After the last volume, I'd been kind of wondering why this series had been getting so many accolades. (It's not awful, it just didn't seem as amazing as I was hearing.) But I understand now: it's not just about the Clint Barton Hawkeye, it's been the Kate Bishop hawkeye that makes the whole thing

fit together and work. The comics were actually interleaved in original publishing, this book collects #14, 16, 18, 20. I understand why they collected them separately, but I think I would have enjoyed the Barton Hawkeye story so much more if I'd read it contrasted with the Bishop Hawkeye story. Kate's story is funny, clever, and so very human.

Fun read, Kate Bishop, the female Hawkeye, leaves New York for a break from her life there and Clint Barton (taking his dog!) and goes to LA, rest, recuperation and a break are what she has in mind, but Madame Masque has other plans, Kate ends up playing detective while she can't leave well enough

alone, so things start to go to pot. Interesting and fun and quite believable and at the same time quite crazy. Kate just can't help herself from helping when she can.

Kate Bishop is a semi-avenger. It looks like she is filling in for Hawkeye while he is psychologically absent. She leaves him and takes his dog to L.A., to make her own way. But her old enemy Madame Masque finds her there and immediately starts making trouble. Kate is determined to solve her own

problems, without help from Hawkeye or anyone else.

I haven't read others in this series, but it's quite engaging, with lots of silhouette artwork by Annie Wu.
