Hawkgirl #64 - DC


Well it seems that Kendra is in deep with Hath-Set. She's going to Metropolis to get some more information. But, the Museum is destroyed before she can even get there. Hath-Set is waiting for her, in the form of one of his descendants. But Superman shows up, before he can do much more harm. In searching the remains, he finds a disc that's addressed to her. She takes it to Oracle to decipher only to find out that it's the Turin Kingslist. "An inventory of all the Pharaohs of Egypt. It's virtually unique! But the original document is in pieces. No one even knew it existed!!" She gets a cryptic call from someone to meet her at a bar on the wharf. As soon as she walks in she's directed to the back room where she finds a replica of a 4th dynasty temple burial chamber. What she doesn't know is that it's been set up for her. Hath-Set wants to put her in the Queen's Sarcophagus and take her back to Egypt. He has someone there waiting for her, the girl that died in the museum explosion earlier. She overpowers Kendra and forces her into the Sarcophagus. Hath-Set then packs everything up and gets on the first freighter for Egypt. After waiting for a while, and hearing nothing, Oracle contacts Hawkman to let him know what's happened. But he gets to the dock to late. The freighter is already well on it's way. So next issue he'll be looking for some retribution from Hath-Set. I think this may be setting up the final story-arc for this book. And that's sad. Because I've been diggin' it. I think Walt Simonson has been doing a fantastic job with these stories. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
