Traveling through space with the incredible power of the Zeta Beam, he once soared the skies of the faraway world of Rann as its greatest guardian. Now heÕs retired to his home planet of Earth, trying to live a normal life. Normal, that is, until heÕs unexpectedly beamed back to the world he once protected-and finds it in ruins. The perpetrators: the winged warriors of Thanagar. So why has ThanagarÕs mightiest hero, Hawkman, come soaring to Adam StrangeÕs rescue? Hawkman knows that his people have been framed for RannÕs destruction. Only he and Strange can bring justice to the real mastermind: the interstellar tyrant called Despero.

Can Hawkman and Adam Strange put aside their distrust and save what remains of their civilizations? One thing is for sure: someone will pay the ultimate priceÉ

The odds are impossible, but Hawkman and Adam Strange must team up as the fates of Rann, Thanagar and the known universe hangs in the balance. But can anyoneÑor anythingÑstop Despero? DonÕt miss the finale of this red-hot miniseries!

Residing on Earth and out of the hero game, Adam Strange finds himself trying to live a ÒnormalÓ life, until heÕs literally pulled back into adventure again when a seemingly normal Zeta beam transmission returns him to the planet Rann, where he hopes to be reunited with his beloved Alanna. But instead he finds the once-great city of Ranagar in ruins, with millions dead, and the once peaceful Alanna is now calling for the blood of RannÕs oldest enemy, Thanagar, home of the Hawkmen. Sensing something is amiss, Strange finds an ally in Hawkman, who also is trying anything possible to avert war. DonÕt miss the start of this sensational new six-issue miniseries!

Imprisoned on Rann and accused of being a spy for the enemy Thanagarians, Adam Strange finds a most unusual ally in his rescuer, Hawkman, who knows his people are innocent of the recent devastating attack on Rann and is desperately searching for the truth of who began this conflict...and why!

As DesperoÕs insane scheme nears fruition, the casualties rise for both Rann and Thanagar-and to the mind-controlled survivors, only two men are to blame! But Hawkman and Adam Strange are not only intergalactic outlaws-they are perhaps the only two beings in the galaxy who can stop Despero and his army! But first, these two heroes must overcome insurmountable odds to save themselves and the populations of three planets as their mighty forces, led by Hawkwoman, come to exact vengeance upon them...

The Deathbringers know where Hawkman isÑand now theyÕre coming to Earth to claim him! Carter will need to put all the clues together and fast if heÕs going to save the world from mass destruction!
