Hitch does an excellent job with the artwork as well. Carter Hall has a warmth to his face that reinforces the trust of everyone around him while the cowl of Hawkman is strong and heroic with a bit of that ancient terror to it as well. Currie's inks absolutely add to this book, and we preach love for inkers around here pretty heavy. But in a story with so much detail, so much in the small extras, the inker can really set the tone. Currie and Hitch are clearly on the same page and it comes through beautifully in the book.

My one criticism is that some of the panels felt overloaded with words. It almost seemed like either there needed to be less dialogue written or that there needed to be more space provided in the panel for the words. They were all GOOD words, so I think it could just be the structuring of the panels. Not a major problem and I don't feel it really took away from the flow of the story but just something I would like to see done a little differently.

FINAL SCORE: 8/10 Silent Knights

Hawkman #2 build beautifully on the first issue and continues to draw you in to the mysteries of Carter Hall's past. The pitch perfect art matches the tone of the story. A little house cleaning and the book is well on it's way. A solid add to any pull list and a great read for kids who are into ancient history.
