The first thing this book has going for it is that it was written and drawn by Walt Simonson. And this space epic, universal war thing is what Walt's best at. This book almost has the feel to it of the old Beta Ray Bill stories from Thor. I'm hoping that this is the storyline that finally gets Hawkman back to Earth. He actually does for a moment, but it's only to get the Absorbascon, to hide the testament pod that he's been given with all the proof they've gathered against Darkfire, I think, and to swing by the Stonechat Museum to leave something behind for Kendra. But then he goes right back to Rann, and at the end of this issue is ready to go toe to toe with Darkfire over the future of the planet. Fantastic look and feel to this book. It just goes to prove that after all these years Walt still has it. And like I said, I hope this is the story-arc that brings Carter home. Or to his adopted home. Plus I'd like to see some more of that heat between him and Kendra.
