• Kate Bishop is NOT being herself. She's being WAY EXTRA TROUBLESOME. Which, since this is Kate, says A LOT.
• Skipping out on her case work, partying way too hard is one thing, but when her friends get in trouble and need a helping hand from Hawkeye and she doesn't come through, it becomes clear that something is really off.
• Who is this fake Kate, and what's she done with the real deal?
Rated T+
There's not enough good things I can even say about Hawkeye as a title. Not reading Hawkeye is like missing the game winning catch in the big high school football game, it'll haunt you for all your days til you redeem yourself (that's not about me, I ran track Read Full Review
HAWKEYE #10 is an excellent chapter, playing with dual perspectives that add to an already engaging story for our hero. Read Full Review
It's haunting and gorgeous, yet also energetic and action-packed. But while the art is really the driving force of this issue, Kelly Thompson's script doesn't disappoint, either. The tone is equally fun and foreboding as Kate deals with the mess madame Masque is currently making of her life. Read Full Review
And Hawkeye #10 ends on a powerful final scene that could lead to some huge revelations for the character, so this comic still has me hooked. Read Full Review
Thompson throws us a pretty fun curveball in the latest issue, upping the stakes and making for a very fun comic. Read Full Review
With this issue the team does a great job at giving a fun new narrative for the arc's main villain, while also giving readers panel time with the Kate Bishop we know and love, leading to a well-balanced issue that allowed the team to stretch their creative muscles by keeping regular Hawkeye readers on their toes.

Prelude:
Hawkeye: Masks has been great so far so let's see if Thompson can keep that up.
The Good:
I do like a look into Fake Kate as it shows the difference in our protagonist and antagonist. Perception is a powerful tool and it's used well here.
Romero's art is great here.
It's great seeing Kate think on her feet.
The Bad:
Nothing.
Conclusion:
A very fast issue but a very important one in that. It explores the difference in our hero and villain and how each perceives the other.
Gosh, isn't Kate acting strange? Smooching her Scoobies and shooting guns and all? Let's talk about the *amazing* way the creative team split this book into two incredibly different stories while keeping them related. Thoughts, dialogue, art, colors - the split between Kate and Fake-Kate resonates in every creative choice. It's an impressively thorough job and I think the only place that could *maybe* stand improvement is the rather sketchy (even for Leonardo Romero) finishes in the Fake-Kate section. That's the tiniest and most forgivable of flaws; this book is a really thoughtful and exciting treat. Killer cliffhanger, too.
After reading the Generations: Hawkeye issue I felt compelled to know more and read more on Kate Bishop. I went to my local shop and bought all 10 issues. I read them this past weekend and I must say this series has been a lot of fun. Its just quirky and fun and I really like Kate as a character. The art is really cool too. Its very unique and colorful but, totally fits the tone of the book as well. I'm a new fan, but definitely in it for the long haul.
Fun issue. Art could have been a bit more finessed. Nice cover.
