2。5/5 A finale that stumbles all over itself rushing to its finale before cancellation。 What I find frustrating about this book is that ANY of the plots here would be suitable endings， but instead we get 3 and none of them feel polished enough。 I wish this team had picked an ending and stuck with it so this series could have gone out with a bang。 Instead it takes 3 more laps across the finish line and takes the scenic route every time。 This is the best Hawkman series to date， but I don’t blame p 2。5/5 A finale that stumbles all over itself rushing to its finale before cancellation。 What I find frustrating about this book is that ANY of the plots here would be suitable endings， but instead we get 3 and none of them feel polished enough。 I wish this team had picked an ending and stuck with it so this series could have gone out with a bang。 Instead it takes 3 more laps across the finish line and takes the scenic route every time。 This is the best Hawkman series to date， but I don’t blame people for not picking this one up。 。。。more

Robert Venditti concludes his epic run on the Hawkman series。 I enjoyed every minute of reading this final volume。 This series really proves that every DC comics character is worthy of being taken seriously。 The artist and colorist crew really match Venditti's spectacular writing。 The artwork ranges from good to perfection。 In this volume Venditti takes readers all the way back to the start of Hawkman's reincarnation journey through the history of the DC universe。 A lot of questions are answered Robert Venditti concludes his epic run on the Hawkman series。 I enjoyed every minute of reading this final volume。 This series really proves that every DC comics character is worthy of being taken seriously。 The artist and colorist crew really match Venditti's spectacular writing。 The artwork ranges from good to perfection。 In this volume Venditti takes readers all the way back to the start of Hawkman's reincarnation journey through the history of the DC universe。 A lot of questions are answered bur yet Venditti leaves the door open for the next writer to play around with the Hawkman legend。 I have to say if we never get another Hawkman series anytime soon I am ok with the ending to this series。 It was so satisfying。 There is great action in this book and I found the Hawkman and Hawkgirl romance intriguing。 The inclusion of the original JSA team just really wet my appetite for a Venditti & hitch JSA series。 Venditti really seems to love writing the Golden Superhero stuff。 I highly recommend this book to superhero loving readers。 Definitely checkout these Venditti series & titles: Freedom Fighters: Rise of a Nation， Superman: Man of Tomorrow （2020） #1 and Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps， Vol。 1: Sinestro's Law。 。。。more

Hawks Eternal has the great fortune to speak directly to the times in which it was created， a fortuitous coincidence that only further cements the timeless quality of the whole run。 I’m speaking of course of the plague doctor episode， a brief moment that again emphasizes so much of what Venditti’s < I>Hawkman>/I> was and might have been in an era less quick to cut short its run。Like the last volume the stories within cleverly encapsulate a mandated crossover event， in this case the Sky Tyrant ar Hawks Eternal has the great fortune to speak directly to the times in which it was created， a fortuitous coincidence that only further cements the timeless quality of the whole run。 I’m speaking of course of the plague doctor episode， a brief moment that again emphasizes so much of what Venditti’s < I>Hawkman>/I> was and might have been in an era less quick to cut short its run。Like the last volume the stories within cleverly encapsulate a mandated crossover event， in this case the Sky Tyrant arc that unites a Lex Luthor event and Scott Snyder’s Death Metal， while remaining thoroughly grounded in Venditti’s own work， a masterclass in corporate comics storytelling if there ever was one。 Then the story shifts back to rounding out the big reveal of why Hawkman， and Hawkwoman， has endured so many reincarnations， and then a Justice Society interlude， and a reunion with the jealous Egyptian foe who at one time embodied the start of the whole cycle， all of it a greatest hits （as was the reprise of Shadow Thief last volume） to further contextualize everything， along with the appearances of classic Hawkman allies Atom and Adam Strange。Simply put， this entire run represents a single way to explore Hawkman’s whole legacy。And what a grand one it is， especially in the hands of Robert Venditti。 Twenty-nine glorious issues， four volumes， an epic sweep of superheroism。 This is what a modern classic looks like。 I keep saying that， but the material attests， the way it all plays out。 If it had to be so relatively brief （Starman>/I> had double the space）， it could not have been done better， all arcs and singular moments to grand effect。And finally， in this volume， Hawkwoman included。 That alone is worth the price of admission， to solidify the last material as worthy of what preceded it， and in some ways， this volume almost a complete experience itself。 Which is to say， if you were really pressed for time， Hawks Eternal is the essential volume of an essential experience。 。。。more

