I'm definitely excited by the inclusion of lots of diverse characters and it seems like they are setting up the police detective, Johnny, and Ramone to be important players in the story as it unfolds. I think it's important to point out that like Ms. Marvel, this is the kind of easy, non-showy diversity that comics should do – making a character a person of color, having them drop into the convo that they are gay — this doesn't have to be a big deal or stop the flow of the story, and that's exactly what the team successfully does here. I really appreciated seeing that. Read Full Review

Even though this issue went on and on, we were engaged at all times. We're not sure how it was achieved but we'd welcome it in every issue. Thompson did a great job on A-Force and she's quickly proven that Marvel need to keep her around. Read Full Review

Combined with the necessary detail of Leonardo Romero's work, how Jordie Bellaire switches up her previous colour set to match the setting and an impressive action sequence and you've got the book which continues to be the strongest of the new Marvel Now launches. Read Full Review

Hawkeye #2 is a strong follow-up to the impressive debut issue of Kate Bishop's solo series. Kelly Thompson has delivered an intriguing mystery to follow with the TBC's true motives other than just being trolls. The organizations influence also provides an excellent first challenge for Kate now that she is starting her solo superhero career as Hawkeye. Leonardo Romero's perfectly complimented the story with how he draws the characters and portrays Kate's unique Archer Point. This all combines for an issue that builds further excitement for what is to come next from this new Marvel series. Read Full Review

The new Hawkeye series reads basically like a direct continuation of Matt Fraction and Annie Wu's Kate Bishop saga, but what better run to draw from? Read Full Review

The Hawkeye creative team is on to something really good with this series, mixing a reckless detective story with witting superheroics to make for a really fun comic book. Read Full Review

Just like its protagonist, Hawkeye#2 is a confidently written, drawn, and colored comic, and its portrayal of Kate Bishop as simultaneously a badass and out of her depth is refreshing in a type of story that is sadly often populated by one-dimensional action women and damsels in distress.

Kate is still my favorite, though Im not quite sure about the story thus far. I think its a helpful direction that maybe needs some fine tuning in order to be fully realized. The art gets the feel right and the writing has enough mystery, but I think the story suffers from maybe including too many things and would better work under the principle of less is more. I think theres potential in Hawkeye, especially moving into this issue, but it may need to find its voice sooner rather than later. Read Full Review

Thompson and Romero refine Kate's aim, and it's on target Read Full Review

Listen, thus far Ive had some fun with Hawkeye. Its laid back and silly, which is nice, but we all know that my head canon is just that: non canon. Eventually shell super hero her way in an exceptionally super hero way, and Ill hate it. Itll be boring and derivative because thats just how this rolls. Right now though, Im having fun pretending Kates incompetent as hell, and Ill keep reading until that stops being a thing. Read Full Review

The arrival of the splendidly salty Detective Rivera caps off Kate's new supporting cast, and Kelly Thompson moves the script into real action with laudable speed. This series was idling on the launchpad up to the awesomely-designed alley fight; now we're rocketing off into a thrilling neo-noir caper that promises to be really delightful. The villains are intriguingly menacing, the action is laid out with visuals that would do David Aja proud, and this title shoots right to the front of the pack in terms of ongoing Marvel solos.

Prelude:
Thompson's first issue of Hawkeye had a strong start so let's see how this issue goes.

The Good:
Loving the P.I aspect of this book.

Romero's art is great. Really like his "Hawkeye" vision he does for Kate.

This is an interesting group Kate is putting together.

The Bad:
Nothing.

Conclusion:
Thompson keeps up the momentum from the previous issue here. Kate Bishop is lovable and entertaining to read.

fantastic fun. The story is told well, even if it isnt a super complex one. the characters are appropriately pulpy for a PI story, and the dialogue makes me smile. Beyond that, the art is superb, great use of color throughout.

This book is not up my alley, but the art and colors are great.
