Hawkman #8

In "Small Talk," Hawkman finds himself caught in a tense, unexpected conversation that cuts through the usual chaos of his adventures—no battles, no ancient prophecies, just words that carry weight. This 2002 issue, featuring a cover by Andrew Robinson, stands out with its quiet intensity and a lineup of pop culture references from the era, from PlayStation 2 to Sly Cooper, all woven into the background of a story that’s more about connection than conflict.
