Darkhawk #1 takes its time introducing readers to Connor before the superheroics kick in, and it's that patient storytelling which allows Darkhawk's bold, new era to achieve liftoff. Read Full Review

There are enough interesting hooks in this issue to keep me reading, though this first issue doesn't do much with the whole Darkhawk of it all. Read Full Review

Darkhawk #1 was a surprisingly deep read. The issues Kyle Higgins brings to light are relatable and very real. The pencils and colors fit the story so well that they just seem like they were made for a title like this. Darkhawk is back! Read Full Review

This book is a straight-forward comic, does what it says on the cover and delivers on the newer ideas of Darkhawk, whilst paying homage to the past via certain story elements. Surely, in todays heavy continuity laden, every story is a multiverse industry we could all do with sitting back and enjoying a simply well told story? Read Full Review

While I'm not sold on the costume just yet, I'm loving the plasma like talons that he can use during fights. I'm excited to find out if it will be the same advanced Shi'ar technology imbued with magic, like the OG Darkhawk, or if there'll be some tweaks to Conner's story. Juanan Ramirez does a pretty good job of bringing this tale to life and saves his best stuff for the action sequences and ball games, which I appreciate. Darkhawk #1 was a good first go with some room to get even better. Read Full Review

This issue is impressive in a lot of ways and I am interested in Connor's story and the presentation of his diagnosis, but things feel very rushed in this issue, and there are some consistency issues with the art that lessen enjoyment for me. Read Full Review

Not going to lie, I was thinking of dropping this from my pull list. But after reading it I'm pleasantly surprised. It was a first good issue, and the twist at the end was okay. Didn't really surprise me but wasn't bad. I like the direction this book is going in so lets see if it gets better. The art is okay, could be a bit better but the writing is really good.

interesting start, we will see if this manages to have a good rhythm in the following numbers.

I was surprised that I liked this as much as I did. It's hard to get a new character off the ground, but I think this succeeded.

Decent start but I guess we still need some time to see where this is going, so far it wasn't bad but not great either.

Meh

The Darkhawk widget passes to teen basketball star Connor Young, after a very long introduction and an MS diagnosis. I do like the status quo established at the end: new teen hero, mysterious powers, complex relationship between supporting cast and antagonists. MAN, it's a slog to get there, though. I was about to drown in the basketball cliches before I reached the MS. As to that, I'm sure some readers will dismiss it as a gimmick. And I'll admit Connor doesn't have much else to distinguish him yet -- how could he, with such a slow start? I'm willing to stick around and watch him develop, though.
