Several years ago, in the midst of revamping all their old concepts, one that got given the miniseries treatment and expanded upon is the Squadron Supreme - a group of heroes similar to Avengers/ Justice League except that they lived on a world that they decided to use their powers to not only do good but to rule!Anyway, in this particular mini-series, it just tells ONE adventure of Nighthawk and this dude in not like the regular Nighthawk. This is a black dude not white. He doesn't have powers emerging only at night but rather dresses up like a bird and fights with fists and weapons (think ... Batman?)
And this particular story ... feels more like a Warren Ellis tale ... so it's a nice surprise to see the name of Daniel Way ... because it is definitely mature story time ... we have excessive violence (love it), we have racism, we have gays, we have blowjobs, we have people poisoning kids?!?!?!?!?!??!Damn!
In the first issue, we see our friend Nighthawk fighting the usual low life and having a chat with someone in power similar to Bats. Then we are introduced to a pharmacist (yes you read that right) who is a brilliant psycho. However as he was caught, and got shafted (literally), he became even worse ... and then he got out! So at the end of this book ... if you like it ... you will definitely come back for moreMe? Love it!
