Hawkeye: Kate Bishop #3

The cover by Jahnoy Lindsay says it all: Kate Bishop, in her signature purple costume, falls backward with bow drawn — a lone archer facing a massive, glowing-eyed horde of mind-controlled civilians surging down at her from above, punctuated by a satisfying "POW!" from one of her trick arrows already connecting. It's a striking visual that perfectly captures the odds-against-one energy of this 2022 series, with writer Marieke Nijkamp and artist Enid Balám pushing Kate into the kind of impossible situation she somehow makes look manageable. If you're already following this title, issue #3 looks like exactly the escalation you've been waiting for.
