Chicago’s protector continues his deadly mission in this Nighthawk #3 exclusive
David F. Walker’s big break in the comics industry was his Shaft miniseries at Dynamite, showing that he has a strong talent for telling street-level stories that don’t shy away from major social and political issues. Walker wasn’t able to use those writing muscles when he was working on DC’s Cyborg, and jumping over to Marvel Comics was a wise choice that has brought out the best in his writing. His work on Nighthawk is quickly shaping up to be the best of his career, telling a tense, vicious story about a vigilante who is fiercely devoted to stopping crime and corruption in his city. Making Chicago the home base of Kyle “Nighthawk” Richmond has allowed Walker to explore the fraught racial dynamics of the city, and he’s working with an art team that amplifies the impact of his hard-hitting narrative.
