   Back in February of 2019, the Hawkman series by Robert Venditti revealed a former life of Hawkman, and it wasn't just any random character. This character was Catar-Ol, a Kryptonian who was living on Krypton at the time of its destruction. He appeared in a few comics during the next two or three years, but he has not been seen since 2022. Still, he was given a pretty important background.

   What is Hawkworld? For me, it is a place to find my favorite superhero, to celebrate the past and look forward to the future. It is a place that lets me get away from all the business, problems, and worries that everyday life throws at me. It is a place to find the kid in me and feel young again. It is a place which allows me to soar with my favorite fictional hero. It is a place to share my favorite heroes with other like-minded Hawkamaniacs! It is a special place, and that special place reached a big milestone today!

Celebrating Impossible Day on July 4th!

   July 4th may be "Independence Day" in America, but it's Impossible Day at Hawkworld! Let's take a look at the Thanagarian tradition that first appeared in The Brave and the Bold No. 44 (November 1962). 

McFarlane Toys Releases "New" Hawkgirl Figure

 

 McFarlane Toys 7" DC Collector Edition 80s Wonder Woman, Poison Ivy And Hawkgirl First Look

    McFarlane Toys announced on June 25 that they would be releasing a Golden Age-era (sort of) version of Hawkgirl, along with Wonder Woman and Poison Ivy! They are currently on sale at Walmart. This version has one of Hawkgirl's Golden Age costumes, but the head is still Kendra, not Shiera. It looks like they just repainted the figure and didn't do much else.

Absolute Hawkman / Carter Hall in Absolute Superman No. 20 (August 2026)

   SPOILER ALERT! As a Hawkman fan, it has been very difficult to like what DC Comics is doing to the character in their Absolute Superman series. Hawkman first appeared in Absolute Evil No. 1 last year, and there is absolutely nothing to like about this character as a hero or a person. He is a murderer and a traitor, and he has become the muscle for the villains of this universe's Earth. So when this issue kicked off the way it did, I'm left with conflicting feelings, most of them not so good. This review is a spoiler, so please come back after you have read the issue.

Always fun to update this collection of Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman pics from time to time. Hawkgirl truly is an iconic character with a rich history.

DC Comics Solicitations September 2026 for Hawkman and Hawkgirl

    DC Comics' solicitations for September 2026 have been released. There were zero mentions of Hawkman, Hawkwoman, or Hawkgirl in any of the current issues, but I managed to find Hawkman on a couple of covers and a double-mention of a Hawkman comic in a DC Finest book. Also, there was no mention of him, but Absolute Hawkman's recent appearances are in Absolute Superman. Wish there was more to report, but that's it for September. The wait continues. Keep soaring, Hawkfans!
