Major Spoilers Poll of the Week
DC and Marvel have numerous heroes that fly, but only a few each who have wings. This week, Major Spoilerite, Silvergray, wants everyone to decide who would win in a fight, Hawkman (DC Comics) or Angel (Marvel).
After you vote, use the comment section to justify your answer, and more importantly, let everyone know what era of each character you are pitting against one another in the battle of the century… or the week, take your pick.

Scalped Volume 1: Indian Country
Writer: Jason Aaron
Artist: R.M. Guera
Publisher: Vertigo
Fifteen years ago, Dashiell "Dash" Bad Horse ran away from a life of abject poverty and utter hopelessness on the Prairie Rose Indian Reservation searching for something better. Now he's come back home armed with nothing but a set of nunchucs, a hell-bent-for-leather attitude and one dark secret, to find nothing much has changed on "The Rez" - short of a glimmering new casino, and a once-proud people overcome by drugs and organized crime. Is he here to set things right or just get a piece of the action?
