Alors que son collègue va jouer le héros du peuple dans la série Occupy Avengers, la jeune archer Kate Bishop récupère le titre Hawkeye pour elle toute seule sous l’impulsion de la scénariste Kelly Thompson (A-Force, Jem & the Holograms) et du dessinateur Leonardo Romero.
Deux héroïnes ont été particulièrement touchées par les actions de leurs ainés lors de la saga Civil War II : la nouvelle Hawkeye, alias Kate Bishop, et Jen Walters, l’ancienne MissHulk.
Comme annoncé précédemment, la nouvelle série Hawkeye est le fruit de la collaboration entre la scénariste Kelly Thompson (A-Force, Jem & the Holograms) et le dessinateur Leonardo Romero. Elle verra la jeune archer revenir à Los Angeles pour y exercer la carrière de détective privée.
[quote] I love the idea of Kate kind of falling into P.I. work because it’s a way to “monetize” her skills so that she can actually live, now that she’s no longer got her wealthy father supporting her, and then coming to realize that her “superhero skill set” actually overlaps nicely with P.I. work — a good eye, quick reflexes, the ability to sort important details fast, general sneakiness and subterfuge. The fact that she also happens to find it truly rewarding to be able to help people in a “boots on the ground” kind of way is icing on the cake.
I’m a huge fan of cities becoming their own supporting characters in fiction, and I certainly hope we’ll be able to pull that off here. Our artist, Leonardo Romero, is doing a ton of excellent world building – taking real life L.A. and some of the great (historical) noir detective elements and updating them for us and giving us a slightly fictionalized Venice Beach.[/quote]
Covers by: Julian Totino Tedesco, Marguerite Sauvage, David Aja, Marco Rudy, Mike McKone.
Description: Kate Bishop is flying solo in a brand new series. Kate’s back on the west coast with nothing but her bow, some arrows and her P.I. badge in tow. There’s crime to fight and she’s the best archer to handle it!
Description: Solve first case as a P.I. – check. Make new friends – working on it. Realize that first case isn’t quite solved and that there’s a much larger conspiracy at work – aw, dang! Kate Bishop’s move to L.A. was off to such a great start, but when the first client of her new P.I. firm, Hawkeye Investigations, goes missing, Kate’s got to put in some serious overtime to find out who’s behind the shady business plaguing Venice Beach.

California’s supposed sunshine and smiles, right? Well, apparently the “City of Angels” missed the memo… Just when Kate Bishop thought she’d cracked this campus stalker case wide open, the crap hit the proverbial fan and now EVERYONE at Venice Beach has it out for her. Can Hawkeye stop the hate before it consumes everyone around her?[/quote]
Covers by: Julian Totino Tedesco, Elizabeth Torque.
Description: Tempers have reached record highs with an unbearable hate wave spreading across L.A. Hawkeye’s cracked the case on who’s responsible, but it’s going to take more than a few arrows to get the entire city to cool down. The odds maybe stacked against her, but this is where she thrives - nobody puts Katie in a corner!
Description: What would J. Jones do? New arc starts here! Everything is coming up Kate! She’s got fancy new Hawkeye Investigations window sign, a burgeoning P.I. business (albeit a temporarily unlicensed one), new friends and even some promising looking love interests on the horizon. So when her mentor, Jessica Jones, surfaces in LA on a case, Kate jumps at the chance to learn from the master (and show off, obviously). But the City of Angels has long history of crushing dreams.
Description: An interstate missing persons case should be pretty open-and-shut for a pro detective like Jessica Jones – especially with the help of Kate Bishop, A.K.A. Hawkeye, A.K.A. L.A.'s newest P.I. extraordinaire. Turns out taking a back seat isn’t something Kate excels at…and it doesn’t help that she’s so eager to show her mentor how sick her super-sleuthing skills are. The two gumshoes will have to find a way to work together if there’s any hope of tracking down their missing starlet. « What Would J. Jones Do? » Part 2!
J’ai lu les 4 premiers épisodes et cette série est vraiment très bien. C’est frais, tonique.
Par contre, je découvre que Michael Walsh remplace Leonardo Romero sur le #5 et le #6 : c’est un bon fill-in, il a un style de dessin similaire, mais j’espère quand même que Romero n’a pas lâché l’affaire. (A moins que Walsh et Romero dessinent un arc chacun à tour de rôle ?)
D’après les sollicitations, Leonardo Romero sera de retour sur les #7 et 8.[/quote]
Bonne nouvelle.
Du coup, j’ai l’impression que Romero et Walsh vont se relayer, un arc à tour de rôle : ça sera chouette à lire.
En tout cas, je vous recommande ce titre. Kate Bishop est très bien écrite, c’est drôle, il y a du rythme. C’est un petit comic-book bien sympa qu’il faut soutenir.
Description: Hawkeye finally gets a lead on the top-secret case that brought her out to Los Angeles in the first place - and it might be more than she bargained for. In order to solve this mystery, Kate will have to take a good hard look and who she is and where she came from. But is she really ready to face the ghosts of her past?
Description: Hawkeye’s investigation takes a dark and surprising turn as a face from her past resurfaces. And Kate can’t help but wonder: Does this case go back further than she knows? Back to the beginning? One thing’s for certain, solving this mystery could unravel everything Kate holds dear.
Description: Hawkeye tries to solve a case with too many uncomfortable similarities to her own life, almost as if fixing things for her young client will fix things for herself (spoiler alert: That’s not how it works, Kate)! At least she’s getting to punch through her frustrations courtesy of the. Worst. Fight. Club. Ever. Right? And just when she thinks she’s coming to terms with her new reality (thank you, therapeutic violence!), Kate gets thrown a curve ball she never saw coming…but maybe should have!
Description: Kate Bishop is not being herself. She’s being way extra troublesome. Which, since this is Kate, says a lot. Skipping out on her case work, partying way too hard is one thing, but when her friends get in trouble and need a helping hand from Hawkeye and she doesn’t come through, it becomes clear that something is really off. Who is this fake Kate, and what’s she done with the real deal?
HAWKEYE #12

Kelly Thompson : Yeah, as some of you are guessing from that cover, #16 will be our last issue of #Hawkeye. Obviously I’m disappointed, but I’m really proud of our book & 16 issues is a solid number in modern times. And there’s maybe something interesting coming next? We’ll see!
