Hawk & Dove #4

Part of DC's New 52 initiative, Hawk & Dove #4 (2012) poses a sharp question right on the cover: are these two the hunters — or the hunted? Rob Liefeld's cover art depicts a snarling, red-and-grey-costumed Hawk crouching aggressively in the foreground while Dove, in her sleek blue-and-white costume with wing-like accents, stands poised and composed behind him against a stormy red sky. With Sterling Gates writing and Liefeld handling both pencils and inks, this issue — titled "The Interrogation" — promises the kind of tension that keeps the duo's partnership as dynamic as it is complicated.
