Review: Death of Hawkman #2

I’m going to ask a serious question: Why was this made? That’s seriously my question because there’s nothing of value to this comic. Whatever love anyone might have for these two characters, I can assure you that nothing is being added to their lore. There’s no “fan” moments to the story, and in the end, this will be quickly forgotten if it even makes it to its sixth issue. DC has made a lot of improvements since Rebirthing itself, but this… I don’t know what the fuck this is. It doesn’t feel like the rest of Rebirth, it doesn’t feel like the New 52, and it doesn’t feel like old DCU.

Review: Death of Hawkman #1

I give the notion of killing Hawkman a 5 out of 5. Unfortunately, I won’t be giving this comic the same score. As far as comics go, this one is generic and lacks any real consequences. If Hawkman actually dies, that will likely be the only thing to happen in the comic. The main reason is the underdeveloped DC space line of books. What’s currently going on in them? Are there any? Nothing and no are the answers to those questions so being thrust into space to watch Hawkman die is almost as anti-climactic as seeing him alive at the beginning of the issue.
