. . .

Ladyhawke?

[skalja]

Wrong universe!

[aaron_bourque]

Well, if they want to live together, but editorial mandate says they have to live separately, Ladyhawke wouldn't be a terrible way to go for a while (until editorial changes or changes its mind . . .)

[skalja]

I'm referring to Ladyhawk, the MC2 character. :)

[arbre_rieur]

So what happened to them?

[superfangirl1]

They evaporate in light and disappear it seem. Afterwards the issue ends so no clue? :)

[dreamreaver]

iirc there's going to be a new Hawkman series after this, so they're probably still alive. Forcibly separated, but alive.

[arbre_rieur]

You know what might be a good opportunity here, depending on where this is going? They should place the Halls in copies of their original, Egyptian bodies. It's a rare opportunity to turn two semi-major names into character of color that doesn't require replacing them with successors. The Egypt's angle been there from the beginning, and they've never shied from emphasizing it, so it wouldn't even come off as forced or contrived.

[turtlefu]

If the story is good, sure, but just making them Egyptian for the sake of making them Egyptian comes across as gimmicky
"Hey look we are EXACTLY the same, only EGYPTIAN"

[vitruvian23]

Missing the part where they're already Egyptian in origin.

[curlyjo1]

Yay, they're gone. Now can we have Kendra back?

[darkknightjrk]

Kendra is there--from what I understand, the Hawkwoman we've been seeing during Brightest Day is, like Carter, an accumulation of all the previous Chey-Aras put together, and that includes Kendra.

[curlyjo1]

And so we lose the individual character. If that's the case, they can stay gone.

[big_daddy_d]

Something about Hawkwoman confused me....Because in the Rann-Thanagar War...Shayera was alive..until she died..but yea..shown to be someone completely separate and different person from Kendra..plus isn't Kendra Hawkwoman's granddaughter or niece or something?..*sigh* these Hawks are confusing.

[kusonaga]

No, that was the Thanagarian Shayera. Different Hawkwoman.

[kirke_novak]

So she's a Trill?

[aeolos_sakya]

The Entity-dickery strikes again?

[sherkahn]

Why yes, what gave it away?

We were warned from the beginning that not all of the resurrections would be good things or have happy endings. The white light may be just as big as threat as Nekron and the Black Lanterns.

[jlbarnett]

that's a little hard to believe.

Of course I've never understood the whole "do what I say or die" thing considering that it wants something from them. With them alive and together it still gets something. Dead it gets nothing.

[icon_uk]

I've been assuming it's not a threat, but an literal warning; The Lantern won't kill them, but failing to follow it's orders will result in their death via external means.

[philippos42]

"The champion-to-be must be serviced above all others."

So, wait, they're supposed to service the "champion-to-be"? (Hal?)

Given that this is S_D...

[bewareofgeek]

Exactly what does it mean by "serviced"?

Re: Given that this is S_D...

[curlyjo1]

I know it means you've been in Scans_Daily too long when there is no good way to take it.

Re: Given that this is S_D...

[windiebird.livejournal.com]

Oh there are plenty of good ways to take it. Heh heh.

[thanekos]

oh, lemme guess; the Entity took 'never be apart' literally, didn't it?

Be an interesting opening hook for Robinson's Hawkman, certainly.

[ian_karkull]

I'd definitely read the Adventures of Hawkmanwoman, the double-headed hermaphrodite monstrosity from beyond.

[misterbug]

I was more imagining a genderless mash-entity, but, yes, that works also.

[silverzeo]

.... what happens if you fail the task?

[icon_uk]

I assume your life is removed and you're back to being dead.

[apexpredator]

And this

[kusonaga]

Breaking the curse is a little meaningless. If they ever do die, they'll brought back again anyway, in some manner. Curse was a handy thing for that.

[ian_karkull]

Great, I don't care. When every single story about your characters amounts to nothing but continuity wank, I think it's time to just let. them. go.
Get rid of the Hawkpeople already.

[venatosapiens]

Seconded. The continuity errors that fly like birds just need to be expunged. Bring them back if ever DC does something similar to Ultimate Marvel and can figure out a good, foolproof, not to be immediately ret-conned hook for them.

At this point we're all just extremely confused.

[joasakura]

wait wait wait.. I haven't really been following Brightest Day - but PLEASE don't tell me Boston is dead again? He looks dead here.

(couldn't give a rats ass about the hawks)

[icon_uk]

I'm assuming he's just gone back to wearing his mask

[heckfiresinferno.blogspot.com]

I know I'm completely alone in this, but I wouldn't be averse to Shayera Thal from "Hawkworld" returning...

[zyriex]

So lets see if I got the gist here:

A couple in love, who've been separated by tragedy through a series of lifetimes thanks to a curse, have finally broken the curse that's kept them apart, but the thing that brought them back to life has decided to separate them again for no explained reason.

Huh, that didn't seem too bad.

[icon_uk]

It was going to separate them, but Hawkman kicked up such a fuss that it seems to have chosen to accede to his request, though exactly how is anyone's guess.

[jlroberson]

So, basically, it's like a video game. Interest fully lost.

[julian]

If there hadn't been this kind of "I am powerful and compassionate, now do as I say or Suffer" thing before, that'd be kind of creepy.

As it is, it's merely repetitive.
