What's the consensus on the Palmiotti/Gray run?
I've been reading through the post-Crisis/pre-Flashpoint Hawkman titles for the last several weeks, starting with the initial Hawkworld volume. I finished up Geoff Johns' run on Hawkman, and I just got into the Palmiotti/Gray run, finishing it's first arc just a few minutes ago.
I thought all of Hawkworld and Ostrander's run were great and Johns was Johns, but I'm a bit unimpressed by this first Palmiotti/Gray arc. I'm going to continue reading through it, but I was just curious, does it get better? Is his run considered good or fondly looked back on? What are your thoughts on it?
Thanks!
