Nighthawks by Jeremy Flagg

dankeohane's review against another edition

4.0

I really enjoyed this book! It took a while to get my head around so many characters, but in many ways it was like an X-Men reboot with some interesting new powers. The first half is backstory of a few main characters, some of whom are only just discovering their powers, and the second half is pretty much non-stop action/battle. Not that there isn't quite a lot of action in the first half. Very well written with great dialogue and everything kept at a fast paced throughout, I'm glad I finally got around to read this first in what seems to be a pretty extensive series. If you like your superhero stories violent and at times snarky (in a good way), this is definitely one you should check out.

Fear of the different brings out the worst in people. In this story, different means empowered. After mutated humans begin exhibiting strange powers, the "children of Nostradamus" as they are called, are persecuted. Some want to use them. Some want them dead.

Nighthawks brings together an assemble cast to introduce what looks to be an engaging series of superhero stories. I really enjoyed the creative use of powers in fight scenes and the interplay between characters. I'll be back to see what this team does in future volumes!
