Hawkman #16
The fresh look at the Hawks' past continues! Shayera, the space cop from Thanagar once known as Hawkwoman, ventures to St. Roch to discover the truth about her former partner. But Hawkgirl isn't exactly happy to see her...or to learn about the customary Thanagarian greeting! Plus, Hawkman reveals how he copes with loss from life to life.
Your request for Thunderbolts #163 has been completed!

Hawkman #15
Shayera Thal, the Thanagarian Hawkwoman, returns to the world of Hawkman! But her motives for seeking out Carter and Kendra aren't exactly filled with good intentions... Featuring artwork by IDENTITY CRISIS penciller Rags Morales!
This was actually kind of fun. Luke is still an idiot for leaving the Thunderbolts when he's supposed to be leading them, and there isn't really a Thunderbolts team anymore now that most of them flew the coop. But that aside, the stuff going on with the escapees was actually entertaining. Going back in time and running into pre-ice Captain America was fun, although Namor seemed really poorly writt more

Thunderbolts #163
YOUR EYES DO NOT DECEIVE YOU! The Thunderbolts have pulled off THE GREATEST ESCAPE IN HISTORY, and joining the powerful ex-cons are CAPTAIN AMERICA and NAMOR the SUB-MARINER! This new era takes the kings of supercrime to a whole new level - at light speed!
I'm not sure what this has to do with Fear Itself anymore. Why is it still a tie-in issue? Juggernaut is nowhere to be seen. And where is Luke Cage? I've forgotten what the supposed leader of the Thunderbolts is doing, and that's not a good sign. The writing is a bit cringe, and one of the few things this series had going for it (the art) took a step down in this issue. This is just becoming a cho more

Thunderbolts #162
It's a major battle with major upheaval as the Thunderbolts are transformed completely and others will reveal secret agendas - and betray their team. This explosive finale will change the Thunderbolts in profound ways, and turn old friends into bitter enemies. Don't miss it!
These Fear Itself tie-ins are getting tedious... FIVE tie-in issues? Seems excessive.

Thunderbolts #161
FEAR ITSELF TIE-IN! Juggernaut has brought destruction to the American Midwest. His team - the alpha squad of the Thunderbolts - have caught the full fury of Cain Marko joined to the ancient force of The Serpent. It all comes down to this! A stand has to be taken and the worst threats of a lost age will face the worst threats of today- the combined...
The art is great, the story is fine, but the writing needs improvement. I'm just not feeling much depth to these characters. What should've been a powerful moment between Moonstone and Juggernaut fell flat cause we haven't really gotten any strong character building yet this run. The action and good art only get you so far. What this series is lacking most of all...is heart.

Thunderbolts #160
FEAR ITSELF TIE-IN! The Raft prison has been destroyed. Hundreds of the most powerful criminals in the world are on the loose. But their threat is nothing compared to that of the one man who was already unstoppable and now wields godlike power. XXXXX XXXXXX is tearing a path across the United States, obliterating everything before him - and now the...
Way too long for a tie-in issue. The art was not great, and the short stories weren't nearly interesting enough. The most interesting part of the Thunderbolts tying into Fear Itself was Juggernaut's transformation, and we didn't see him at all in this overly long issue.

Thunderbolts #159
Now the Thunderbolts will begin to learn the true meaning of FEAR ITSELF! Frank Tieri, Jen Van Meter & Joe Caramanga join series writer Jeff Parker to give us all a side of the story as the Thunderbolts try to hold themselves and their world together against tide of anarchy!

Boom. Friend-zoned.

Thunderbolts #157
Eastern Europe. Castles. Witches. Werewolves. Satana is having interesting effects on her team members, The Thunderbolts - and now the daughter of Satan will lead them into the Occult! Back in the states, Songbird takes her initial crew of NEXT Thunderbolts out to see how they work together. Hint: It's not a good time to be in charge of Thunderbolt...

Hawkman #8
Guest-starring the Atom! It's time for some "Small Talk," as Hawkman's old friend from the JLA stops by to visit the Winged Wonder. Plus, Hawkgirl continues to search for her parents' murderer. But solving the mystery might make her the killer's next victim.
This was a bit of a slog to read mainly due to the heavy southern accents Robinson insisted on employing throughout the whole issue. I had to read most lines twice so that I could understand them, and since they weren't all that interesting in the first place, it was twice as much of a pain. Story-wise, it actually wasn't bad. We get a look at a past life of Hawkman and Hawkgirl and the founding o more

Hawkman #7
James Robinson writes the first "Lives Past" issue, showing the former lives of the Winged Wonder. It's back to the Old West, where we get a glimpse into the St. Roch of yesteryear, along with a look into the life and times of a gunslinger by the name of Nighthawk!

Egh. Robinson overdid it with the accents

Thunderbolts #156
The Raft is full of action as candidates vie for selection on the second squad of Thunderbolts, BETA TEAM! The main team isn't too happy about Warden Walker's initiative to expand their ranks, but even they are curious: out of the Marvel Universe vast pool of powerhouse criminals, who will make the cut? Many are called, but in this issue few are c...
