Blackhawks #1

Part of DC's sweeping 2011 New 52 relaunch, Blackhawks #1 introduces a heavily armed covert team assembled and ready for a fight. Ken Lashley's cover puts a silver-haired, red-visored commander front and center — pistol raised, flanked by a diverse squad of tactical operatives, armored figures, and a woman in red — all bathed in a fiery orange sky that signals serious global-threat energy. With Mike Costa writing and Graham Nolan and Ken Lashley sharing artistic duties, this modernized take on the classic Blackhawks team looks primed to deliver sharp action with a black-ops edge.
