Some thoughts about Hawkman #22

How can Sky Tyrant be defeated?

Carter's alter ego is still trying to manipulate his friends but Shayera might not be so easy to convince.

Okay, this worked a bit better.

I'm still pretty tired of this overly-long story that Robert Venditti is developing since it's all around Sky Tyrant but this one managed to execute such premise more successfully. For one, this issue is mostly devoted to character interactions, especifically between Sky Tyrant and Shayera and that allows for a few interesting moments.

Yes, we have seen this sort of thing before but what makes it different is how Sky Tyrant lies about Carter's own nature while the latter is constantly telling his evil counterpart to stop manipulating his loved ones. Plus, there's a scene where Sky Tyrant's plans to escape are executed in an actual smart manner and it all involves the whole conversation with Shayera.

Fernando Pasarin remains in art duties and his work is still pretty solid with expressive characters and clear storytelling.

Good read, I just hope Sky Tyrant is disappearing soon.
