<\/p>\n#26 - Blackhawk\/Sgt. Rock<\/h3>\n
<\/center><\/p>\n
Sgt. Rock is DC Comics' quintessential war character. His adventures It used to be that war comics were a genre staple, but these days they're much more rare. However, there's a new Blackhawks<\/i> comic in the DC relaunch, and a new (modern) Sgt. Rock appearing in Men at War<\/i>. These particular military men may not be seen very often these days, but their legacy lives on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" #26 - Blackhawk\/Sgt.

Will Eisner is best known for creating The Spirit<\/a>, but that's far from his only contribution to the world of comics. He created the Blackhawks for Quality Comics, home of Plastic Man<\/a>, coming up with the backstory and designing the uniforms. The Blackhawk Minimate looks very impressive, with unique molded pieces for his jacket and hat - no, it's not the same piece M. Bison<\/a> wore. The jacket (which is done in two pieces to allow the waist to move) has sculpted buttons, a belt with holster on the righ hip, raised lapels and a scarf tuckeed in at the neck. The Blackhawk symbol is painted facing the right direction for once<\/a>, and while most of his uniform is matte black, the boots are glossy. He comes with a silver and black pistol to put in his holster.<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/dcmmbhsr2.jpg\" "\\"Sgt.")
started in the '50s and ran uninterrupted until 1988. The Minimate does a nice job of duplicating Joe Kubert's ragged artwork: his face has the wildly grizzled look of a man who's spent as much time at war as Rock has, his silver dog tags hang against his bare chest, and he has a bit of hair on his forearms. His helmet has the insignia of a Master Sergeant, though they're the desk jockeys and it's the First Sergeants who would be in charge of a Company. His coat is a new piece, with an ammo belt draped around the neck, two grenades on the chest, and a knife and canteen on the back of the belt. His pants and sleeves are painted with small wrinkles, and the knees are torn. He's armed with a machine gun and a pistol (if you want to give it to him - the set includes two, but they're both next to Blackhawk).<\/p>\n
