to read. More Kate Bishop, please.
I enjoyed this volume a lot more than the first volume.Granted, I still don't feel like I have a good handle on the supporting cast but Kate really shined in this volume. The dialogue was great! The jokes really landed and I like seeing more about Kate's family history. One thing I greatly appreciated about this volume was that it didn't shy away from how hard the job is on Kate's body. Sometimes, even the regular humans are written as though being thrown into several walls, glass windows and ot...
Characters stories are the best! World: The art is great, cause it gives so much characters to the characters. The motion is also good and creative splash pages make me happy. The world building is solid but on the simple side. It's okay cause it's well constructed so yeah it's good. Story: Very simple and straightforward tale and it's good. The pacing is fast and the character moments throughout making readers care and fall in love with Kate and Co. The villain this arc was strong and personal
This continues to be one of my favorite books.
4.25 stars. A nice step up from the last volume. Kate goes after Madame Masque after getting an invitation from her. Once she gets there, Kate finds her dad instead, which he now has powers of suggestion. What? We also get some flashbacks of Kate’s childhood which reveal a certain disturbing moment. Kate takes on another case where a girls father has gone missing. This leads Hawkeye to an underground fighting ring. Pretty awesome issue here. Madame Masque does eventually show up. I enjoyed their...
1. I can’t wait to read the next one.2. Where’s my effing Kate Bishop Netflix show?!?
wow this is so good! I can't wait to read the next one!Kate Bishop my beloved<3
[Read as single issues]Kate Bishop's favourite person in the entire world has returned - that's right, Madame Masque has come to town, and that means nothing but trouble for Kate and her pals. Plus: Clones! Pizza dog! Daddy issues! And a hell of a lot of arrows!Controversial opinion: I think this version of Hawkeye is better than the Fraction/Aja one. Kate's a much more interesting character, and the voice that Kelly Thompson gives her is wonderful. The fact that she has all of these extra issue...
Still a pretty solid run! I think out of all the female iterations (of traditionally male characters) that Marvel have created, Jane Foster Thor and Kate Bishop Hawkeye are the most well written and best characters in their own right! Overall the story is very engaging and interesting and the artwork blends with the story well! The last issue with Laura Wolverine left a bit to be desired, but overall another good volume!

Kate "don't call me 'lesser Hawkeye' or I WILL kick your @$$, you idiot" Bishop nicely sidesteps a sophomore slump and again performs triumphantly in her solo title. I'm not sure this was (warning: archery reference) an inner 10 ring shot like her initial volume but it was still pretty damn good.Hawkeye takes on the unstoppable Madame Masque (not a spoiler - they have an action pose on the rear cover) again when attempting to uncover - cue the threatening music - family secrets! She is also join...
I am still really enjoying the Kate Bishop version of Hawkeye, in fact it seems to be getting better with each issue. Kate Bishop is the best. She kicks ass! (still without super-powers, but maybe that will change in the next volume? o_0
Overall I liked this, I think it kinda has the same issues as the last one in that I just do not care about her squad haha. The team up issue was decent but I don't know that Wolverine at all so I have no attachment to it. I liked how issue 11 ended a lot though.The art in this series is generally nice, but I really like the issue covers. They're very pulp noir style.
Kelly Thompson's Kate Bishop comic continues to be excellent: this volume is even better than the first.That's in large part because of Kate's unique viewpoint and her great kick-assedness. From Young Avengers we know that she's a truly superior fighter, but that's played up even more here. Combine that with her immediate ability to read a room, depicted with hilarious art throughout this volume, and you get a really enthralling character.The plots in this second volume are also terrific. We get...
Another cool and pleasant volume of Hawkeye. I learned of Kate Bishop's existence with Matt Fraction's excellent previous run on the title which gives you some clue on my level of knowledge of the character. Seems like Katie has some understable daddy issues since she suspects him to have had her mother killed.This volume centers on this aspect of Kate's life- the reason she moved west in the first place- with a bit of Madame Masque in between and a Wolverine (Laura/Gaby) cameo to top it all. I
I read Hawkeye: Kate Bishop Vol. 2 as individual issues through the Marvel Unlimited app. Kate Bishop continues her tale in Hawkeye: Kate Bishop Vol. 2: Masks. This volume deals with a lot of different issues for Kate, so in many ways this is a deeply personal quest all of the sudden. What had started as her needing to be in a new setting has suddenly become a quest for the truth for her. Like in all previous examples involving Kate…she’s not very good at shielding herself. Sure, she can kick
