Hawkeye: Kate Bishop, Volume 1: Anchor Points
by Kelly Thompson
I like Kelly Thompson, she super cool. I like Hawkeye, she's fun. So why didn't I "love" this?
Well this is two arcs here. First is about a missing case. Well it starts off as a girl getting stalked and then goes missing. We slowly find out the reason behind it is a virus of sorts going around, a chemical imbalance, that makes people hate. I believe it's trying to be a metaphor for the internet and how it can be a place filled with hatred and everyone begins to follow like sheep. Least that's what I got, I can be way off. Second story features fan favorite Jessica Jones! That made me very exciting as I love her and she basically is teaching Hawkeye the ways of P.I.
Good: I liked the first story. It was a little heavy handed but worked well mostly due to Kate being super fun with her dialog. Bouncy and easy to get in to with a decent side cast. I also really enjoyed Jessica Jones with Kate, kind of felt like sisters working together. Very cool.
Bad: Not a huge fan of the art. Fells like trying to be Hawkeye Fraction Run a few years back but not as well done. I also thought the storylines kind of went flat by the end. Neither really kept me interested and if wasn't for Kate I probably would have dropped it.
Overall I was kind of let down. I really do love Kate Bishop, and I think Kelly is a solid writer, but I just didn't love it. I still enjoyed it enough to have a good time reading but I can't help but feel it could be way better. I'd give it a 2.5 but I'll bump it to a 3 for Kate and Jessica being great together. Hoping to enjoy Volume 2 better!
