Blackhawks #1

silkcuts's Blackhawks #1 - Blackhawks review

The U.N. needs this team more then the JLA

Technology is one of the things the new 52 is selling.  Blackhawks is the reimage of a covert group lead by a guy codenamed Blackhawk.  Factoring the genre, that will already dictate how much you will enjoy this comic.  Mike Costa is not a well know comic writer, most of his time spent writing G.I. Joe and I guess that is why this narrative was sooth, since this is a polished G.I. joe remixed story.  I don't feel Costa challenged himself  and that is why the story works, since he is writing what he knows, not what he doesn't.
 
If you like espionage, war or terrorism and all that G.I. Joe kind of stuff then check this out.  If that is not the type of comic you like, then pass on this. I liked it if that helps.  This comic so far offers a U.N. defense team of none metahumans, I rather enjoyed that.

Cheers

I can't really answer that however, I can say that this series has a GI Joe/covert ops feel to i...

Blackhawks adds another military themed series to the New 52 along with a very, very obvious comparison to a certain other military themed intellectual property that DC does not currently hold the license for. That comparison aside, Blackhawks is an interesting new series that touches on a currently unexplored area of the DC Universe, though it will have to step it up a notch if it really wants to hold onto a place in the new continuity.Yes, this is G.I. Joe. It's no coincidence that it is G.I. ...
