Some thoughts about Hawkman #16

Can Hawkman and The Shade survive the Shadowlands?

Carter can help but reminisce his history with Richard just when they need each other the most due that the Shadow Thief is controlling everything around them.

A bit decompressed but still decent enough.

Robert Venditti offers a new installment where he explores the Shadowlands and their background. The initial pages where the writer shows how Hawkman and The Shade met is pretty interesting and is actually fitting for both characters considering how old they actually are which also leads to their current situation by facing the Shadow Thief and his power in this particular realm. The character dynamic is well-handled.

Unfortunately, this chapter is mostly a set-up for the final battle and this is disappointing because I was expecting the conclusion here. This issue is mostly dedicated to action and as it is is not that engaging and feels like the fight with the Shadow Thief could have been included here. The escalation is okay but there should have been more content.

Pat Oliffe's art is solid with expressive characters and clear storytelling.

Not bad but I hope the conclusion is satisfying.
