I have to admit there's something about a caped, low-powered vigilante that just seems awesome. From The Shadow to Batman to Night Man to Moon Knight, they all tend to work very well in the comic form. Now upstart publisher Apogee Comics is out to debut their own such character and he looks to offer some new ideas to the archetype.
Phantom Hawk focuses on Max Malone, a man accused of treason and injected with experimental nanites. He fights to clear his name while also scouring his home city for evil. The book features stunning artwork by Dino Agor, a name I've never seen up until this point, but I suspect will start to gain some recognition after this is complete.
The book has some really great pledge levels, but what drew my interest was an excellent $5 digital level. In addition to the first issue of Phantom Hawk it also includes two previous Apogee Comics Universe titles, Crimson Guardians #1 and Bengali #1. That's a truly great way to drum up interest in a new super-universe and it certainly got me on board.
The campaign has just under two weeks left as I write this and has just barely passed its goal. Support is always important to projects like this, so be sure to go take a look and throw it a few dollars.
