Hawkman 2018 17

Lex Luthor gave the Shadow Thief the power to defeat his archenemy, Hawkman, but too bad for the Shadow Thief that Hawkman received a gift of his own from a much more formidable foe-and now nothing can stand in Carter Hall’s way!

Spinning out of the events of DARK NIGHTS: METAL, Carter Hall returns to the DC Universe! An explorer of the ancient and unknown, Hawkman finds himself embroiled in a long-standing mission to discover the true purpose of his many reincarnations. Carter races around the globe trying to piece together an ancient prophecy, but will he be able to face down his past lives lurking around every corner?

An era of Hawkman reaches its fateful climax! To save himself, Hawkman must confront his darkest moments-but will it be enough to save himself and Hawkwoman from their first and greatest enemy? Thanks to the sinister manipulation of the Batman Who Laughs, Hawkman has become the villainous Sky Tyrant-and will have to revisit his past life as a plague doctor in the 17th century to fight off Sky Tyrant’s control over his body for good! Then, Hawkman and Hawkwoman reunite, but the romantic moment is interrupted when they’re sucked into the realm of the Lord Beyond the Void! Hawkman is forced to confront the misery he wrought in his first life as Ktar Deathbringer-who seeks to end the winged hero’s resurrections permanently! Can Hawkman and Hawkwoman survive, and save the universe in the process? Collects Hawkman #20-29.

ItÕs Hawkman vs. Hall in the brawl for all of Thanagar! Having just teleported across the galaxy, Earthman Carter Hall squares off against Thanagarian space cop Katar Hol in an all-Hawkman slugfest. Katar provides the next piece of the puzzle in CarterÕs quest to unlock the secrets of his own pastÑan alien artifact that immediately zooms him back to Earth. While puzzling out the space doohickeyÕs purpose, Carter finds himself whisked away once again, only to come face to face with an old Justice League teammate.

He’s lived and died and lived again. But now, with just one life left to live and the reincarnation cycle at its end, will Hawkman sacrifice everything to protect the woman he loves from the cursed blade of Hath-Set? Learn the fate of Hawkman and Hawkwoman in a tale that will take you to the edge of time and space!

There’s no stopping the Lord Beyond the Void when he needs to feed, and he’s set his sights on a new buffet: our universe! It’ll take more than a fight for our heroes to bring their enemy to his knees…it’ll take their very lives! That’s right-in this issue, Hawkman and Hawkwoman will die!

What was once a gift now becomes a curse! With the reincarnation cycle finally broken, Hawkman finds himself fearful that every fight could be his last-and Hawkwoman’s patience for his caution wears thin. But they’ll need all their wits and courage about them, because their age-old enemy Hath-Set is out for blood!

At last-Hawkman and Hawkwoman are reunited! But there’s no time for sweet nothings just yet, because they’ve been sucked into the realm of the Lord Beyond the Void where Carter Hall is treated to another reunion…with the legacy of all the lives he took in his first life as Ktar Deathbringer! Can Hawkman survive the consequences of his most shameful past life?
