Hawkman #24

Part four of the "Black Reign" crossover arrives in this March 2004 installment, with cover art by John Watson depicting a fierce aerial confrontation against a burning amber sky. Hawkman — winged, masked, and clutching a mace — dives toward a teal-suited figure crackling with glowing energy, the tension between them palpable. With Geoff Johns, Rags Morales, and John Dell driving the interior, this chapter of the JSA crossover promises the kind of high-stakes conflict that cover makes unmistakably clear.
