    DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE !!!!!!!!

    Review for Hawk & Dove. 
     
    The Story: Hawk & Dove stop a plane robbery of some sort of super zombie. 
     
    The Good: Well the action scene on the plane was nice and reminded me of Die Hard for some reason. It's nice to see that Hawk doesn't hide his identity as a superhero to his dad. Liefeld's art isn't as bad as I taught it would be. 
     
    The Bad: That still doesn't mean Im a fan of the art, it's Liefeld. The close ups on characters faces are plain ulgy to see and the damn lines on the characters are distracting. The dialogue between Hawk & Dove does not show these are the representations of war & peace, Hawk is a dick and everybody likes Dove because she isn't one and thats not a good way to make us like a character. Also there is a very akward scene with Hawk and his dad talking about how him and Don got there powers, why this doesn't work is because it's a conversation between characters that know the information already, exposition scenes work well when the information is given to a character who doesn't know anything about the characters so it's presented in a way that won't be confusing. Also Ster;ing references Crisis on Infinite Earths, this doesn't go well with something for new readers. 
     
    The Verdict: Yeah not a good start, the characters don't a voices that are distinct and the art is well Liefeld. I hope this gets better but I kinda doubt it. Don't buy this.

      The Good: Yes, Rob Liefeld's art is bad. It's really bad. But at the same time, if you turn your brain down to the lowest setting, it at least looks kind of cool. But if you try to process any simple thoughts it looses it again. It was good to give us some history. I like that Hawk went to see his father, setting up a lot of information I didn't get in 26 issues of Brightest Day and 15 issues of Birds of Prey. Some elements of the plot seem interesting. The conspiracy angle is played out quite f...
