Savage Hawkman #1

The Savage Hawkman was another one of those mid-pack titles. Not great, but far from bad. The art is really the draw here (no pun intended). Has an almost painted feel to it. Really nice to look at. The plot could've used more background though. Hawkman has always had a convoluted history, so it would've been nice to learn who Carter Hall is and how he became Hawkman. And will there be a Hawkgirl, since those two are forever intertwined? This was an opportunity for DC to clear up a lot in that regard, and it was missed. The plot that is here, isn't a bad one at least. It will be interesting to see how Carter reacts to the ramifications to his powers that he thought he had finally gotten rid of. The book has potential, as long as it doesn't stray from answering those questions in a timely fashion.
