I love Wes Anderson and Jason Schwartzman/Bored to Death, but that is such a hipster douchebag-y thing to do. And that was really charming - for Clint.įor Kate? Well, she sets up a detective agency.

It’s about becoming more street level than an already street level character. Hawkeye as a series has worked really well because of the concept - what he does when he’s NOT being an Avenger. I really liked this book but I didn’t LOVE it like I did the last two Hawkeyes, so, before the praise, let’s get the negs out of the way. Good news is that volume 4 is right around the corner, bad news is that it’s Fraction and co.’s last Hawkeye book! When Kate left to be her own person and left Clint behind, the series literally became split with Matt Fraction writing one issue of Clint, then one issue of Kate, and so on, which is why the numbering of this volume is all over the place (#14, 16, 18, 20 & Annual #1), and why it’s been over a year since volume 2 came out that we’re finally seeing volume 3. Together, they’ll set up an unlicensed private detective agency and Kate will strike out as: the West Coast Avenger! She’s leaving New York for the West Coast, and she’s taking Lucky aka Pizza Dog with her. No surprises there, but this time his protege, Kate Bishop aka Hawkeye, has had enough.
