Before I get into this issue, let’s provide you with a little history on the characters via Wikipedia:<\/p>\n

“Created by Steve Ditko<\/a> and Steve Skeates<\/a>, brothers Hank<\/a><\/strong> and Don Hall<\/strong> first appeared in Showcase<\/a> #75 (1968). The pair gained their powers of heightened strength and agility from a mysterious voice (later, Secret Origins<\/a> #43 explained the voice was from two Lords of Chaos and Order<\/a> who had fallen in love) and fought crime together as Hawk and Dove, despite their diametrically opposed opinions about the use of force. The conservative Hawk (Hank) was hot-headed and reactionary, whereas the liberal Dove (Don) was more thoughtful and reasoned (but prone to indecisiveness).” <\/em><\/p>\n

Basically, one was a frat boy and the other one was a\u00a0“sensitive soul”. Together these two knuckle-heads went out and fought crime while constantly bickering at each other. The comic didn’t do too well, only lasting six issues, due to the fact that if people wanted\u00a0constant squabbling, they’d hang out with my sisters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Eventually Hawk’s brother died, leaving a hole in\u00a0his life.\u00a0 <\/em>Then came the new Dove, a chick…with\u00a0 wayyy better “assets”!\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Careful, Penguin,\u00a0 you’ll put your eye out!<\/h5>\n

They didn’t get along….surprised?<\/p>\n

Now on to the review!!!!!\u00a0 Hawk and Dove #1, written by Sterling Gates with art by Rob Liefeld…wait?! What?! Did I just say Rob Liefeld?!\u00a0 Oh yes, yes I did…and here is where it gets fun! \u00a0Rob Liefeld is drawing this book and all it’s glorious 90ism (yep, that’s a word now!) Tiny feet, hidden hands…plain backdrops..all here! \ud83d\ude42 Would you like to know of how unpopular this guy has become since the 90’s bust of Image Comics???\u00a0 Check the links below:<\/p>\n

Personally I’m indifferent when it comes to Rob Liefeld, I’m more concerned with the plot, which is pretty terrible. It starts out with a plane being almost flown into the Washington Monument…never seen that before! It also has to do with a Mad Scientist..yep, you heard me..a Mad Scientist…all the cliche’s are here, gang!!!\u00a0 Hank Hall, aka, Hawk, is pissed about everything (what’s new) and Dove is hiding a secret from Hawk..what could it be?! Deadman knows, cause they’re totally dating and it’s like soooo cool…but honestly, nobody cares..the plot is terrible…and is Hank Hall really that young?!! Seriously??!!!!\u00a0 Just….Just don’t buy it…please…<\/p>\n
