This volume of Hawkeye collects a bunch of issues about the younger, cuter Hawkeye, Kate Bishop. What I kinda don’t get is how much like Clint she acts — she’s not the serious, dedicated leader of the Young Avengers here at all (and she doesn’t once that I can think of contact any of her team). The volume is mostly made up of new characters, aside from Kate and the antagonist, Madame Masque.It’s fun, and the art is okay — I don’t like it as much as Aja’s — but I like Kate Bishop self-assured and...

Kate Bishop moves to the West Coast to try life on her own. She manages to get a job as a PI, even though she's not technically an official PI with a licence, but that doesn't stop her from trying really hard. She also spends a lot of time dealing with her nemesis - Madame Masque. Since volume 1 when Kate embarrassed Madame Masque and pretended to be her, Masque has had it in for Kate. Fraction has built a pretty cool feud between these two. The regular artist for the Kate Bishop issues is Annie...

This was different from vol. 1 & 2. I wasn't hot on the character of Kate. I found it unrealistic that a teenage girl could knock out and break bones of grown henchmen. However, later on it does become a lot more realistic. She gets her ass given to her a number of times. Trial and error by fire. She's grown on me. It builds a better picture of the overall flow of the story as well and they pick and choose heartfelt characters and stories for her to work with which is really refreshing. I'm look...

I was kind of nervous about this one, but, it turns out, I like Kate's stories just as much as Clint's. Oh, don't get all pouty, Barton! I still love you... So it starts off with Kate deciding she's had enough, packing her bags, swiping Clint's extremely disloyal dog, and heading out to L.A. to start over.And then everything just goes to shit.Her credit cards are declined, her stuff gets stolen by minionesque Bellboys, and Madame Masque invites her over for a cup of Death!Muahahahahahahahahah

Who said super hero comics have to deal with super heroic deeds to be entertaining? Fortunately, not Matt Fraction. Kate Bishop, formerly of the Young Avengers, has had enough of Clint Barton’s shenanigans and decides to take Lucky (aka Pizza Dog) and move to Los Angeles. Things quickly go awry. She loses everything - money, car, her weaponry - and ends up babysitting a cat, in a trailer, down by the river (okay, it’s the ocean. Work with me here!).Los Angeles isn’t exactly a hot bed of superher...

Hawkeye goes to LA. Maybe they’ll reform the West Coast Avengers?Not likely as this isn’t Clint Barton. It’s the other Hawkeye, Kate Bishop. After Kate gets tired of Clint’s messy personal life turning him into a grumpy bastard, she takes Lucky the pizza dog and heads to LA to get some space. However, since she’s an Avenger (Or practically an Avenger as she often has to clarify.) Kate soon finds herself on the bad side of Madame Masque as well as having her finances cut off by her rich father. R...

This volume feels quite different from the first volume, which is because it's all Kate and no Clint. Kate has basically gotten sick of Clint and run off to LA, where she... sort of opens an adorable detective agency and, like, finds stolen orchids. Like I said, quite a tone shift. If Kate weren't so funny and earnest and determined, I probably would have gotten bored, even annoyed. But honestly, I'd watch her do just about anything. But it's very, very lightweight through most of the book. This...

Kate Bishop is the Young Avenger with the bow and arrow. This is what she does when she's not Avenging.Annual 1 - Kate and Lucky leave town for the West Coast. Madam Masque looks to settle a score.Well, I didn't like this issue very much. Javier Pullido just isn't David Aja. Also, I'm not sold on Kate as a lead just yet. Still, it was cool to see Madam Masque try to get revenge on Kate.14 - Kate reinvents herself as a private eye and goes looking for orchids. She also is flat broke.After annua...

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS WAS AMAZING.KATE BISHOP IS AMAZING.THE ART WAS AMAZING.THE CHARACTERS ARE AMAZING.THE HUMOUR WAS AMAZING.Ughhh everything about this was just so amazing! I desperately wanted to give it 5 stars but I feel as thought the ending is holding me back from doing so as it felt a little rushed and it was difficult to grasp what was going on. Overall, this was pretty fantastic and I think it's safe to say that I've found a new favourite female marvel character!!

Didn't enjoy this one as much as the first 2 volumes. Somewhat disappointing. Sad to see the David Aja art missing from this one too.

I wasn't really grooving on this book when I first picked it up - like most of my shallow compatriots said, "where the fuck did Hawkguy go?"By the time I finished it though, I was pretty enchanted by this seeming-diversion away from our battered hero.Check it out - here's an interesting theory:- read as a story uninterrupted by any knowledge of what's going on back on the East Coast (i.e. from Kate's point of view), this is a story of growing up fast, and seeing how easy it sounds to be a better...

It was okay. The first two volumes were marvellous, but this third one, didn't strike the right cords. It was dull, boring with too too many dialogues, which was a complete opposite of the previous two volumes. The artwork was also average at best. There was nothing that would woo your senses. Half of the time, the dialogues got so boring that I had to skip pages and pages. The ingenuity shown in first two volumes was lost here. The humor was dry as if someone has taken the sauce out of pasta. T...

Didn't like this one as much as the previous ones, but not because of lack of Clint (although I did miss him), but more because I didn't really like the bad guy in this one. This one entirely follows Kate in her adventures in L.A., but nothing happens like she thinks it will. When she gets there and tries to check in to her hotel, her card is declined, and her car repossessed. And the nice woman who helps her out and takes her to lunch turns out to be Madame Masque, Kate's relatively recent new

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?Matt Fraction’s “Hawkeye, Vol. 3: L.A. Woman” is a collection of issues #14, 16, 18 and 20 of Hawkeye comic book series plus the first issue of Annual. Hawkeye’s talented but spoiled teenage protégé Kate Bishop got tired of Clint Barton’s, that is Hawkeye’s, drama so she left for Los Angeles and took with her Lucky the Pizza Dog. But on the West Coast things are not perfect either. Kate gets dead broke and tries to make ends meet working as a private investigator. On top of that...
