This is the final issue of the six-issue limited series Death of Hawkman, subtitled "Out of Time, Part 6: Blood and Metal," published by DC Comics on March 1, 2017. The story erupts on the planet Rann: Rannians and Kanjar Ro's people, mentally controlled by Despero, form a great army that strikes at Rann's defenses, while Despero schemes to open a Zeta Beam passage to send his army to Earth. Adam Strange must destroy the Zeta portal, while Hawkman Katar Hol faces the Nth Metal-enhanced Despero alone. In the fierce battle, Katar pours out all the Nth Metal in his body, transforming it into a lethal projectile weapon that grievously wounds his opponent, at the cost of exhausting his own life force. The Zeta portal finally explodes, sweeping up Katar, Despero, and Adam together, and all three are at first presumed dead. The epilogue reveals that Adam is trapped in the runaway Zeta Beam and cast into an unfamiliar dimension; Despero rebuilds his body at the edge of the universe with the help of Nth Metal; and of Hawkman only a skeleton and his iconic helmet remain. Rann and Thanagar, witnessed by the Green Lantern Corps, reach a peace agreement, closing out this crisis that spanned the stars. This is Volume 6 (the finale) of the series, 32 pages.Editor's review
六期连载走到终章，标题里的“死”字没有打折扣。马克·安德烈科（Marc Andreyko）把整条线索收拢到一场硬碰硬的对决上：卡塔·霍尔明知自己体内的第九金属是敌人最想要的东西，仍选择把它当作最后一件武器全部交出。Aaron Lopresti 的分镜在混乱的战场与近身肉搏之间切换，铺陈出“牺牲换和平”的古典英雄骨架。需要注意的是，亚当·斯特兰奇在本系列中戏份极重，某些读者甚至认为他是真正的主角；如果你期待的是纯粹的鹰侠独角戏，可能会略感失衡。结局留白明显——“不是终结，远非终结”——为日后《暗夜金属》与鹰侠新刊重新启用这一神话埋下伏笔。作为完结册，它更像一次代价高昂的谢幕，而非圆满的胜利。Who it's for
A good fit for
- 追完前五册、需要收尾的限定系列读者
- 喜欢亚当·斯特兰奇与兰恩—萨纳加太空设定的科幻迷

- 读完可接《暗夜金属》大事件与后续《鹰侠》第五卷，理解卡塔之死在连续性中的位置

FAQ
鹰侠在本册中真的死了吗？
是的。卡塔·霍尔将体内第九金属全部化为攻击，耗尽生命力，随后在泽塔传送门爆炸中消失；尾声只留下骸骨与头盔。但结尾字幕写明“不是终结”，暗示日后会被重新启用。这一册是系列的第几本？
这是《鹰侠之死》（Death of Hawkman）六期限定系列的第6册，也是完结篇，2017年3月1日发行，故事副标题为《超时，第六部分：血与金属》。没有看过前五册能直接读吗？
不太建议。本册直接承接第5册的危机与德斯佩罗融合第九金属的情节，缺少前情会遇到大量人物与设定上的困惑，最好按顺序阅读。这本书有中文版吗？
