Written by MIKE COSTA Art and cover by KEN LASHLEY Welcome to a world waging a new kind of war that's faster and more brutal than ever before. It's fought by those who would make the innocent their targets, using computers, smart weapons and laser-guided missiles. The new enemy is hard to find - and closer to home than we think. Between us and them stand the Blackhawks, an elite force of military specialists equipped with the latest in cutting-edge hardware and vehicles. Their mission: Kill the bad guys before they kill us.

Lady Blackhawk battles the Internet! And who, or what, is Mother Machine?! Blackhawks only gets cooler - and stranger - by the issue.
The Blackhawks have a brutal, apocalyptic showdown in the Eyrie against their newest, most dangerous foe. Meanwhile, Canada and Wildman enact a desperate plan to escape their captorsbut escape to where?
Three of the Blackhawks are incapacitated with injuries, and two more are stranded in outer space! The team has suffered a serious beating, but they still have one more crazy, hail Mary stunt up their sleeve as our first story is brought to its explosive conclusion by Mike Costa and new fan-favorite artist CAFU!
While the rest of the field team puts down a sudden uprising of rogue technology, Irish and Attila make the most of their medical leave by getting wasted in an Eastern European dive bar – though the locals don’t take kindly to having U.N. peacekeepers nosing around in their business
The Blackhawks have always worked in the shadows, hidden away from public view - but now that they've been caught on video, and that video has gone viral, the game has changed. Their U.N. masters have added Valkyrie to the team, a woman as skilled at navigating the world of public relations as she is at flying cutting-edge aircraft - it's too bad the rest of the Blackhawks hate her guts! But while the Blackhawks' greater mission is public knowledge, team leader Lincoln is still keeping some serious secrets! [(W) Mike Costa (A) Graham Nolan, Norm Rapmund (CA) Ken Lashley]
