I liked this issue better than the first one, I like how much focus is being put on Kendras internal feelings and thoughts... but I'd like for more answers with the next issue, but lot is happening but the direction isn't clear yet.

If the first issue didn't get enough undeserved hate, I knew this was gonna get bombed the second Galaxy said "trans." Does this issue feature a lot of Galaxy? Yes, but that doesn't make this issue bad. I said this in my review of Issue 1 and it still reigns true here. This is not the best book out there right now, but it's still an entertaining read. I liked Kendra and Galaxy's interactions throughout, which might be because I don't lose my mind at her inclusion in this series. She has a prominent role here, but it highlights her character while also helping Kendra develop as well. Either way, I understand that this series may not be for everyone, but I think this is another case of people overreacting to something that's not worth the time to be outraged about. This is a solid and interesting book. more

The art is the best part of this book. it makes it enjoyable because it detracts from the story which has gone no where in two issues. the self insertion of the writer into this book is a distraction from hawkgirls struggle with her past lives and her finding a balance with her civilian identity.

It feels like so many writers today serve themselves over the characters they are supposed to be writing and I think Hawkgirl #2 is an example of that. Only thing I can say I liked better than the last issue is Kendra didn't seem to be on her period for the entire book. So glad she can be civil with the writers characters so much more so than with her actual friends and teammates. Stupid.

Good job DC. Tim Board didn't even like this.

DC has gone out and got a diversity hire to write an LGBTQ+ book in hopes of gaining new readers in an emerging market. Smart if done right but here they again take an established character and begin the process of moving them into a different sexual orientation. I may be wrong and Kendra may not move away from being straight but all the signs so far in this book point to it, which will be weird since her and Hawkman are supposed to be intertwined throughout time. DC figures they can use a lesser character for this without upsetting too many fans and there will of course be people who don't care either way about sexuality and just want to read something with Hawkgirl. Some people will go out and buy it and love it just because it's an LGBTQ+ book (which is DC's intention) and others won't just because of that same thing. Both are perfectly fine...see how that works? That is basically it for this book though. The book is all about Hawkgirl's drama and Galaxy and her lifestyle being showcased with some super villain shenanigans sprinkled in. The villain just happens to need multiple identical lives that are surrounded with nth metal exposure. Convenient. Many have said the art is great, and they are correct, but as good as the art is the story is that bad. At least in this issue Kendra isn't the most unlikable person on the planet. Bland, boring and just an excuse to showcase the writers creation instead of the title character. I don't know if DC got what they wanted with Jadzia Axelrod but I think the LGBTQ+ community (hell, all of us) deserves a comic story with some meat on it's bones instead of this tripe. I said it before and I'll say it again. ONE-TRICK PONY!

DC should rename this series Galaxy featuring Hawkgirl, because so far this series so far reads like Jadzia Axelrod is far more interested in writing her own original character than the titular character. This issue revolved around Galaxy’s place in the world far more than it did Kendra’s until the main antagonist showed up, but even then it focused far more on Galaxy and her girlfriend. The only compliments I’ll give this is the art, which is stunning. Another thing that was handled well was how Hawkgirl’s past lives were explained, it is clear that Axelrod knows her Hawkgirl history, but wants to write a Galaxy book instead. What a waste of a Hawkgirl title.

Nth metal is too heavy for someone that isn't a Thanigarian to use. Axelrod doesn't know what she's doing. Once again it's the Galaxy show.

When the tide turns, people will remember how DC comics backed an extreme and negative ideology.
