Hawkgirl #52 - DC

Ok, first of all we have the team supreme, Walt Simonson writing and Howard Chaykin drawing. The reason they are the team supreme, is because had they switched roles, it would have been just as awesome. Again we're in a 1 year later title, where, Hawkman died or disappeared or something during their space battle. Therefore, Shayera has come back and taken over his role as curator of the museum, and turned the book into a book about a hot chick, which seems to be doing well for everyone right now. There's some kind of mystery going on in the depths of the museum, which is where the conflict comes in because the people that normally finance them are trying to cut them off so they can obtain whatever the item is. Add to this Shayera's anxiety and dreaming about past lives, mostly in Egyptian times. There's also the coy love interest of someone who she seems interested in, but then she's not. And those scene's that Howard draws of her getting out of bed in her nighty, RAWRRR!!! Meow!!!! Walter & Howard are definitely the dynamic duo. Well, so are Frank Miller & Jim Lee over on All-Star comics, but these guys don't get as much recognition. And they deserve it. Fantastic book. This is a must have. Walt & Howard took over with issue #50, so they are 3 issues into their run. If you can get the previous 2, I would definity suggest it.
