The middle of the five-issue mini-series is well-poised as Kate deals with family issues that happen to involve one of the single most powerful artifacts in the whole of the Marvel Universe. Kate can handle it. Nijkamp may have bit off a little more than she can handle in the final two issues of the series with a fragment of a cosmic cube involved. Still, shes done a solidly exemplary job of putting everything together in the first three issues, so a satisfying conclusion is more or less assured. Read Full Review

Filled with gorgeous art, this snappy installment will have fans wanting more, and a killer cliffhanger puts all of Kate's newly acquired boons back in the hot seat. Read Full Review

The story continues to keep me hooked, the art did take some getting used to. But now, I think it does an amazing job with acrobatic action sequences that one would expect from a Hawkeye comic. All in all, this is a comic book everyone should be picking up. I am excited about the next issue. Read Full Review

The first half of Kate Bishop's unplanned vacation has been fun, but the back end will determine whether or not this is essential Hawkeye reading. Read Full Review

And I'm falling back out of love with this title. My acquisition of the taste for the art hit a wall. It seems like the delicate balance between textual and visual storytelling breaks down, causing *lots* of confusion. I'm no longer liking the character designs (it doesn't help that all of Kate's relatives are terribly plain-looking).

The pace is way too slow. The dialogue is obtuse; most of the jokes don't work for me. The ideas lifted out of Fraction/Aja Hawkeye feel cheap and derivative.

I could look past one or two of these problems. When they all hit at once, though, I can't call the result any better than average.

I liked it to a certain extent. It just feels awkward in some parts, the plots not very exciting and Kate Bishop is just a little exaggerated compared to how she usually is.
