An adult came up with the name Morphicius? Or does Tony Daniel have some really dimwitted nine year olds working for him? Writing his dialogue, coming up with his logic… no, I imagine a nine year old dimwit would do better.
I didn’t realize Hawkman was Daniel. Right away, the terrible writing started cluing me in. As for the art, the terrible painted style confused me—than I checked the cover and saw it was Philip Tan. In Tan-land, no one has eyeballs, just empty sockets. It’s clearly a style thing.
Hawkman is kind of funny because it’s not just crap, it’s derivative crap.
Imagine Hawkman mixed with Spider-Man’s alien costume and you’ll be on the right track. I guess Daniel felt bad he missed out on “Venom-Island” or whatever the Spider-Man Venom crossover was called. Because he’s got lots of Venoms here.
Hawkman’s putrid garbage.

This one really was a sad sack of poo. I want those seven minutes of my life back. It wasn’t worth the $1.50 I paid for it. I’m glad it’s returnable. Then I won’t have to look at it’s defecated remains on my rack in three weeks.
