Fraction and Aja couldn't have wished for a better successor for the Hawkeye series than with Kelly Thompson and Leonardo Romero. This is how you pass the baton and fucking run the distance with it. Read Full Review

I feel like this issue was dependent on the momentum from the previous issue, and something about this storyline finale fell flat to me. It's still a very well-made comic, but some of the comic's weaker elements were at the forefront this week. Read Full Review

Prelude: It's the final issue of the current Hawkeye arc concerning Madame Masque. Let's see how it all fits together. The Good: Some great writing for Kate in this issue. I haven't mentioned it recently but Thompson writes Kate to a T and it definitely shows in this issue. It sets up the next arc well and it feels organic. Romero does some great art in this issue. Thompson continues the theme of Kate trying to defuse the situation peacefully... in the end this time but still. The Bad: Feels slightly unresolved. Conclusion: While it feels a bit unresolved this is still a great issue and story for Kate Bishop. Thompson understands the character and you can tell that.

Hawkeye continues to be one of my new favorite series. Its well written and has really cool art. The supporting cast is great, the main character is great, its half serious, half silly and all fun. Definitely a must read.

The "Madame Masque as Dupli-Kate" story winds down a little early to do some welcome character work with Kate. Everything going on in her head is fascinating. Her Scoobies are rather less interesting and starting to look a bit cardboard; this is the second issue in a row where "handsome brown boy" plays an important role and I still can't remember his name when I'm not looking directly at it. Leonardo Romero's artwork was good throughout, particularly in the double Kate fights. I liked most of Kelly Thompson's writing but kicking the issue off with that over-clever, over-twisted "apple doesn't fall far from the tree" line was a dreadful mistake.

This book is consistently good without quite being great.

The best part is that I didn't even know the name of the dude she was kissing at the end. Actually, I don't know the names of any of the characters that aren't Kate or Rivera. That's how unimportant and underdeveloped this series' characters are. Kate is a fun character to read, but her supporting characters feel like they're there just for the sake of having supporting characters. The plotline with her father and Madame Masque felt rushed and ultimately unsatisfying as a result. The art is still top notch, though.
