Just when it seems like they're out of surprises, Venditti and Pasarin roll out a huge one that hopefully has some major repercussions for the rest of the DC Universe. Hawkman has been one of my favorites for months and this was a prime example of why it constantly flies so high. Read Full Review

If this were the series finale, it'd be the perfect ending. Read Full Review

Although there was a feeling of finality and a strange sense of melancholy as the issue came to a close, I also felt thankful to all involved for bringing us such a great addition to the legend of Hawkman. As the series continues, Hawkman and Hawkwoman start out on another journey together and who knows where they will go from here. If we've learned anything, it is to expect the unexpected when it comes to Hawkman. Read Full Review

Over the past two years, Robert Venditti has been exploring Hawkman's new status quo. Along the way we've learned about all of Hawkman's past lives and how he's reincarnated through time and space. Hawkman #26 wraps up the storyline with the Lord of the Void, but also ties a bow on the first 26 issues as Hawkman and Hawkwoman defeat the Lord of the Void. This issue brings everything together beautifully in a satisfying manner while also setting the Hawks off in the next step of their lives, or is it just earlier in their life? Read Full Review

There have been some great Hawkman runs over the years, but this might be the one where the writer was the most effective at getting me invested in the character's mythology. Read Full Review

DC Comics' Hawkman #26 makes some big changes. It brings real stakes into the story of a man with a thousand lives. This creative team may not have created the perfect comic in this issue, but boy have they created a damn fun one! Read Full Review

A great issue of a great series, that you should totally add to your pull list, if it's not all ready on there. Read Full Review

This book is a treat and deserves broader advertising. DC take note Hawkman is off to begin another story arc, another left turn for the character that is sure to please fans. This series is building up a lovely repertoire of DC lore under the radar. Give this and prior issues a good thumbing through. Read Full Review

While I'm sure the majority of people will get everything that they want out of this issue, but for me I was left wanting since everything seemed to be wrapped up quickly, making all the build-up to everything that we've dealt with feel like it didn't matter and the stakes were never really there.  I love the art to this issue though and the cliffhanger is amazing, which makes me want to check out the next issue now.

Hawkman #26 is a very good looking book that could have used more conflict, and more discovery to make the victory and this story arc more rewarding. As a single issue, it's just okay, but as a chapter in the history of Hawkman it's hugely important. Your enjoyment is going to vary depending on how impressed you are with the new direction.

Sad to see this title is ending. It’s so compelling and fun!

Art 4.5/5
Story 4.5/5

Could have been even better if it didnt feel so quick. It was a really impactful issue that flew by but felt like it wrapped up what was being told since the first issue

The "villain is defeated by absorbing too much" trope is overused as hell but WHO CARES because we get a happy ending and the JSA too! It's so refreshing to read a book that doesn't have grand multiversal/world ending stakes, or in this case one that does but doesn't overblow it and keeps it character focused. Excited to see Carter and Shiera back in the 1940's alongside our dear Society.

Excellent.