Great end to great run。 Sad to see it end but it’s a solid & complete package with a good dramatic arc。 It’s akin to Robinson’s Starman series as a good contained story。

A good end to a great resurrection of Hawkman。 Starts off with a continuation of the Year of the Villain story with Sky Tyrant in control of Carter's body。 Once that's resolved we wrap up the other loose ends from the series with the Lord Beyond the Void。 Then to wrap up the series we return to the Justice Society and those issues are fantastic。 Venditti does a good job of bobbing and weaving between what Geoff Johns established during his Hawkman run。 Fernando Pasarin's art is great。 Very detai A good end to a great resurrection of Hawkman。 Starts off with a continuation of the Year of the Villain story with Sky Tyrant in control of Carter's body。 Once that's resolved we wrap up the other loose ends from the series with the Lord Beyond the Void。 Then to wrap up the series we return to the Justice Society and those issues are fantastic。 Venditti does a good job of bobbing and weaving between what Geoff Johns established during his Hawkman run。 Fernando Pasarin's art is great。 Very detailed and controlled pencils。 It's a very classic style。 。。。more

A good wrap up to the current series that ties up some Hawkman continuity and gives him a soft reset。 Some of the art is especially worth checking out。 Pasarin has a flair for the Hawks & action scenes。 The Justice Society issue is perfect for JSA fans！

Hawkman has succumbed to the dark infection of the Batman Who Laughs， and only Hawkwoman and The Atom can save him！ Then it's time to meet The Lord Beyond The Void in an encounter that will change the Hawks forevermore！ And one final adventure awaits as the Hawks head back in time to face off with Hath-Set， winner takes all！Venditti's Hawkman has been a stellar take on the character， and I love how he uses the Year Of The Villain fallout here to push his story forward。 The Sky Tyrant stuff is a Hawkman has succumbed to the dark infection of the Batman Who Laughs， and only Hawkwoman and The Atom can save him！ Then it's time to meet The Lord Beyond The Void in an encounter that will change the Hawks forevermore！ And one final adventure awaits as the Hawks head back in time to face off with Hath-Set， winner takes all！Venditti's Hawkman has been a stellar take on the character， and I love how he uses the Year Of The Villain fallout here to push his story forward。 The Sky Tyrant stuff is a unique take on The Infected banner， and it allows for the spotlight to fall on Hawkwoman moreso than before。 The Lord Beyond The Void story feels like a good successor to the Deathbringers stuff from earlier in the run， and the last three issues are just full of nostalgia for me as the Justice Society turn up。 But while all these trappings are great， the core of the story remains Hawkman， Hawkwoman， their journey through space and time， and their love for each other。 Venditti has never forgotten this， which is what has made this run so successful for me personally。The biggest complaint I had about the last volume was the artwork， but that's completely remedied this time around as Fernando Pasarin pencils all but two of the issues collected。 His work has always been highly detailed and beautifully inked and coloured， and I'm glad to see that extend to this run。 The fill-ins are by Marco Castiello， who has definitely changed his style in recent years， and Marcio Takara， who pencils a Past Lives-type flashback issue。Hawks Eternal ends this era of Hawkman stories in the same vein as it has been thus far。 Venditti's scripts combined with Pasarin （and friends'） lovely pencils make for a book that may be about two people smashing things with a mace on the surface， but is far more heartfelt and emotional once you dig a little deeper。 。。。more
