Oh well probably not stick with it, since Rags art on the book was really my main draw to it [not to knock Johns' stories which I liked but didn't love].

Cobalt Kid Bold Flavors Cobalt Kid Bold Flavors Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 34,634 If you don't want my peaches, ... That sucks! I really hope Hawkman gets a good creative team and doesn't get cancelled in the next few years. It seems Green Arrow, Hawkman and Aquaman just seem to struggle along at DC through the years. Maybe James Robinson can come back and take over the book? Wishful thinking, I know...

John's doesn't really handle the big teams well IMO and Flash isn't knocking socks off.

Once Rags & Geoff depart, I predict a year for HAWKMAN without "name" talent. Visit the FULL FRONTAL FANDANGO & laugh along with Lash at http://lashlaugh.wordpress.com/

If only the Atom could get big name talent too! These four books could be so good if only the right writer came along...I want Hawkman to suceed!

Rags's art made up for the usual padded storyline by Johns. Any word on where Rags is going next?
