Chad Bowers and Chris Sims turn this issue into a public audition to meld Chris "Darkhawk" Powell into Gerry Duggan's current run on Guardians of the Galaxy. It might be a tremendous treat for passionate Darkhawk fans, but that's not me. As an ignoramus on the subject, I found this a thorough introduction - maybe too thorough, but pretty compelling. I think it pulled the curtain a little too far back for a one-shot: Yeah, Powell's complex relationship with his father could be developed into a nice parallel to mentoring the semi-independent Razor in an ongoing series. It weighs this single issue down too heavily, though. Kev Walker's art is superb for the gritty story of Officer Powell; I'm not sure he'd be the right long-term artist if the story heads in a strictly Cosmic direction.
