Hawkman #39

The tagline says it all — "…and in one moment… …everything CHANGES!" — and Ryan Sook's striking cover art delivers on that promise with raw intensity. A battered, blood-spattered figure grips a weapon in the darkness, the deep crimson splashes against near-total black creating an atmosphere that feels genuinely dangerous. With Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti at the helm and Joe Bennett on interior art, "Farewell My Enemy Part 3" looks like a fittingly dramatic close to this arc for the Winged Wonder.
