Darkhawk takes to the spaceways, determined to take down the Fraternity of Raptors and save the brother of his good friend Nova, A.K.A. Richard Rider, but the Raptors have a few new tricks up their sleeves that he might not be ready for...
Rated T+
Infinity Countdown: Darkhawk #2 is a solid @$$ kicking continuation of the first issue and surpasses expectations of a hero that was created in the 90s. This comic is nearly perfect with just a few flaws that only a fan would recognize. However, those flaws are insignificant compared to the infinite (get it) possibilities. A must-read for established and new Marvel readers! Read Full Review
Overall though we're happy Darkhawk is back in the forefront, and so far he's making the most of it. Read Full Review
Cool stuff. The interaction between darkhawk and deaths head was great, would like to see more of that. My only complaint is, why does everything have to involve earth?
The unlikely duo has a great chemistry between them, and the overall story is quite decent as well. It's a fun read even if you're not too invested in the titular character.
Chris makes it to space, but his meeting with the OG Raptors goes just about as bad as possible. I find myself torn in rating this. I like the creators' high-level strategic choices: devoting significant page-time to Marlene, boosting the stakes on Chris's conflict with the Raptors, engaging in cosmic world-building to tie the Raptors to the Phoenix Force, etc. The tactical execution of those ideas just doesn't hook me here, though. The visuals are the same way. I like the way GH Lim's style stands out in comparison to contemporary Marvel, but there are some rough patches.
I don't know who any of these people are.
