They were cheap, so I was able to get all 17 issues for a song, but I would have gladly paid twice the price for such great Hawk-adventures. I hope that you'll be doing some more reviews of these, as these books are by far my favorite Hawkman comics so far. The action is good, the writing is sharp, and I really love the portrayals of the Hawks and their supporting cast. I'm particularly fascinated by George Emmett. I hate that the series ended before his character got a bit more exploration. The team on this book did something pretty neat by taking him from just a James Gordon clone to an interesting and distinct character.<br /><br />This issue in particular was pretty great, and that final panel with Hawkman....wow, pretty intense. Tony Isabella has certainly impressed me with his work on this book. It's a shame he's not really working in the industry anymore. I agree that Lionmane is a great villain. He's just begging for a return engagement. I'm going to have to add him into my own little Hawkman project.<br /><br />As for the Kirby-8000, maybe it's some kind of reference to the abominable way that Marvel was treating the King around this time, but I'm not sure what it means either.<br /><br />Anyway thanks for the recommendation, and thanks for the continuing work in support of a very undervalued character.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
