Twas the Night Before Christmas (Hawkman Version)
"'Twas the Night Before Christmas (Hawkman Version)"
By Clement Clarke Moore / Revised by Tim Board (@Hawkworld_)
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a Thanagarian Snare Mouse
The DC Classic figures lined up on the mantle with care
In hopes that Hawkman soon would be there
Not a creature was stirring, not even a Thanagarian Snare Mouse
The DC Classic figures lined up on the mantle with care
In hopes that Hawkman soon would be there
While visions of Nth metal danced in their heads
And mamma in her gown, and I in my Hawkman logo cap
Had just settled down for a long winter’s nap

Board Review of Hawkman No. 19: "Tyrant Reborn: Better Half"
Ever since we found out back in October that Hawkwoman was coming to the Hawkman series, many Hawkfans have been looking forward to this one. Since the series began a year and a half ago, we have been wondering how Hawkman would finally meet Hawkwoman. And as Carter Hall says, "Not like this."

Explaining Hawkman, Hawkwoman, and Hawkgirl (December 1, 2019 Update)
Here is my December 1, 2019 attempt at explaining the current Carter Hall, Shayera Hol, and Kendra Saunders. The situation continues to change and we find out something more almost every issue. I've tried to piece everything that we have so far to see how the current Hawks are connected. Feel free to ask questions or debunk my theories in the comments below!

Sky Tyrant: The Evil Hawkman from Earth-3
Hawkman is going to be one of the six heroes who are "infected" by the Batman Who Laughs in a DC Comics event this fall. Here's the cover for Hawkman No. 18 (out on November 13th) by Tyler Kirkham introduces us to Sky Tyrant, the evil Hawkman of Earth-3. I'll revise this post as he makes other appearances!

Ktar Deathbringer: Hero or Genocidal Murderer
In Hawkman Vol. V No. 7, released on December 12, 2018, Ktar Deathbringer appeared for the first time. According to writer Robert Venditti, he is the very first Hawkman, the Hawkman from which all other versions ever created came from. It is a shocking story about a murderous general who committed genocide with his army on planet after planet for many millennia. In this article, I want to take a look at the character and discuss why Venditti took the bold move of giving Hawkman such a dark, evil origin.

Hawkman 80th Anniversary Montage: "Across Time and Space"
During the past year or so, artist Nicola Scott has put out some beautiful covers of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Nightwing. The pictures show the history of the heroes from their first appearance to the most recent. To celebrate the 80th anniversary of Hawkman's first appearance in Flash Comics No. 1 on November 10, 1939, I decided to put together a montage of Hawkman art. I started on this picture a few months ago and it took a lot more time and effort than I expected. Since I'm not an artist, I decided to put together pictures from art by the many artists who have drawn Hawkman over the years. It was not easy. Not only did I have to look for a clean front shot of the characters, but I also had to find pictures that included the wings. I often found a great picture, only to have the wings cut off by the panels or word bubbles overlapping the art. I added the title "Across Time and Space" from the current Hawkman series by Robert Venditti. I'll list the name of the artists and add some comments below. Click the picture for a better look.
Board Review of Hawkman No. 17: Darkness Within: Black Mantle
Hawkman has been a hero who always seems to have a rage inside of him. We've seen stories where the rage came bursting out in full force. And when it's a character who carries around a spiked mace, the end result can be brutal. In the climax of the Shadow Thief story, we see it once again.

Shadow Thief: Villain of Darkness
![]() |
Shadow Thief by Bill Sienkiewicz |
---It seems like some kinda destiny that him (Hawkman) and I are gonna keep runnin' into one another.
---Shadow ThiefLex Luthor. Joker. Cheetah. Professor Zoom. Black Manta. Sinestro. All of these villains are instantly recognizable to comic book fans as the main adversaries of the DC Comics' superheroes. They constantly, almost too frequently, show up in the comics of the heroes. DC Comics has deemed 2019 as the Year of the Villain, and for the main adversary to fight Hawkman, Shadow Thief was chosen. Many Hawkfans may have chosen Gentleman Ghost, Hath-Set, or Byth as Hawkman's main antagonist. But out of all the Hawk-villains, and there are many, Shadow Thief has the most appearances in the comics over the years. Shadow Thief, along with Gentleman Ghost, are probably the two most famous and popular Hawk-villains. Shadow Thief has made his presence felt in DC Comics over the years, so it can be said that he deserves the spotlight There have been a few versions of the Shadow Thief, but I'll focus on the most famous, original and current Shadow Thief, Carl Sands.

Board Review of Hawkman No. 16: "Darkness Within: Old Ghosts"
It’s DC Comics’ year
of the villain, and Hawkman No. 16 brought us villains from every direction. We
got Gentleman Ghost, arguably the most popular Hawk-villain in a flashback, a
former villain-turned-ally in the Shade, Shadow Thief, arguably the most famous
Hawk-villain all powered up, a giant shadow dragon, and the apparent arrival of
the Earth-3 Hawkman Sky Tyrant. Wow, this book was fun!

