Savage Hawkman #6 (2012) continues the high-stakes adventure of Carter Hall, the winged warrior torn between ancient power and modern chaos. As part of DC Comics’ New 52 initiative, this series reimagines Hawkman in a darker, more primal light—fusing science fiction, ancient legend, and unrelenting action.
In this issue, written by Tony S. Daniel, with sharp and visceral artwork by Philip Tan, Hawkman is pushed to his physical and emotional limits. Trapped in the middle of a violent confrontation with a mysterious alien enemy, Carter must rely on the power of the Nth metal—a sentient, shape-shifting substance that forms his weaponry and armour. The stakes rise dramatically as he discovers just how deadly and unpredictable this power source can be.
The writing by Daniel delves deeper into Carter's inner turmoil, exploring themes of identity, isolation, and destiny. As the battle intensifies, the lines between man and myth begin to blur. The issue also starts to peel back the larger mystery surrounding Hawkman’s past lives and the true nature of his legacy.
Philip Tan’s artwork is particularly striking here. The character designs are bold and angular, with detailed linework that gives Hawkman a powerful, brooding presence. The action sequences are frenetic and cinematic, using dramatic panel composition to amplify the sense of scale and danger. The visual tone is dark and intense, mirroring the story’s shift toward the cosmic and unknown.
Whether you’re a long-time fan of Hawkman or newly exploring the New 52 universe, this issue offers a compelling combination of myth, alien technology, and raw heroism. It plays a key role in building out the series’ larger narrative, setting up future revelations and greater conflicts.
