| Though not one
of DC Comics' BIG THREE characters (Superman, Batman & Wonder Woman),
Hawkman has been a fascinating, enduringly popular superhero for almost
60 years now. As a testament to Hawkman's appeal, DC has given him the
ARCHIVES treatment, focusing on arguably the hero's most assured period
of publishing success, the 1960's. Indeed, the work of Gardner Fox, Joe
Kubert and Murphy Anderson on HAWKMAN is legendary, and DC has spared no
expense in the lavish reproduction of their work. The crispness of the
stories (featuring such seminal HAWKMAN villains as Shadow Thief, the Gentleman
Ghost and others), and especially the vivid artwork, are on full display
in this ARCHIVE edition. |

|
|
| For those fans
who have regulated Hawkman and Hawkgirl to second-string superhero status
all these years, this collection goes a long way towards changing their
minds. In the hands of these creators, Hawkman was as exciting and compelling
a figure in DC's 1960's era as any other character they published,
and that mystique is a primary reason why DC has never completely given
up on their attempts to revive Hawkman many times in the years since.
Like all of DC ARCHIVES editions,
the HAWKMAN ARCHIVES is a bit of an investment, but a wise one in my opinion.
Overall, a fine quality collection celebrating a most unsung DC hero. |

| Amid the hype
for "popular" superhero characters, every once in a while there comes along
a real sleeper--a genuinely well-written and well-drawn superhero book.
Such is the case with Flash. And from the pages of this increasingly popular
series comes a new character, Bart Allen, the grandson of Barry Allen,
the original Flash. |
|
|
|
| Bart was born
in the 30th century and raised in a virtual-reality playpen where his super
powers had no real consequences. After being saved from death by the Flash,
young Bart has relocated to 20th-century Alabama where he must attend junior
high school and train to use his powers as Impulse. With the help
of his mentor, the mysterious Max Mercury, Bart realizes that his reckless
streak can lead to real trouble. |
