The Kate in this book is the Kate I love. She is very good at what she does while simultaneously being a complete mess. She is a caring, intuitive, smart ass who absolutely cannot stop talking and I think we should be best friends. I look forward to seeing more from this team, and cant wait to see what they do with the upcoming team up. Read Full Review

Though only four issues in, this is a series that very much knows what it is and what makes it work, something we can't wait to see pay further dividends down the line. Read Full Review

Despite these misgivings, the latest volume ofHawkeyeis off to a very promising start. By the last page of this issue, the creators have established a likable supporting cast, hinted at a high-stakes central conflict, and brought in a well-chosen first guest star. This series has already demonstrated that Kate, a character who previously has always shared pages with the other members of the Young Avengers or her namesake, is more than capable of standing on her own. Now, she just needs an opponent worthy of her talents and wit. Read Full Review

Kate Bishop's first storyline comes to a fun and somewhat wacky conclusion, perfectly befitting her humorous yet grounded comic. But the real magic is being built between Kate and her new supporting cast. Read Full Review

Hawkeye beats the baddie by forcing him to listen to the Sound of Music. There is lots of other stuff going on and lots of the other stuff is great but "Hawkeye saves the day thanks to Julie Andrews" is very much a thing that happens. I'm gonna roll with it because I like lots of the other stuff, but I'm not ignoring this development which could be charitably called "wacky and whimsical" and more harshly termed "corny and saccharine."

a decent silly issue with art to match. if you like that sort of thing, this issue is definitely more of the same.

the strange thing for me is... I normally don't like that sort of thing, but I'm not minding it in this one.

it occurs to me that this book is maybe about as stupid silly as Batgirl and the art is about the same level of quality... maybe a notch above. yet somehow instead of HATING it I'm considering that maybe it can be a book that I read just for a light story and not to take it very seriously... why don't I ever think of Batgirl that way? probably because she was on track to becoming my favorite super-hero ever, even passing up Spider-Man before they did this to her. so the difference is that this is NEW and is actually just adding some value to my comic pile, without simultaneously removing something of such high value. sigh....
