Hawkeye #12

Two women sit casually at a restaurant table — one in a pink jumpsuit, the other in Kate Bishop's black Hawkeye costume and mask — sharing a meal and conversation while a ring of defeated, scattered opponents lies sprawled around them in sketchy grayscale. The tagline "The Best There Is…" says it all about the confident, slightly wry tone Kelly Thompson and artist Michael Walsh bring to this series. Julian Totino Tedesco's cover perfectly captures the book's charm: action already handled, now back to the important business of lunch.
