The Savage Hawkman #4

If we are to have any chance

From a series which started off on such a directionless path, it has finally gotten to an entertaining place.  It doesn't happen all at once and the route taken to get to this point was a little arduous, but about halfway through the action sequence in this issue it all started to come together for me.  Granted an action sequence is primarily what this issue is as Hawkman and new (and presumably temporary) ally Askana team up to battle Morphicus.  Some things work here and some things don't.  In addition to the action the connection to Thanagar is intriguing, but working against this issue is the kind of hackneyed ending.  The sum of everything though makes for a mostly entertaining and enjoyable issue.