Gardner Fox Biography!
Being a Hawkman and Justice League fan, I was looking forward to reading the first biography of Gardner Fox, the man who created so many iconic heroes and superhero teams. As I read the book, it became clear that the history of Gardner Fox is the history of comics. Jennifer has gathered all the information available on Gardner Fox (no small feat!) and put it into an easy-to-follow course on not only the father of the Justice League but also on the history of comics itself. If you are a fan of comic books, this is one book you will want to read! Amazon Link

Board Review of Hawkman No. 14: "Darkness Within: Shadowed"
What makes Hawkman interesting? I often get that question,
and I have many answers. His image, his weapons, his relationship with
Hawkgirl, his rogues’ gallery, his relationships with other heroes, and the
list goes on. In the current series, we find an immensely interesting character
by writer Robert Venditti. Venditti has recreated a character by giving him
countless lives and memories that stretch across time and space, and the hero’s
journey of exploration and discovery to find truth and atonement. It’s been a
captivating series and issue No. 14 yet again brings up several things that make
Hawkman one of the most diverse and deepest characters that DC Comics has to
offer.

Board Review of Hawkman No. 13: "On Common Ground"
With the first year and the origin story of Hawkman completed, we wondered where writer Robert Venditti would take us for the standalone issue. After the big climax in the last issue, it's natural to assume that this issue would be a bit of a breather, but Rob stepped up and gave us one of the best issues in Hawkman's history. Some of the
standalone issues from Hawkman Vol. 4 (2002-2006) are some of the best issues of the
series, and this issue is right up there with those. Over the past year,
Venditti has shown us what he can do when he can build up a story gradually,
and now we see what he can do with one issue. This review is full of spoilers
so if you haven’t read the comic yet, don’t spoil it. Go buy the
comic, read it and then come back to read the review.

An Open Letter to Gardner Fox

Dear Gardner Fox,
On the occasion
of your 108th birthday, I wanted to write an eloquent article,
describing your amazing abilities and the work you left behind. After several
rewrites, I finally gave up. I’m afraid I’m not eloquent enough to do a proper
article to mark the occasion. So instead, I’m writing this letter to express what your work means to me. This I think I can do.

Fan Theory connecting the Current Hawkman and Shayera Hol to the Savage Hawkman
One of my favorite pastimes is to tie all of the continuities of Hawkman into one character. In the current Hawkman series, Robert Venditti has brilliantly put all of the past Hawkmen on one foundation. He has made an origin that explains all the Hawkmen and why Hawkman does what he does. It changes everything about Hawkman but also leaves everything that has happened in the past intact. However, a new challenge for fans came up when Shayera Hol and the Savage Hawkman showed up in Justice League No. 14-16 (February-March 2019).

Board Review of Hawkman No. 12: "Out of Many, One"
Caution: There are some spoilers ahead so read at your own peril or come back after you've read the issue!
When we set out on a journey of exploration
and discovery with Hawkman twelve months ago, we wondered how the hero we know
as Carter Hall would be changed. How will his story be written this time? What
kind of hero will writer Robert Venditti and artist Bryan Hitch bring us? The answer
turns out to be everything and nothing, both at the same time. The core of
Hawkman remains unchanged. He is the superhero of flight. He is the superhero
of the sky. He carries a mace. He is from Egypt. He is from Thanagar. Shiera is
the love of his life. He is an archaeologist. He remains the hero we’ve always
known.

About the artists taking on Hawkman after Bryan Hitch.

Covers for Hawkman Bryan (12), Will Conrad (13), Roger Robinson (14) |
With Bryan Hitch leaving the Hawkman series after issue No. 12 (release date May 8th), there has been some speculation about the artists for the following issues. We've seen the solicitations for June and July. For issue No. 13, Will Conrad is doing the artwork. We were wondering if he was going to continue but the July solicitations show us that Pat Olliffe and Tom Palmer are doing the art for No. 14. So some fans were wondering if this was going to continue; a different artist for each issue. And that sometimes means the series is in trouble.

My Love Affair with Bryan Hitch's Hawkman
We found out today that Bryan Hitch's run on the current Hawkman series will end with issue No. 12. I've known this for a while, but the official news made me reflect on the amazing run that Bryan has had with Hawkman. My love affair with Bryan's Hawkman began on December 29, 2017. That was the day Hawkman Found was released. I'll never forget it. I really didn't know what to expect but I was stunned. It was absolutely the most beautiful Hawkman comic I had ever seen. I had never seen the wings drawn that way and in such detail. The expressions of Carter Hall. Those Manhawks. The issue was a masterpiece and I couldn't get enough of it. I wanted more. And then about two and a half months later, my wish became reality.

Board Review of Hawkman No. 10: "London Falling"
It's a good thing February was a short month. The pressure in the current Hawkman story by Robert Venditti and Bryan Hitch has been building up steam ever since the first issue and at the end of No. 9, you could start to hear that ear-piercing whistle starting to blow. Well, the lid just blew off in issue No. 10.

Dear Warner Brothers, Soaringly from a Hawkfan
An Open Message to Warner Bros Pictures,
By Tim Board
Before you start making a Hawkman movie, I thought I should let you know what a Hawkfan thinks Hawkman should be. Sorry if I'm wrong. But I keep thinking that you're gonna make Hawkman/Carter Hall a stalking, creepy, rage monster who doesn't have enough sense than to go charging at Superman-level foes and getting swatted away. You want Hawkman to be a success? Then do this:

Also, Matthew Joseph at the WeGotThisCovered website reported that his has sources confirming that Warner Brothers is planning a Hawkman/Hawkgirl movie. No actors have been announced and there are no other details except that they are looking for a Muslim (???) actor to play the part. LINK
Let's keep our ears open for more news and let's also hope that Black Adam doesn't bomb. There was a Hawkman movie in the works back in 2011, but the Green Lantern movie (2011) killed all plans for that. Let's hope the plans will finally happen this time!
