Back in 2009, DC Comics put out a weekly anthology book called Wednesday Comics. It featured 15 stories, one page a week for 12 weeks, and each story was done by a different writer. Kyle Baker put out a pretty good Hawkman story. To be honest, the first page was the best of the story, but it's worth a read if you can ever get your hands on a copy.
A comics podcast called The Daily Rios reviewed the story in an episode last month. It's a good review that had me remembering my own similar reactions when I read it for the first time. Go check out the podcast! LINK
