The creative team of Venditti, Hitch, and Sinclair have delivered another delightful issue in what will hopefully be a long-running series. The possibilities for storytelling with the character of Carter Hall have been pushed wide open with the new idea that his past lives now stretch across time and space. The DC Universe is ripe with fantastic alien worlds that would make a great setting for a Hawkman adventure. Read Full Review

Robert Venditti and Bryan Hitch continue to make me want to get my hands on the next issues of this incredible series. Venditti provides us with a Hawkman that is full of potential, depth and has a compelling story arc. Hitch's art helps bring all of these aspects to life in this comic. I can't wait where they take Hawkman next for us. Read Full Review

This series is fun! Hawkman has always been a character with so much potential and we have a writer is not afraid to do what he wants with the character. Everything about Hawkman has been put on the table; his origins, his background, his powers, his costume, Hawkgirl, etc. Venditti isn't going to reveal everything all at once about Hawkman. It's coming one piece at a time and it's going to be a blast. The flight continues! Read Full Review

An exciting journey across the sands of time that effortlessly soars above the rest! Read Full Review

HAWKMAN #2 is a fantastic issue. The artwork by Bryan Hitch is absolutely breathtaking. His visuals capture the beauty of flight and the intricate details of Hall's past lifetimes. Carter Hall's determination to uncover the truth behind his reincarnations makes him such a captivating character. HAWKMAN #2 is definitely a must-read, especially if you're already a Hawkman fan.

Hawkman seems primed to be a fast riser for DC in the back half of 2018. It's got the right creative team and a very fresh approach to bring this character back to the same type of glory his peers enjoyed at the start of DC Rebirth. Read Full Review

I'm not sure where they're going with this (which is a good thing), but it promises to make sense of the hash that Hawkman's history hasbecome - so I'm all for it! Read Full Review

Wow… writer Robert Vendetti successfully puts a clever twist on Hawkman lore, particularly with all his past lives and how it transcends both time and space. Sure, we don't have any answers but the story, dialogue and characterisation is enjoyable from start to finish, especially with the larger than life art from Bryan Hitch. Read Full Review

I'm more fascinated by Hawkman's story than I have been in a long time, and this is looking like a worthy successor to Venditti's extended Green Lantern run. Read Full Review

Venditti is tapping into something pretty solid here that has me really curious to see how far he's able to go with it, especially with Bryan Hitch as his artist. Between that and the solid color design we get something that looks great and reads well here in trying to break apart a mystery and understand the truth of what's going on. Read Full Review

As readers are ushered deeper into Carter Hall's labyrinthine past, it becomes obvious that things aren't as they appear and that there are darker secrets waiting to be uncovered. This issue gets off to a slow but promising start where Venditti manages to set the tone of the issue and prepare readers for the mysterious time-and-space-spanning adventure that awaits.

Hawkman #2 takes us deeper into the mystery of Hawkman's many incarnations. We may walk away with a few more questions than answers, but this is a story where you have to be willing to accept that these questions will get you from one issue into the next no matter how long they take to answer. Read Full Review

Silent KnightsHawkman #2 build beautifully on the first issue and continues to draw you in to the mysteries of Carter Hall's past. The pitch perfect art matches the tone of the story. A little house cleaning and the book is well on it's way. A solid add to any pull list and a great read for kids who are into ancient history.  Read Full Review

This is a solid book that is redefining one of DC Comics' most underrated heroes. Read Full Review

Another Great Issue, hope it continues. Read Full Review

Overall this book is a must read in my opinion and I can't wait to see where it goes from here. Read Full Review

Solid pacing, artwork, and plot progression make this issue a fun action comic, although it's not quite a must-read. Read Full Review

Hawkman #2 is a solid issue, and totally exciting for anyone who's missed seeing Carter Hall around, whether that be in the old comics, recent ones, or animated cartoons. It's a fun story along with top notch art. If continuity scares you, but you like the character, give this a shot. Likely, you'll have too much fun to be concerned about the historical nuance and find yourself happily lost along with an old friend. Read Full Review

Venditti plays it a little too safe overall writing this book. I wish he had more guts and just went crazy with the ideas. Still, it's an easily read book that passed the time enjoyably enough. Read Full Review

The art remains strong in this series and the story continues to intrigue.......... and while I have a few nitpicks here and there, this is a series that I will totally be looking forward to each month because it seems that the main focuses of what we got...... (you know, besides for trying to fix the convoluted nature of Hawkman)....... is adventure and fun. Read Full Review

Don't expect this to be a heavy hitter, but do expect an interesting development that answers a few questions and opens up a few more. It's a solid continuation of depth without boring us to death. Read Full Review

After an intriguing first issue, Hawkman #2 ends up falling flat when compared to its predecessor. Read Full Review

What if Indiana Jones was crossed with the most interesting elements of Wolverine and made into a bonafide Superhero. That's the premise of DC Comics new Hawkman series. That may have always been the premise but my first experience with the character outside of the working knowledge that he dies and reincarnates over and over again along with the fact that his backstory is convoluted.

Hawkman #2 is an amazing read. Hawkman is revealed to have been reincarnating across time as well as space. This beautifully and simply explains every incarnation of Hawkman that has ever appeared and also makes adds weight to Carter's backstory as an archeologist. Like Indiana Jones, we can pop into any time in history and run into an interesting Hawkman story. With Carter's memories of his past incomplete, Robert Venditti also establishes mystery. The audience and the protagonist are in the same position, seeking discovery and the story is better for it.

In this issue, Carter documents his discovery for Shiera (Hawkgirl) and seeks answers in the Horus caged exhibit in The British Museum.  While investigating the exhibit, Carter is mysteriously transferred back to ancient Egypt in full costume and encounters one of his former selves Koufu. Koufu has been waiting for his arrival and attacks. Hawkman is eventually able to calm Koufu down by mentioning the the "Kalmoran". Koufu mentions a map and wonders if Hawkman is meant to fight the "Deathbringers". At this point  Hawkman is sent back to the present. He discovers the map in one of the museum columns. Following the map, the comic ends as Carter prepares to head to Dinosaur Island. 

This comic is fantastic. Robert clicks all of the checkmarks you expect from an adventure. Brian Hitch's art is detailed and every panel is full of energy and urgency. This melds the story and art because nothing is wasted in this in this book as it moves from one locale to the next. My only minor gripe is that although the characters are incredibly details. The backgrounds for most of the comic are kind of bland. It is not a huge issue but I remember reading Hitch's ultimates and recall a lot more intricacy in the art. I'm assuming the change in art style was done to get the book out quicker but it is noticeable.  

Outside of the minor gripe. I thoroughly enjoyed this issue and can't wait to read the next.

The last issue of DC I thought Id ever buy was Batman #50. Fortunately, I saw Hawkman on the shelf. I was so interested in his story after reading dark night metal that I had to at least pick up the first issue. I thought it was great. 2nd Issue. Just as awesome. I really like the idea. I don't know much about Hawkman, but it is easy to follow and has me interested in where the plot is going. The art is solid, nothing to extraordinary, but definitely enjoyable.

Another strong issue. Vendetti is bringing his A game, and so is the always reliable Hitch. Possibly the surprise of the year, given the history of dull Hawkman comics.

As expected, this issue was a huge improvement from the last one. There's some great characterisation and the overall mystery in this issue, and I am very excited about things to come next.

I don't caaaaaare about Hawkman.
