This story starts out in ancient Egypt. Apparently a para-demon has been sent to earth as punishment. On his way out he stole some on Darkseid's technology. The Pharaoh ends up killing the demon, and storing the artifact in an urn. Well guess where that urn ended up? In the Stonechat Museum. Well Hawkman & Hawkgirl have returned from Rann. And with her powers amping up, probably from Shiera's death, her feelings for Carter have also increased. So she finding it increasingly difficult to not be all over him. But Shiera comes to her in a vision and tells her, "Death is close by, Kendra, ready to reach out and touch you both. Be careful. Remember the past lives of the Hawks! The pattern Kendra! Break the pattern! Remember . . . . remember . . . . ". So all of this happens, as some girl breaks in to the museum, looking for the Urn. She finds it, but as she's trying to get away, she's hit by a car and killed. The Hawks are so worried about the Urn, that they don't see the artifact that falls out of it. But it seems the technology lends itself to fixing itself, and it sprouts some legs and crawls away. Carter and Kendra sit down and have a heart to heart. "Carter, you and Shiera . . . you two were one soul. You went away and left me . . . and now you show up and expect to pick up the pieces as if nothing had happened. I have a life. And I'm not going to give up a part of it again, just because it suits your convenience." And that's it. They're broken up. But as Hawkman flys away, she is balling. Obviously she still has very deep feelings toward him. And as the days go on, we see Carter spying on Kendra when she's out with the Detective, Henri. Great plot twist there, Walt. Nothing heats up the sexual tension like being dumped. Good storyline. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. Also I really like Renato Arlem's artwork. We don't have Howard anymore, but Renato is a pretty good fill-in.
