Vulpecula is trying to influence Hawkgirl's future by making bargains in her past, forcing Kendra to navigate a maze of her lowest moments! Can Kendra stop Vulpecula from picking loose all the threads of her history? Or will the tapestry of Hawkgirl's life finally unravel altogether?!
This issue sets up the final battle to be seen in the last issue very well. This issue did not feel overly rushed or packed for the second to last issue. Instead it gives a good synopsis of the life of Kendra Saunders and her steps in becoming Hawkgirl even including a nod to her death in Blackest Night. Read Full Review
This series has been an intriguing combination of a deep, introspective, and personal tale and a high-intensity superhero adventure, and that's never clearer than in this issue. Read Full Review
It's a wonderfully drawn comic, and really gives the spotlight to Kendra's Hawkgirl throughout the years. Read Full Review
Hawkgirl #5 is a tedious, self-pitying, frequently nonsensical chore of a comic to read with spectacular art. It's clear Axelrod never understood the character or had a clear idea of how to build on her mythology, so the obligatory final issue next month will, at best, be a blessed relief. Read Full Review
This was not awful. It wasn't good either. It feels like the first time Axelrod has focused on the story she wants to tell and not her desire to spit out social commentary.
