Sky Tyrant is on the verge of possessing the ultimate weapon, which would kill billions-ensuring his eternal rebirth. Hawkwoman is hot on his trail, and she isn't alone. She's enlisted the help of Carter Hall's long-time friends: the Atom and Adam Strange. Will they be enough to stop Sky Tyrant? How do you stop a man full of rage and steel will? Death seems to be the only option, but their good friend Carter would also die in the process.
From my perspective, this is yet another fantastic issue! When I was first discovering DC back issues from the '60's three of my favorite characters were Adam Strange, the Atom and Hawkman. This issue for that alone gets my highest praise! Along the way there are numerous elements that make this a great comic. By putting character at the forefront, Hawkman #21 is an exciting and fun read that demonstrates a palpable bond between Hawkman, the Atom, Adam Strange and Hawkwoman. Read Full Review
Hawkman #21 represents a great fight issue but also a fun Indian Jones-style artifact chase. Seeing the two sides of the tale come together is exciting, as is having the Atom and Adam Strange back in action. Another triumphal issue for this creative team. Read Full Review

Hawkman by Robert Venditti continues to be one of the best comics that DC Comics has to offer right now. If you're looking for a good superhero adventure, this is the place. Read Full Review
This issue of Hawkman continues the ascension of Robert Vendittis epic, continuing to be one of the still underrated stories that DC is releasing today. Fernando Pasarin and the rest of the art team blew my mind with their visuals, making this thing such a beauty to read and see. Hawkman is easily one of the highlights to come out of Dark Nights: Metal and this book continues to carry on the nearly 80 Year Legacy of the character with amazing storytelling and art.

Hawkman #21 is one of the most fast-paced issues of the series in a while, and one of the best since Bryan Hitch's initial run ended. Read Full Review
This series continues to be a pleasure to read, and surely will for many more issues Read Full Review
While I think the addition of our new heroes really works well this issue, the overall Sky Tyrant parts left me wanting more because beyond his big plan of destroying all life in the Universe, there hasn't been a lot for this infected version of our hero to do and I would love to see this story end soon. The art is great though and we do get a full explanation about what's going on in Sky Tyrant's head here, which was really appreciated. Read Full Review
Despite a lack of depth within this issue, Venditti gives some fantastic visual cues for this comic book. There are fun colors and images that make this worth the buy, especially for people who have read previous issues. Read Full Review
The events of this comic are more than a bit crazy, but its characters fully acknowledge that (which is kinda fun). I haven't given this comic attention in several months so I can't condemn it too much for being batshit-crazy. While I'm not sure exactly what the key evil Hawkman is after will actually unleash, I'm betting it isn't puppies and rainbows. For fans. Read Full Review
fantastic artwork and story in this book. There really wasn’t anything about it I didn’t like
Prelude:
Hawkman has been doing well recently so as Sky Tyrant continues his reign, let's see how it all goes.
The Good:
Love the teamwork between Strange, Hawkwoman and Atom and the lengths they will go to to save Carter.
Art was good.
Carter and Sky Tyrant's chats were funny.
The Bad:
Nothing.
Conclusion:
Yet another great issue for Hawkman. I'm loving how Venditti is tying this editorial event to his own story.
Adam Strange, Atom, and Hawkman = sold.
I like hawkman a lot. Sometimes the story doesnt move very fast but its always well done and I enjoy it everytime. The sky tyrant story is going a little long but remains a solid story.
“Yes, I think the best place to put the ancient murder rock is for sure right next to the guy who wants to use it to murder everybody forever.”
This was fine, I'm just not very interested in the plot and the pacing is glacial.
