Kate Bishop proved that she could sustain her own series with her solo plot in Matt Fraction and Annie Wu’s Hawkeye issues, but readers have had to wait to see Kate at the center of an ongoing book. The wait is finally over with the new Hawkeye series debuting next week, and writer Kelly Thompson, artist Leonardo Romero, and colorist Jordie Bellaire are taking Kate back to familiar territory for the new title, planting her on the West Coast to fight crime in sunny California. For this first story, Thompson is taking a cue from the classic ’90s thriller Point Break as Kate finds herself up against surfer bank robbers in Venice Beach, and it’s a fun source of inspiration that emphasizes how this environment differs from Kate’s old New York City home.
