Hawkeye: Kate Bishop #2

Kate Bishop looks completely in her element here — poised mid-movement along the side of a building, purple suit and goggles on, a quiver of arrows at her back and a grappling hook in hand, every detail of the cover by Jahnoy Lindsay radiating confident, street-level heroism. The rooftop setting and dynamic crouch capture exactly the kind of agile, self-reliant Hawkeye that makes Kate such a compelling character. Writer Marieke Nijkamp and artist Enid Balám continue their 2022 run with this second issue, and the cover alone makes a strong case for checking in.
