Death of Hawkman #[nn]

In "Out of Time Part 1," Adam Strange and the injured Hawkman flee a devastating battle on Rann, with Adam’s memories unraveling the chain of events that brought them to this crisis—starting with the sudden diversion of the Zeta beams meant to rescue him on Earth. Meanwhile, in Sardath’s lab on Ranagar, Thanagarian terrorists launch a deadly assault on Sardath and Alanna, thrusting the fate of two worlds into chaos.

In "Out of Time Part 2: In the Blood," Adam and a wounded Hawkman fight to escape enemy forces on Rann, while Katar’s memories reveal a darker past on Thanagar—where his time as a police officer began to unravel under the weight of escalating violence. As Adam discovers Alanna, the sole survivor of the Ranagar bombings, the Rannian council pushes for revenge against the Thanagarians, but Adam remains wary, sensing a deeper conspiracy at play.

In "Strange Bedfellows," the fate of Rann hangs in the balance as Alanna and the Rannian High Council prepare a counter-strike against the Thanagarians. With Adam and Katar racing to uncover the true mastermind behind the attack, clues point to Despero—locked away in Belle Reve, but is he really the one pulling the strings?

In "Out of Time Part 4: Retribution (and Other Catastrophes)," Adam and Katar race to Kalador only to find the planet—and its people—vanished without a trace. As the Thanagarians brace for an impending assault from the Rannians led by Alanna, Despero, now on Rann, manipulates the long-dead Sardath to construct a massive Zeta Beam projector, unleashing a devastating chain of destruction that sends the Nth Metal core of Ryngor hurtling toward Thanagar.

In "Out of Time Part 5: Embedded," Adam, Katar, and the Green Lanterns race against time to stop Despero from plunging Thanagar and Rann into war and seizing control of all Nth metal, battling through hordes of Rannians and Kaladorians mind-controlled by the invading telepath. The stakes rise as they fight not just for survival, but to break Despero’s hold before the galaxy is torn apart.

In "Out of Time Part 6: Blood and Metal," Adam fights to stop Despero’s invasion by destroying the Zeta Portal on Rann, as Katar faces off against the villain in a final, desperate clash. When the explosion engulfs them all, Adam is left stranded in a strange dimension, while Despero’s body re-forms at the edge of the universe—leaving Katar’s fate uncertain.
