Jun 02, 2021Guera gives the Nighthawk story a great, gritty feel as every page and panel is filled with shadows. The second story is full of great action and visual reveals. Read Full Review

Jun 02, 2021Again, we get a solid, entertaining story in this mini-series. In addition to it being a good comic, I'm really enjoying the weekly installments of this series, I think if this series were monthly, it wouldn't be as enjoyable. Read Full Review

COMICON - Olly MacNamee
Jun 03, 2021Batman, Arkham Asylum and Commissioner Gordon are all ripped-off in this uneventful event series from Marvel Comics. Why DC Comics have yet to send a 'Cease and Desist' order is beyond me, but they should. Read Full Review

A very good book that does have some elements here that keeps the issue from fully coming together. The art is good, if very much an acquired taste, and the overall narrative is well-done. What makes this book really good is The characterization of Nighthawk. This issue is basically a character study about him and a really good one. His self-awareness alongside his genuine desire to do good makes him a very intersting and likeable character. Still clearly a pastiche of Batman, but one I could see having a future with this incarnation. What keeps this issue from fully coming together, in my mind at least, is the merger of the Batman elements with those of Spider-Man and Captain America. I can see the logic behind some of them but ove more

Gonna be honest, this issue feels more like trying to shoehorn as many Batman references as possible. But at least it takes the time to show comparisons between him and the Supreme Power Nighthawk through Craven. Makes me wonder what Night Gwen is going to be like. The Avengers' segments surely are building a lot of stuff up.

Not as good as last week's, but still good. Turning Nighthawk into Spider-Man is interesting, but it really kind of falters whenever you... put Spider-Man characters around Nighthawk.

God forgive me for I have liked this comic from the king of ridiculousness, Jason Aaron.

Dare I say the best one? This or Doctor Spectrum so far. Pretty good story for what it is.

The weakest issue so far and you can't pay me to read a batman book right now. The art is also not my favorite style so we can only go up from here.

Feels like it gets caught up in "look how much Batman I can do" rather than saying something meaningful about the character or the setting. I'm no fan of the art, either -- reminds me of the crappy illustrations you'd find in 90s RPG sourcebooks.

Fun, but forgettable, issue.

We don't even get an origin story on how nighthawk got his powers. Nighthawk personality is bland, the fight scenes are lame, the art is mediocre, and we don't even know how captain America is finding these heroes. Terrible issue.
