A new era begins for the winged wonder with "Nth Ways To Die" led by comics personality Rob Liefeld. With only a couple of references to previous storylines, this next phase starts on a blank slate and feels like a #1 issue for its accessibility and simple premise. Somewhat formulaic, the story has a few good things in its favor that make the title worthy of a second chance.

Although the dialog is a bit clichéd, the internal monologue does a great job in summarizing who Hawkman is in this new continuity, and where his recent dilemmas have taken him. The issue also jumps right into the action, saving readers the suffering of a slow set-up chapter. Joe Bennett's art is an immediate breath of fresh air for a series that sorely needed it. Finally, the seeds are planted for the introduction in the DCnU of a character very dear to my heart. Overall, a good start.
