Hawkman #25

Part of DC's 2004 "Black Reign" crossover event, this issue wraps up the storyline with a striking cover by John Watson showing a battle-worn Hawkman erupting skyward — wings spread wide, fists clenched, and a raw war cry on his lips — while several fallen JSA heroes lie scattered on the ground below him. The image captures the raw intensity of a hero pushed to his absolute limit, with the "Black Reign" logo lending an ominous weight to the confrontation. Written by Geoff Johns with art by Rags Morales and inks by Michael Bair and Rodney Ramos, this concluding chapter promises high stakes for the winged warrior and his allies.
