About this Collection

This collection brings together the opening story arc of the 2003 Hawkman series, following the reimagined origin and adventures of Carter Hall as he reclaims his legacy as the reincarnating warrior. Written by Geoff Johns with art by Rags Morales, the volume explores Hawkman's connection to past lives and his role as a protector of the ancient and modern worlds.

In "First Impressions," Geoff Johns and James Robinson kick off a bold new era for Hawkman with Rags Morales’ dynamic art, plunging the hero into a web of intrigue across the Battlelands and the streets of St. Roch. As Hawkgirl and Danny Evans track down the missing Tigress, Hawkman faces off against shadowy foes while an emerald archer strikes in the city—setting the stage for a story where ancient secrets and modern threats collide.
