![]() Rating: - "You damn bird!"Hawkman, to me, is what Conan the Barbarian would've been like if the Cimmerian had been a superhero and been given the gift of flight. There's not really too many capes out there who's more brutal and, shall we say, old-school barbaric than Hawkman. It's why I like him, although the whole incarnation/Thanagar riff is pretty cool too. But, continuity-wise, Hawkman and Hawkgirl have had it pretty rough since DC overhauled its universe with Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1985. Quite a bit of ret-conning ... Read More Rating: - Hawkman: hidden gem of the DC UniverseCombines the first 6 issues of the current volume, and part of the Secret Files #1. Written by Geoff Johns, and drawn by Rags Morales. I knew next to nothing about the character and his complex history, but had high hopes in the creative team. Hawkman is now a favorite character of mine! He's conservative, and he's not afraid to swing a big hammer at bad guys -- what's not to love about that? Here's the skinny on Hawk... he has been reincarnated several times throughout history, along with ... Read More Rating: - First 6 Issues Of One Of The Best Ongoings In ComicsI'd like to preface this review by saying that I have this material, but not in this format; I have the original comic books reprinted in this Trade Paperback, and the Secret Files book, part of which is reprinted herein. I highly urge anyone who buys this to get the full "Hawkman Secret Files # 1" comic as well; I find the DC Secret Files books to be indispensable in getting the full impact of the series they cover (besides which, they're tremendous reads on their own merits). In Hawkman's case, the full ... Read More Rating: - Superhero Romance Done Right!Superheroes are, ultimately, romantic fantasies of heroism. Here, we have a character with old-world chivalric values living in today's world. And in this book, we see superhero romance done right. Geoff Johns writes with passion. He obviously loves these characters. Rags Morales is one of the best artists in comics today. And together they have delivered a superhero story with heart - as in a "broken" one. Hawkman returns from oblivion in the "Return of Hawkman" JSA storyline only to find that the ... Read More Rating: - Fly softly and carry a big mace!Even if I hadn't written the profile pages for this tpb I'd still go out of my way to tell people that it rocks. The introduction by Johns alone is worth the price of admission. Hawkman has been given a new lease on his four-color life and has never flown straighter nor looked better (with art by RAGS MORALES predominantly, the listing up there for Patrick notwithstanding). This is a trade collection that you'll go back to time and again for adventure and mystery. Hawkman: Endless Flight (Book 1) Buy superhero comic book collectibles at the Superhero Mall! |
