STARRING HEROES FROM THE PRE-FLASHPOINT DCU! Just as they've finally been reunited, the romance between Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon is sentenced to execution by Flashpoint Hawkman and Hawkwoman!
Some thoughts:
--Gail Simone writing Hawkman? And Gail Simone placing said Hawkman against Nightwing and Oracle? I don't predict this working out well for the Winged Wonder.
--On the other hand, Jan Duursema drawing the Hawks is a welcome surprise! I have been working my way through Hawkman Volume 3, and in the early days of that series (and the latter days of Hawkworld), her work was almost always a treat. So it should be good to see her handle them once again.
--I don't remember the Hawks playing much of a role in Flashpoint; but to be fair, I didn't read Flashpoint so maybe I just missed it. The Jill Thompson cover really works the "Conan with wings" vibe, which I am cool with. The offset emblem on the chest harness is a nice asymmetrical touch as well.
I am going to be picking and choosing which Convergence books I get, but if you put the Hawks front and center, I am going to be pretty severely tempted. I normally would not buy a Bat-book written by Simone, but I think my curiosity has been piqued enough to check this one out. What do you folks think, will you be checking this miniseries out?
