Ok, this book has come a long way. It was good when Geoff Johns was writing it. But now, it's just incredible. With the mixture of Walt Simonson's story, and Howard Chaykin's art, it's just sheer perfection. Another thing that I like about it, and I don't think these people get enough credit, but the coloring is just genius. Every page is so vibrant and bright, it's mesmerizing. Michelle Madsen does the colors, as I think she usually always does for Walt. But the two of them together are perfect symetry. What's going on in the story? Well this scumbag Christopher Roderic is trying to obtain financial control of the Stonechtat Museum, where Kendra works. We don't really know why yet, other than there's something under the museum in the catacombs. Somehow he's hooked up with a mystical order that can bring people back from the dead, and is channeling this powerful being from another dimension. So, at the end of this book, somehow they bring Carter back. Kendra get's a call from his office, and when she get's there he's sprawled out on the floor in his Hawkman gear, barely conscious. I really look forward to this book every month now. It's nice to see such a strong woman character that won't take any shit off anyone. I know there's other one's out there, but Kendra just has this certain Ooomph that's intoxicating. She's a fantastic character.
