Hawk and Dove arrive in Gotham City hot on the trail of a villain who has stolen a deadly weapon from their home turf in Washington D.C.! The trail leads from the nation's capitol all the way to the doorstep of the Dynamic Duo. Get ready for Batman and...Dove? Legendary creator Rob Liefeld flies solo in this issue with a story that'll change the way you see Gotham forever!
Liefeld's solo romp on "Hawk & Dove" reads like a fever dream of an energetic 12 year old after a busy afternoon playing with his toys. If you can manage to get swept up in the flow then you'll kill five minutes having thin and calorie free fun. If, however, you are after anything resembling a cohesive narrative with layers or art showcasing the maturing form of comics then you are flat out of luck. I'm pretty sure you'll know if this comic is for you or not before you even pick it up; search your feelings, you'll know them to be true. Read Full Review
Anyways, so this book felt like something of a scramble. And there was nothing about it that makes me want to read the last 2 issues of the run. And it's a shame because the threads about the avatars mythos in the first issues and the Dawn/Don connection won't be resolved. But that means that DC thought that THIS book was a better direction than the way the book was going the first 4 issues. And that is the scariest thing about this issue. Because it makes me worry.

In the context of this series, this issue is pretty decent. It's a shame that this was the only time Hawk & Dove went up against a somewhat original villainess. The Bat-gueststars were a welcome bonus.
