Spotlight On...DARKHAWK

[Monolith]

The 1990's were in many ways the apex of Marvel Comics, and the comic book industry in general. Spider-Man and X-Men were selling millions of copies before the spectator bubble collapsed. The first half of the decade was flooded by guest appearances of popular characters like Wolverine, Venom, Punisher, and Ghost Rider. Still, like Athena emerging fully formed from the head of Zeus, Darkhawk is arguably one of the most 90's characters of all. An edgy vigilante with mysterious origins, Darkhawk certainly fit the times. However, with his secret identity as Chris Powell, he also had those classic Marvel tropes of a troubled young protagonist with a large supporting cast and ongoing subplots to keep readers coming back for more. A diamond in the rough, or a bunch of trite cliches tossed in a blender? You make the call with today's Spotlight on... Darkhawk!

I've had limited exposure to this character so it should be a very interesting read. Thanks Monolith.

If only I had kept my copy of Darkhawk #1, I’d be rich today! Surely it would be in mint condition, since it was so dull I only ever read it once and decided not to buy issue #2.

I was surprised at how much history darkhawk has, especially from the 90s. I have read very little with him in it so this was quite informative.
