Synopsis: Hawkman, Hawkgirl and Adam Strange find themselves in the middle of a galactic war, and it has something to do with a dead guy named Onimar Synn.

Thoughts: Yeah... uh... not much in the way of story. Hawkman was recommended to me because this self-admitted Marvel zombie wanted to branch out into more DC titles, but this wasn't a good "jumping on point" (as they say). What little story is there certainly didn't entice future reading on my part. Basically, it's the first chapter in a three-part story, but it feels like part twelve of eighteen. Or whatever. Batista's art, however, is phenomenal in the way of detail! Hawkman's wings and gear must be seen, and I'd love to see him on Green Lantern.
