Hawkeye #1

Hawkeye #1 (2017) kicks off with Kate Bishop back in Los Angeles, running her own detective agency with a mix of sharp wit and sharp aim. Her first case—keeping tabs on a flashy surfer—quickly spirals into a messy mix of L.A. chaos, bank robberies, and clients who don’t believe she’s the real Hawkeye. Things get personal when a college student named Mikka hires her to track down a stalker, setting the stage for a mystery as tangled as the city’s traffic. Written by Kelly Thompson and illustrated by Leonardo Romero, with vibrant colors by Jordie Bellaire and bold lettering by VC's Joe Sabino, the cover by Julian Totino Tedesco captures the issue’s cool, grounded edge.
