  Personally, as someone who has lived closely to <A HREF="http://twomorrows.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=667" target="_blank">the character and history of Hawkman</A> for the past eighteen months, this "bold new direction" for the character concerns me greatly. Geoff Johns and James Robinson hammered out the historical mess and made it a palatable story that fit the DCU to a "T". Obviously, however, DC felt that Hawkman would be better served as a space champion, given the redundancy of Rann-Thanagar skirmishes since 2005. I think DC just needs to revisit the character's successes and failures, make a note of them, staple the note to their forehead and make a solid effort to avoid the failures. With this issue, I see one of the failures ""- uncertainty of character ""- creeping back in and I fear Hawkman may have some fairly brutal days ahead of him. Read Full Review
