What is it with you and dissing on sci-fi? DC is loaded with it. And has been for years. Superman is sci-fi. I really don't get your gripe in your reviews other than you miss the 50s.
Long ago, Hawkman was the leader of the Justice Society, but what is he now? Still a hero or another relic in a museum? Everything changes when he finds himself haunted by not only the past, but also the vengeful spirit of a wayward thief.
