Hawk and Dove #7

If I thought Rob Liefeld was a bad artist it was only because I hadn't been subjected to his prose.  The dialogue in this issue is so stilted.  No one actually talks the way he had these characters deliver their dialogue.  I could give him a pass for Hunter and Xyla, but not for Dawn.

Things I liked: I liked seeing Hank stand up for Dawn.  He's a better guy than people give him credit for being.

Things I didn't like: cutting off Hawk's finger (or "talon" as Hunter wanted to call it) and taking some of Dove's hair ("feathers"? Really?) to do some kind of ritual confuses me.  There's been a lot of talk about people who worship the Hawk or the Council of War.  Hawk and Dove are supposed to be equals.  Is there a counter group that worships the Dove?  Or the Council of Peace?  It's like Liefeld has forgotten one whole part of the Hawk and Dove team.
