Huge improvement over the first one since the story now had pretty huge stakes since her dad was involved, I liked the flashbacks of her father and the mystery of her mom is really interesting, I also really liked issue 12, but still there’s something that kept me from loving it, still I’m really excited for vol 3

I'm really loving this series so far, and Kelly Thompson's quippy writing is the perfect complement to Matt Fraction's earlier work. (I really was not a fan of where Jeff Lemire took things after Fraction's run.) Yay, Team Feet!

The mystery deepens as Kate learns more about her father and faces off against a sort of clone. Kelly Thompson once again knocks it out of the park and the art from Romero and Walsh is killer. Absolute delight of noir / superhero

This series is another where art and writing and everything simply comes together in unison. I've enjoyed Bishop's character from the beginning, and Thomson's writing only makes that more true--backed by the rest of the creative team. The captions, the use of panels--everything is on point here.
Volume 2 brings Kate back with all the sass and attitude, all the adventure, and all the mystery that made volume 1 so excellent. With Bishop on the west coast, we get to see some new environments and less of the superhero foot-traffic that sometimes permeates Marvel stories. As such, Kate's character driven, street level adventures feel very free and focused on her. And the character cameos that do take place are effective for story and character interaction.
Volume 2 takes us deeper into Kate's past, hitting some strong emotional notes while sacrificing none of the quirkiness that makes these comics such a pleasure to read. In short, "Hawkeye: Kate Bishop" is a delightful series, and one that I am highly excited to continue reading.
