Hawkeye, Issue #2 begins with a short summation of the previous issue in the form of a case file, and then it goes into Kate Bishop's arrest of Larry Gort, the love-sick stalker of her client, Mikka Nguyen, who unbeknownst to Kate, has been kidnapped. Bishop takes Larry Gort to the police precinct, but all she gets there is bureaucracy and tied hands. Her investigation is getting really sticky, and it has to do with a cult called Take Back Control.
While Hawkeye is the successor to Mockingbird, it has a whole different feel to it. Both Kate Bishop and Mockingbird have connections to Clint Barton, the original Hawkeye. Mockingbird was married to him, and Bishop is his partner and student. Kelly Thompson has some big shoes to fill; she's taking up the Hawkeye reigns from superstar authors, Jeff Lemire and Matt Fraction. This is a totally different title than the ones by those two writers, though. Kate Bishop is the star and only star.
