I tell you it's hard not to like this guy. So what if he is a slimy back-stabber who can't be killed, he has style. Not only does he want to take over Earth politics, but he also wants to do it in a way that will astound the mind. For example again he creates a powerful minion, Mr. Sands, to confront Katar and get the foot-work done. The battle between Hawkman and The Shadow Thief alone pays for this book. I'm not sure what the alien space-craft angle is for this storyline, tune in next issue. Lastly if you thought that there was an emotional rift between katar and Shayera, wait until you see the last panel of this story.
