Hawkman #11
Hawkman and Hawkgirl are ambushed by one of their oldest adversaries--a woman claiming to be Hath-Set! She's prepared to sacrifice the Hawks in order to obtain the one thing no other heroes can give her: everlasting love.
A quick read. Lots of gorillas.

Thunderbolts #157
Eastern Europe. Castles. Witches. Werewolves. Satana is having interesting effects on her team members, The Thunderbolts - and now the daughter of Satan will lead them into the Occult! Back in the states, Songbird takes her initial crew of NEXT Thunderbolts out to see how they work together. Hint: It's not a good time to be in charge of Thunderbolt...

Hawkman #8
Guest-starring the Atom! It's time for some "Small Talk," as Hawkman's old friend from the JLA stops by to visit the Winged Wonder. Plus, Hawkgirl continues to search for her parents' murderer. But solving the mystery might make her the killer's next victim.
This was a bit of a slog to read mainly due to the heavy southern accents Robinson insisted on employing throughout the whole issue. I had to read most lines twice so that I could understand them, and since they weren't all that interesting in the first place, it was twice as much of a pain. Story-wise, it actually wasn't bad. We get a look at a past life of Hawkman and Hawkgirl and the founding o more

Egh. Robinson overdid it with the accents

Thunderbolts #156
The Raft is full of action as candidates vie for selection on the second squad of Thunderbolts, BETA TEAM! The main team isn't too happy about Warden Walker's initiative to expand their ranks, but even they are curious: out of the Marvel Universe vast pool of powerhouse criminals, who will make the cut? Many are called, but in this issue few are c...

Hawkman #6
"Slings and Arrows" part 2 of 2, guest-starring Green Arrow! Hawkman and Green Arrow continue reevaluating their relationship and put a stop to the string of murders plaguing St. Roch's successful businessmen. Plus, Carter Hall makes a startling decision.

Thunderbolts #155
The team is back in action after word has come down on high about a weakness in the Thunderbolts, and they must bolster their ranks to deal with the imminent magical threats. Luke Cage calls on New Avenger DOCTOR STRANGE to help find the perfect candidate to fill the role, but bringing this person in is far from easy - which is why SATANA will make...

Thunderbolts #154
Before he was pressed into service for the Thunderbolts, the mysterious swamp monster of the team knew another life: as guardian for a force of nature called The Nexus of Realities. An old friend of the creature does remember this - and breaks the silent one out of The Raft to return to duty at the borders of our world. What danger awaits the Man-T...

Hawkman #5
Green Arrow guest-stars in "Slings and Arrows" part 1 of 2! In St. Roch, bodies are piling up, and the search for the killer leads Hawkman and Hawkgirl to their reluctant ally, Green Arrow!

Hawkman #4
What could be worse than being trapped in a savage warworld in a dimension created by the god of death? Try being chained and tortured as a slave in these "Battlelands"! The only hope for Hawkman's freedom is the aid of the Shadow Thief and Carter's own mastery of will.

Thunderbolts #153
HULK's "Scorched Earth" program hits the T-Bolts, forcing the newest addition to the team to reveal their true colors! It looks like one prisoner will be walking away with no nanite controls and no chance of recapture...unless Juggernaut has something to say about it! It's monsters, mayhem and more wicked twists ahead!

Hawkman #3
Hawkman finds himself trapped on the wrong side of an inter-dimensional portal! He'll have to find the safest path between two ancient warring tribes in an East-Indian world known as the Battlelands and his only hope for survival lies in Hawkgirl--but her luck is running out...

Hawkman #2
Hawkgirl is intent on bringing her parents' murderer to justice, and clues lead the Hawk duo to India. Once they start tracing a trail, they discover the only person that could help is being pursued by three of Hawkman's worst enemies--The Shadow-Thief, Tigress and Copperhead!
An action-packed Thunderbolts vs Kaiju fight was exactly what was needed after a wordy and uneventful issue looking at Ghost's backstory. This was decent. The Hyperion "twist" was painfully predictable though.

Thunderbolts #152
The T-Bolts leap into HULK's "Scorched Earth"! At the request of Steve Rogers, Luke Cage must take his hardened team to deal with a doomsday scenario unleashed in the pages of HULK! And now that the squad is a man short, Cage finally uses his power to recruit another prisoner to duty- and his pick will shock you! Will the Thunderbolts accept this n...
We get some backstory on Ghost's past, which is nice. Team books like this where the characters are mostly expendable are better when you care about them to an extent or at least know them better. Makes it more impactful if they end up biting the bullet.

Thunderbolts #151
The Thunderbolts own psychologist, Moonstone, peels back the layers and delves into the mind and past of the paranoid known only as Ghost! How did his war on the corporate system begin and what made him leave his humanity behind?
This is my first ever Hawkman comic, so I'm coming in completely fresh, knowing absolutely nothing about the character's history. This was easy enough to follow as a starting point. Looking forward to learning more.

Hawkman #1
Hawkman and Hawkgirl set up in their new stomping ground of St. Roch, Louisiana, but the question is: who's stomping on whom? They've allied with a failing museum, only to find they're underdogs fighting against a corrupt city government and a madman who will do anything to eliminate them!
