Dynamite has done it again.

This series of the ThunderHawks has these characters either fighting or working together. When it comes to a newer series, I like being engaged right away. There are so many unique elements that are presented in this series. From love to action, to a little bit of gore, I like it all.

ThunderHawks gives a real-life view and relatable settings to the reader. I like seeing the simple stuff that people usually see on the street. It definitely gives me that Spider-Man feel, which keeps the story grounded. I also like that it seems that all the characters actually care about each other. I love it when teams actually want to be together and work together for the common good. I really hope to see more of that throughout the series as it goes on. ThunderHawks also has an element of fantasy, and growing up as a fantasy fan, I really enjoy that element.

When it comes to the art, it is really unique. All different kinds of hairstyles, as well as each page is different than the first page. I see the art style of the villains is also unique. ThunderHawks does not shy away from the gore. This makes me happy because I don’t want artists to play it safe. I want them to express the characters the way they need to be. It either gives them a look into their lives, and the reader can make their decision on how they feel about them. This is a great stepping stone that ThunderHawks has made, and I can’t wait to read more.

A couple of things I think it is missing are world-building. If there is a fantasy element going to be used, I need a lot of world-building. Tell me more about what is going on. Not just the fighting that is presented in the forefront. One other thing is, is about the pacing. Sometimes I just don’t want to see action; I like a little bit of a break in that. Hopefully, the next issue will give it a break.

Overall Grade: 8.5/10
