For instance, while I had my issues with <i>Hawkworld</i>, I liked the harder sci-fi angle Tim Truman took. I just want a more heroic Hawkman contrasted against that take.

Recycle, Reuse, Renew!<br /><br />I love me some Hawkman and Hawkgirl. However, the Brightest Day Hawkman/Hawkgirl storyline really started slow for me. I mean REALLY slow. It wasn't until the near-end that I started to get excited for their storyline. <br /><br />I really liked James Robinson/Geoff Johns' take on Hawkman/Hawkgirl being reincarnated over and over with the Hath-Set curse. I think it added so much to the character. It was all about legacy. Then Jim Starlin seemed to be returning Hawkman to his sci-fi roots. Now it appears Johns wants to head in a Sword & Sorcery type direction. While I think that's a neat idea, it didn't exactly work out from a sales perspective for "Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis". Better luck to Hawkman in this area! I want a decent Hawkman/Hawkgirl ongoing!<br /><br />The Irredeemable Shag<br />http://firestormfan.comThe Irredeemable Shaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01620741461584124844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863067557730775717.post-8904906057106314552011-04-26T20:47:38.315-04:002011-04-26T20:47:38.315-04:00I'd like to see that mix of sci-fi and fantasy...I'd like to see that mix of sci-fi and fantasy as well. I don't know that we will get it; Hawkworld and its trappings are more fantastical than science fiction-y, really. But just having Carter and Shiera back together again should be a nice change of pace we have not gotten in it's classic form in a long, long time.<br /><br />I think I may be more prone to liking certain things than you, Frank. I don't know if that is a knock on me, a knock on you, or just a general statement of fact. Go figure. But with a series focusing on this particular set of heroes, unless it was a total dog I was going to dig it. And dig it I did.<br /><br />Like Shag said, what a long strange trip it has been!Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352646370918575626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863067557730775717.post-36651410245980226412011-04-26T16:16:50.914-04:002011-04-26T16:16:50.914-04:00Phooey.

If anything, I made you work to reformat the beast.<br /><br />I obviously didn't enjoy the series as much as you, but I think it's great that the Hawks have moved past the vicious resurrection cycle. Hopefully we'll see more sci-fi in their barbarism, as indicated by this book, and they'll finally get to be the one happy couple in the DCU.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.com
