I really wanted to like this more. Hawk and Dove seem to have an interesting backstory, and I really enjoyed the dynamic of the two characters. But the art was inconsistent, and the back half of the story started getting a bit wonky. Why the random batman & robin cameo? Also why do all the other avatars look JUST like them, I mean they literally just recolored the costumes, would have liked to have seen more variety.

This was weird, but props to DC for trying something different. If there were more volumes, I would probably read them. Oh well.For more on these characters tune in to Comic Book Coffee Break: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zikuP...

Just type Rob Liefeld into the review box. Any comics fan knows what you get from him. Big action panels. Giant torsos on men. Huge boobs on women. Lots of proclamations during fights. Basic comic-bookery here.

Yet another series that was introduced as part of the New 52 initiative in 2011, Hawk and Dove introduces us to a man and woman who take on the personas of the gods of War (Hawk) and Peace (Dove). Yet they somehow just kick everybody's ass.

I loved this book as it brought the characters back better then ever, but sadly I must be content with just one.

I was honestly expecting it to be much worse.That doesn't mean it was good, but it's not as awful as I originally anticipated. The villains are mediocre, the art is meh, and the plot is iffy. However, it is readable...which is more than I can say for some of the junk I've put my eyeballs on lately.Except for Dove's mullet.I assume they were trying to make her look like she had feathers, but every time she turned into Dove I kept waiting for her to put on her lumberjack shirt and attach a chain t...

Ehhh. Cool concept but poor execution. Barely had a chance to get to know my heroes when the focus was Deadman. Like guys. Let me meet and know these two main folks. Everything else fails if you don’t do this. But no. You kept them in separate rooms the whole time.

First, the art is by Rob Liefield. It isn't the worst art that he has done, but it is still Rob Liefield. Personally, I was bothered the most by Dove's single expression, which makes her look like a mouth breather. The issues written by Sterling Gates are much better than the ones written by Liefeld, in which it feels like nothing happens. In Gates' issues, there still isn't much plot, but everything moves quickly enough to still be tolerable.Characterization is also a problem. Hank acts like yo...

A book that showcases the worst problems of the New52 era of DC. It never introduces its characters or premise properly and can’t keep its continuity straight. The writers talk about these characters having a huge mythos as “Avatars of War and Peace”, but never actual talk about what being Avatars means or how that affects the lives of Hank and Dawn, who are more cardboard cutouts than characters. Hank is the jock who's angry all the time and Dawn is the girl. That's it. That's her character. Th...

This book I couldn't finish. There was beginning connection that I usually have when I read comics. It was boring and the plot was confusing at times.

I didn't hate this as much as most people, but it was pretty dull most of he time.

Deplorable. Obviously Rob Liefeld is the worst writer and artist and human, but damn. There is a female character who is telepathic and they talk about her power a couple times but she gets kidnapped and they have to save her and NOT ONCE does she even use her power. I even waited for an issue or two after this pointless woman is rescued to see if she used it in another storyline. NOPE. Once she has been rescued we never see her again the remainder of the series. I still don't understand why Lie...

There were innumerable problems with my damn-fool pledge to read any first volumes my libraries might get in of DC's New 52 reboot. Among them: it was inevitable that the final stretch would be pretty terrible. After the ones I actually wanted to buy, the ones my mates bought, the ones that looked worth seeking out, it will always be towards the end that you're most likely to find the real dregs. And if you're expecting a twist about how this was thus a pleasant surprise - I'm sorry. Hawk (He's

I've been on a kick here lately for the more "obscure" superheroes. I came across this volume after reading New 52's Blue Beetle and decided to give it a try. It was solidly... good. Better than okay, but not great either. Pretty basic comic book action, but with interesting characters and an interesting superhero concept. I haven't read any original Hawk and Dove, but I'd be curious about it after reading this New 52 version. Though, I can see why there isn't a volume 2 (at least, not one that

This is one of the better New 52 books that came out. Oddly enough, and maybe it’s just because they included Rob Liefeld, this thing reads like a follow up to the old series he once worked on. They even reference characters and events from that run. It’s a soft reboot, if anything, and it’s all the better for it. The characters are still a fun and likeable duo, their opposing beliefs making for a strong team dynamic. The costume changes were minimal, again a surprising thing to find from the mo...

would have liked to see a longer series of this that actually set things up for an earned payoff, but with only 8 issues and 2 major conflicts, it all felt a little rushed and we don't really see much character progression. still like the concept, just wish it was better executed

As a huge Hawk and Dove fan from the original Showcase and Teen Titans comics, it was refreshing to see DC dedicate them their own story.

Cool story, and a cool way to introduce someone to the characters and their concept. That being said, has some glaring continuity issues for anyone who has read a lot of DC Comics. Yes, I know. The ugly “C” word continuity. I do feel the art holds it back quite a bit as well. Sometimes it would look fantastic. I have a feeling those were the spreads Jim Lee has a hand in. Other times, it just looked weird. Still others it did not make sense. Overall, just a general “New 52” revamp book. Enjoyabl...

Poor Rob Liefield. He really tried, bless his heart.

First strike! Second Strike! Third Strike! You're out of here!I want to say that Liefield's name isn't a reason to be apprehensive about a title. But this series isn't a contender for that argument. It started off fine, but then writers came and went, leaving only Liefield standing. As an artist, I can appreciate what he draws, but his writing just isn't something I like.2.25 out of 5 stars.
