About this ebook

Collected for the first time, the acclaimed miniseries from writer Marc Andreyko (BATWOMAN, WONDER WOMAN Õ77) and artist Aaron Lopresti (WONDER WOMAN), DEATH OF HAWKMAN-the last great adventure of one of comicsÕ most legendary heroes! Traveling through space with the incredible power of the Zeta Beam, he once soared the skies of the faraway world of Rann as its greatest guardian. Now heÕs retired to his home planet of Earth, trying to live a normal life. Normal, that is, until heÕs unexpectedly beamed back to the world he once protected-and finds it in ruins. The perpetrators: the winged warriors of Thanagar. So why has ThanagarÕs mightiest hero, Hawkman, come soaring to Adam StrangeÕs rescue? Hawkman knows that his people have been framed for RannÕs destruction. Only he and Strange can bring justice to the real mastermind: the interstellar tyrant called Despero. But the forces of both worlds see them as fugitives from justice-and theyÕve sent none other than Hawkwoman herself to take them down. Can Hawkman and Adam Strange put aside their distrust and save what remains of their civilizations? One thing is for sure: someone will pay the ultimate priceÉ
