Kate Bishop heads to Los Angeles to get away from New York, life, and Clint Barton - but not away from trouble! Because Madame Masque is hanging out at poolside with the rich and famous as well! As Kate helps a reclusive and Sixties-damaged pop music genius find his lost masterpiece, Madame Masque finds Kate. By which we mean starts trying to kill her again. This one has it all! Characters! Plot! Story! Dialogue! Theme! Meaning! Message! Action! A little exposition! Fire! Arrows! Criminals! Neighbors! Large bodies of water! Clients! Cops who don't care! A system that victimizes the victims! The dog! In a broken town where cynicism and apathy has its claws around the throat of the good and decent, Lady Hawkguy is the only hero you can trust!

This book was really amazing! Plus this book is solely on the kick-ass Kate Bishop who I absolutely love and enjoy reading about her, and her little adventure she had at L.A. What can I say Kate Bishop is the best Lady Hawkeye Ever! Kate decided to leave New York and go visit L.A. because she was getting sick of Clint aka Hawkeye attitude so she went on to L.A. for a little vacation away from everybody. Kate other reason to go to L.A. she wanted to do more as a super hero and prove she can do well on her own as well. While she went to L.A. trouble ensues I won't say what trouble happens because spoilers, but I did learn a little bit more about the villains in this amazing book. Which all of the villains are very creepy and strange in there own way. There is a lot of action that happens in this third volume which I love, I also love that it only had one plotline going. Which this graphic novel didn't have different plotline that usually confuse me like with the first and second volume. And this plotline continues on with everything with Kate in L.A. plus I am really getting use with the different graphics in this book. Because I really did love and enjoy all the graphics in this book, which surprise me a lot. Because I really was not a fan of the graphic in the first and second volume. All and all I absolutely love and enjoy this third volume the most and I dare say it is my favorite from the Hawkeye graphic novels. But I will most definitely tried to continue reading The Hawkeye graphic novel, because after that ending with Kate Bishop find out a lot especially she find out a secret that the villains are planning to do. Just ugh I need to know and learn more about what happens next!!!!!

















Matt Fraction (Writer)

Before joining Marvel Comics, writer Matt Fraction had already established his reputation as an emerging new talent with his work on Last of the Independents. Fraction’s tale of a bank robbery gone wrong earned him a coveted “A” grade from Entertainment Weekly, as well as interest from Marvel. After taking on a short story assignment in the anthology title X-Men Unlimited, Fraction was handpicked to launch two of Marvel’s biggest projects for 2006: Punisher War Journal with artist Ariel Olivetti, and Immortal Iron Fist, with co-writer Ed Brubaker and artist David Aja. Both series met with overwhelming critical and fan acclaim, selling out their respective first issues within days of release. This led to two even bigger projects: The launching of Invincible Iron Man, a high-profile first issue premiering the same month as the blockbuster film; and Uncanny X-Men, written in tandem with Immortal Iron Fist partner Brubaker. In addition to his Marvel work, Fraction writes Casanova, an off-beat series illustrated by Gabriel Bá which recently moved to Marvel’s Icon imprint. He is also a talented filmmaker and graphic designer, heading up the MK12 firm with a worldwide client base that includes Adidas, MTV and Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. Fraction remains one of Marvel’s most popular writers; other credits include The Order and Thor: Ages of Thunder.
