David Walker is in a bad spot partly b/c he gets shytty artists. Doesn't matter how good PM & IF is, that art is trash and no one is going to buy it in bulk unless they're a hardcore fan. His other problem is more subjective bc i just find his story telling to be a bit mediocre. His "jibber jabber" Luke Cage portrayal is whatever to me and while the PM&IF story arcs are "fun"/easy to digest, I simply prefer the introspective sociopolitical commentary in Sam Wilson's book. And it's not like i ever thought of Sam Wilson as more interesting than Luke Cage, but I find the shyt that he's going through more interesting.
I thought Nighthawk had a lot of shock value in how they showed him decimating the white folks. However, as someone who was up on Nighthawk when he first debut 10 years ago in JMS's Supreme Power series... the most captivating parts of Nighthawk actually wasn't when he was breaking limbs.. it was his introspective thoughts on
other superheroes and the shyt he said to them.
Case in point, the first time he ever met Hyperion:
This was the stuff I was used to, it mirrored Sam Wilson's book in that regard but dialed all the way up. In fact, there was another superhero, a black speedster, who played the 'idealistic' Miles Morales type but in his late teens. The type of shyt NH would say to that young man
shyt got emotional watchin them snap at each other over their perspectives, b/c NH hit that young man with that real shyt, and prob overstepped his boundaries but did it b/c he wanted that kid to be great. And the kid had a great deal of respect for NH b/c he knew dude was all about black lives. It was A1 story telling.
