Published August 1995 at $2.25 US, this Direct Sales edition carries the classic DC bullet logo and a cover by Loebs, Lieber, and Shoultz that commits to the golden chaos: shattered debris, snarling monsters, and Wonder Woman looking like she has done this before and will do it again. \u003cem\u003eThe Way of the Warrior\u003c\/em\u003e crossover, Part 6 — mid-'90s DC at its most gloriously alien.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📚 Hawkman #23 — DC Comics, August 1995 — Direct Sales Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🎨 $2.25 US \/ $3.25 CAN \/ £1.50 UK — Direct Sales Edition with barcode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📌 Back cover: Full-page \u003cem\u003eSpecies\u003c\/em\u003e movie ad — \"Two decades ago scientists sent a message to space...

Deathrock is the kind of alien location that mid-'90s DC invented specifically to make Hawkman's life worse, and it succeeds completely. Steve Lieber's interior work gives the alien creatures genuine menace — the spread of Yormock and Vuldarian lore packed into this issue is the kind of dense world-building that rewards re-reads. The cover is a standout in the run: Wonder Woman in black, mid-air, surrounded by monsters, on a field of gold. The \u003cem\u003eSpecies\u003c\/em\u003e back cover is the bonus: alien horror advertising on the back of an alien horror comic, released the same summer.
