Hawkeye, Issue #3 begins with Kate Bishop being chased by the T.B.C., an organization dedicated to... uh, scaring women? That isn't really explained in the first two issues. Anyway, she's saved by Detective Rivera, who pushes her off a pier when everyone's chasing her. Detective Rivera doesn't want to explain much to Kate, but she does mention that there's mind control involved. Bishop is all on her own, without the Young Avengers or Clint Barton to back her up, a simple private eye who shoots arrows.
I don't like Hawkeye quite as much as I liked the now ended Mockingbird, but it's got its own charms. I love Jordie Bellaire's colors in particular; her use of purple is ubiquitous but reminiscent of Matt Hollingsworth's colors on the Fraction/Aja Hawkeye while still being unique. I do like this version of Hawkeye. I think the people who like female leads are similar to the people who like women's mixed martial arts. Some are down with it, and some simply aren't, for their own reasons.
