Howard Chaykin hasn't been on this book in a couple of months. Probably while he's doing the Guy Gardner thing. Hopefully he comes back, but, who knows. Anyways this issue our fill in artist is Renato Arlem. Of X-Factor fame. Great art. Has a style similar to Howard's, but, not really. Howard did do the cover though. But I really do like Renato's style. It's got a Howard feel to it, but it also has some Barry Kitson feel also. And he can really draw some sexy women. The panels with Kendra laying in bed, thinking about Carter was . . um . . . moving. This issue we have Blackfire coming after Hawkgirl. She killed Shiera, supposedly killed Carter, and now she wants to finish her collection with Hawkgirl. Kendra also decides to enhance her weapons, to go along with her enhanced powers, by using one of Batman's manufacturers, the Mole. This story is finished up in JSA Classified #21, and I think signals the return of Hawkman. I hope they give him his own book, or maybe feature him in different books. But I really hope they keep Kendra in this one. She's such a strong and interesting character. This book as come a long way in the last 10 issues. I really hope it keeps going that same direction.
