I don't have as many thoughts yet, b/c i'm still digesting, and it was more of setting up character interactions and plot than the first one, which was showing the new and old parts of the story.

1 thing I love about Hawkgirl #1 is how Jadzia Axelrod made Kendra's general B/C-list status that relegates her to a team member (rather than solo hero) often be tied into her characterization
I think her often being surrounded by people but also being alone (but not admitting to being alone :P) is something that works well with her.
(That said like 'with the justice league gone' what are you talking about? Is this not half a justice league lineup???)
first one is 19 year old kendra. I wanted to see how she'd look if she had more a similar body type to how she did at first, and then just :P to get to buff kendra she eventually buffed up a lot. I like it when characters get to evolve, she doesn't have to have been buff always.

non spoilers: overall i really liked it. Kendra still had her issues, we got a small hint of what ever happened over the past who knows how many continuity resets, and she was very pretty. I'm not used to being fed this well by dc writers (and artists):
okay spoilers abound
squeeeeeeeeee
her retractable wings are neat. i hope she can magical girl transform like rebirth hawkman could (can still? IDK)
I liked it a lot. I liked that we got to acknowledge her past relationsihp with carter (and that they were serious) and the importance of that.
I liked that we got to see her still have all her relateable issues and stuff.
If LOVED how the artist drew her. She was very pretty and buff.
I did like that we see an old friend of hawkgirl's (From college) who is queer/ possibly trans (said character admitted they dont know)
also, dialogue acknowledged kendra's buff arms :P
I don't know what's going on with galaxy, i guess we'll see. I"m guessing she'll show up later in teh comic.
the talking corgi is eh. but :P who cares
I think its interesting that the villain uses nth metal stuff. i wonder what the new lore around that is :P
alright the critiques:
would have been nice to see more OLD friends of hers. I guess we see dinah (black canary) and karen (powergirl. if i recall her name right). apparenlty she had a relationship with jonn (martian manhunter) at some point which i don't know enough about her time on JLA in rebirth to know if i like taht. I guess i just mostly miss seeing her interact with carter and hector though, and idk if we'll ever get that back in canon ;-;
feels almost like the opposite complaint i'd have if i was reviewing the hawkman rebirth series today: there were TOO many other characters. I want to focus more on hawkgir;, dammit :P though most of the drama/ dialogue was about her i guess.
I do think that it could go good or bad that the issue ends with her in peril. will depend how it continues. Its nice to have a cliffhanger but it does vaguely remind of of hte previous hawkgirl solo she had (2007) where it felt like she was ALWAYS in peril.

[image: 6 panels of kendra saunder’s face from jsa 26. she has big eyes and a slightly long nose and shorter chin. she looks kind of sad in most panels. in the final panel she is crying. end image]
IIRC Rags morales (artist for this issue) usually refs real people when drawing can anyone tell who kendra was supposed to be?
My favorite thing about Kendra is how unstoppable she is, which granted often manifests in recklessness or fighting while wounded :P But oftentimes its to protect loved ones (link) I think that because she never really confronted her suidcidalness, sometimes she has a lack of regard for her own personal safety.
