Realizing that he is close to death, Shadowhawk returns home to Harlem to visit his mother one last time. He discovers, however, that the police have staked out all of Paul Johnstone's old haunts as the police know his secret identity. When Hawk's Shadow threatens Christina and his mom, Shadowhawk swings in and battles his arch-nemesis. Even though he is on his last legs, Shadowhawk beats Hawk's Shadow and prepares to break his spine but decides that his former mode of "justice" was wrong and subsists. Paul dies in the hospital a few days later from the AIDS virus. Is Shadowhawk dead?
