Review/plot:
I don't know. Darkhawk teams up with whoever is in the Savage Steel armor this day of the week to fight some "Latverian extremists" armed with AIM weapons who think "von Doom is too liberal".

This it totally average; i just find myself completely uninterested. This is the first time we've had a "regular" (non-crossover/major event) storyline, and it turns out that a regular Darkhawk story is just kind of dull.

We do have Chris Powell struggling with being on his own since he's left his family. He's full of rage, for one thing, and both he and his family are (separately) struggling with poverty. This is potentially interesting and belatedly distinguishes him from the Peter Parker mold followed by Rick Sheridan and Danny Ketch. Not a lot to report in this issue, though. One development is the continued psychopathy of Broderick Bazin, who creepily begins befriending one of Chris' brothers, Jason, when their mom isn't looking.
