HAWKMAN #5#6#7#8 - DC COMICS (2002)
€8.00
Kendra and Carter are back in St. Roch,
and Kendra accepted to work inside the Stonechat Museum. As they patrol
the city flying, Mr. Cook, a VIP native of the city, is shot through
the heart with an arrow, during the celebration of a festival. Carter
tells Kendra to bring the victim to an hospital, while Hawkman follows
the suspected killer. In truth, Carter stops the true Green Arrow,
and wrestles with him. Oliver makes him realize that the real killer
escaped thanks to his misjudgement: the two start arguing, also because
Oliver tells Carter that trying to fall in love with Kendra is wrong,
being her only around twenty. As Hawkman gets angry, the two scuffle
again but soon agree they have better things to do. They have a killer
to catch. They all regather inside the Stonechat Museum, where Oliver tells
Hawkman he would like to know Carter Hall, and not his savage
counterpart, better. The two really do not get along, but they get
interrupted by Hawkgirl who finally makes Oliver explain what was
happening: ten years before, he was part of a group who financed a
company, also buying ground here, nearby St. Roch. The company failed,
but the ground is still valuable, and all the victims the killer made
were part of that ten men group. Also, the killer is trying to frame
Green Arrow for it. Kendra tells them that Cook, the man shot at the
festival, is in truth alive as he had a peacemaker that shielded him
from certain death: authorities are keeping it a secret. Oliver tells them only three of those men were not attacked: one
is himself, one is a guy he knows nothing of, only his last name,
Ludlow. The last one is Alfred Sleissenger, owner of the Flying Pig
Casino right here in St. Roch. Oliver was not able to contact him, and
his penthouse is probably the most guarded place in town. The three
decide to act: Hawkman will distract security, while Hawkgirl will try
to get Oliver inside. As they fly towards the casino, Oliver asks her if
Hawkman is making her adopting the name of Hawkgirl, but Kendra tells
him he's not: it's her choice, a tribute to her aunt.
As they enter the place, the killer is already there: Thomas Ludlow, one of the ten investors, is behind the deadly plot.
