| Cover Price | $3.99 |
Before Kate can fully wrap her head around the fact that her estranged sister Susan has reappeared (what?) and was the one who invited her to Resort Chapiteau in the first place (what??) and that this case is definitely not going to allow much in the way of pool time (ughhh), she gets pulled into something she does know how to handle: a little girl staying at the resort has gone missing. But in spite of the fact that she's basically an Avenger, the resort staff don't want her investigating. So now Kate has three mysteries on her hands: where is the girl, what is the resort hiding, and what does this have to do with her family in the first pla more

Dec 22, 2021Hawkeye: Kate Bishop #2 lets Kate's full personality loose, resulting in plenty of quips, a bit of danger, and some bold artwork. But it's the little details that really bring this series to life. Read Full Review

Dec 22, 2021I liked this issue. It was fun, it wasnt super action-packed, but it didnt need to be. Kate continues to delight and shows why she is the best Hawkeye by helping people, and telling anybody off that needs to hear it. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Dec 29, 2021There are quite a few villains in Marvels rogues gallery that could be responsible for the mind control. Nijkamp has done a respectable job of allowing the plot to slowly evolve in a way that maintains interest without revealing too much. Within the confines of a five-issue series, this is a lot of fun. The art fits well with the script...its primarily action/drama with just a hint of the humor that Nijkamp is delivering to the story. Kate can tackle more exciting stuff than strange goings-on at an estate in the Hamptons, but Nijkamp has clearly found an enjoyable backdrop for a fun mini-series. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - William Tucker
Dec 22, 2021Hawkeye: Kate Bishop #2 is a fun comic that certainly warrants reading. The writers understanding of Kate and her voice is very clear, and there are so many pieces of dialogue that will leave the reader grinning. Read Full Review

Comic Crusaders - M.R. Jafri
Dec 22, 2021This is a creative team with potential, but perhaps this isn't the right character for them. The character's appearance, voice and level of skill all feel off here. Fans have had much better Kate Bishop stories than this one, and a character of this caliber deserves better treatment than this. Read Full Review

Henchman-4-Hire - Sean Ian Mills
Dec 25, 2021The lackluster mysteries are not enough to sustain this series, the bland character relationships are not enough to sustain this series, and the mysterious (and likely uninteresting) secret villains are not enough to sustain this series. Read Full Review

This issue hooked me in just the way that the previous one failed to do. Getting past introductions and dealing with a nice meaty mystery plot does wonders for my interest. I'm liking this art more and more. This style might be an acquired taste, but I'm acquiring it. There's still a little discord in the writing; little leaps of logic in the way some lines relate to each other and/or to the art. But it does all make sense with a little thought, and the added level of puzzlement actually suits a detective story. This issue's fight scene is a bit better than #1's. It being one-on-one instead of Kate vs. a goon squad adds clarity; it being plot-central instead of "action for the sake of action" helps even more.

It was alright I guess. It's nowhere near the Thompson run but, it's fun enough to enjoy.
