In the nearby galaxy of Limbo, the deadly mob boss Mon*Star has escaped from his confinement on Penal Planet 10 - and he's looking to take revenge on everyone who put him there!
At the top of that list is Commander Stargazer, the grizzled space cop who personally took Mon*Star down the last time he went on a rampage. To recapture Mon*Star and his gang of super-criminal associates, Stargazer must put his retirement on hold and assemble a new team of his famed bionically enhanced law enforcers - the SilverHawks!
Recruited from every corner of known space by the Federal Interplanetary Force, the SilverHawks were engineered to b more
Kambadais delivers some great art throughout the issue and I love the visual style. The action is stunning and exciting. Read Full Review
SilverHawks #1 represents more than just another comic based on a vintage cartoon. What Ed Brisson alongside George Kambadais were able to accomplish in this debut issue speaks volumes to their abilities. We get a fresh, new comic that will captivate both fans of the original cartoon and newcomers alike. Read Full Review
In space, justice soars! The return of the Silverhawks delivers on a modern sense to the classic story. Brisson taps into a slightly edgier feel for the origin issue. Kambadais and Wright construct an explosive look at Bedlama City once events start taking hold. Its a great starting point for new and old readers alike to jump aboard. Read Full Review
SilverHawks always felt like something that probably could have done better if it had been introduced just a little bit earlier in the decade. Elements of the design are good. And there were aspects of the concept of cyborg police people in space that actually seems really cool in retrospect. It also opens up a lot of possibilities. Police forces in the future can be kind of a tricky concept to put to the page in a wave that embraces the complexity of crime and progressive technology. Theoretically, if he really wanted to, Brisson could get into some of that complexity in a way that also embraces the potential of the series. Read Full Review
SilverHawks #1 is a fine debut. It dusts off a concept and characters that have been on the shelf for quite some time. It does a solid introduction to it all.

Despite the incongruous artwork, SilverHawks #1 is a promising start to Dynamite Entertainment's latest comics reboot. This issue offers a solid foundation for the new series and considerable potential. Hopefully, it will continue to grow as the classic cast is reintroduced and finds a new audience. Read Full Review
SILVERHAWKS #1 returns to Bedlama City to continue the adventures of the bird-themed cyborgs. Ed Brisson's standard setup creates a plausible return to Bedlama City, albeit a setup that leans on common tropes, and unfortunately, George Kambadais's art creates a low-detail aesthetic that looks cheap.
