A little over a year ago, the latest Hawkman series began, this time with writer Robert Venditti and artist Bryan Hitch. After many a year of reboots, retcons and retreads, most leave me feeling pretty meh. However, this retelling of the Hawkman mythos rivals Alan Moore, Steve Bissette and John Totleben‘s re-envisioning of Swamp Thing in the 1980s.
With Hitch moving on to other projects after a year, enter penciller Patrick Olliffe and inker Tom Palmer as the new art team, industry veterans both. Olliffe has been sharing some of his pencils online, and here’s my work as an inker over him in celebration of #inktober.
