She worked extensively with the original Hawkeye, Clint Barton, earning his respect and his approval to maintain her heroic alter-ego. To get those unfamiliar with her up to speed, she arrived on the Marvel Comics scene back in 2005 for "Young Avengers" #1, earning the Hawkeye mantle by issue #12.

Overall: Hawkeye - Kate Bishop #5 is a really fun and pretty comic book. It’s really powerful stuff.Īnd finally, I just have to add that as a Hawkeye stan it was disappointing to once again be let down in the will-they/won’t they of the AmeriKate ship, yet I still hold out hope that one day a comic will give in to the fan service. Kate is one of the youngest characters that the MCU has introduced to date, but that doesnt prevent her from having her own compelling heros journey. By being forced back to NYC and to Bishop Manor, Kate is also forced to face her past and find an appreciation for the life she’s made for herself. And lastly, we see Kate return physically home, going to a place she couldn’t be further from both physically and emotionally at the beginning of the story. Kate was then kidnapped and held hostage by one of Derek's enemies. She didn't have a great relationship with her father, Derek, especially after she found that he had been doing dangerous business dealings with a bad crowd. ![]() Known as Echo in the comics, Maya's eyes were opened by Clint Barton when he revealed that her father's death by his hands as Ronin was the result.

And when the fight really ramps up, we see the color work take off like a rocket as reality shifting envelops the page almost as if the artists took over the storytelling. The art team also unleashes a lot that they’ve held back in previous issues, giving us a climactic kickass fight sequence between Kate and Fifi, the trick shot circus archer. Specifically, I liked how they worked color into the messages within the Young Avengers group chat. Brittany Peer and Rachelle Rosenberg do stunning work, making every panel pop. Probably the first thing people will notice about this comic is how loud the colors are. This level of silly, street-level crime fighting is exactly why I love Hawkeye comics so much. And if that wasn’t enough, their plan for revenge is to blame the whole thing on Kate and her villainous family. Kate and Yelena's interactions have a jovial hostility that's great to watch.
