Black Adam Review (Immediate Reaction Podcast)

Black Adam was finally released in Japan on December 2. I watched it four times on opening day. After I got home, I made a podcast of the process I went through to get here and my initial thoughts on the movie. A bit rambling maybe, but just a Hawkman talking straight about Hawkman's first appearance on the movie screen. LINK

A Map to the Hawk Universe

For Hawkman Day 2022, I decided to make a map of Hawkman's history in the style of Grant Morrison's amazing Map of the Multiverse that came out in 2014. My Hawkmap is nothing as grand and deep as Morrison's, but I wanted to make something that showed Hawkman's history and important information all on one page. Here are the details of the map.

There is a YouTube channel called All Powers Explained. The video listing all of Hawkman's powers, abilities, and weapons from Black Adam was posted about a year ago. Pretty good collection! Too bad we won't be seeing it again.

The Hawks Set to Return in a New Justice Society Series

After years of teases, cameos, and even a canceled Geoff Johns/Bryan Hitch project, it appears that the Justice Society is finally returning. DC Comics announced the solicitations for November 2022 and the JSA was in the lineup. There will be a one-shot issue released on November 8. Details below the cover art!

And then two weeks later, a regular series by Geoff Johns kicks off.

The JSA returns in this monthly series by writer Geoff Johns and artist Mikel Janín with "Justice Society of America: The New Golden Age Part One"! The world's first and greatest superheroes return! Or do they? A long-lost hero from the JSA crashes into our era with a grave warning… but it's too late. A mysterious and malevolent enemy has invaded the entire history of the JSA, and an all-new team must come together to defeat it. But what deadly secret does this messenger from beyond keep? Where are they from? And why is all of this happening now? Only the Time Masters know…

 It's been a long wait, but it appears that the JSA is finally coming back. Let's keep our fingers crossed for no cancelations or changes of plans. Let's hope Jim Lee can resist changing the series' name to Batman and the Justice Society before it comes out! Here are some more articles from other sites:

Review of Black Adam The Justice Society Files: Hawkman No. 1

Script: Cavan Scott
Pencils: Scot Eaton
Inks: Norm Rapmund
Colors: Andrew Dalhouse
Letters: Rob Leigh
Cover: Haare Andrews
Editor: Katie Kubert

   I had no idea what to expect for this issue, and it's supposed to be a lead-in to the movie, so I approached it as a completely elseworld story. This Hawkman looked almost nothing like the Hawkmen we've had in the past, so I expected a lot of changes. However, Cavan Scott has written Hawkman and Hawkwoman before, and he has been "loyal" to the basic idea of Hawkman. He picked up very nicely (DC Love is a Battlefield, 2021) where Robert Venditti left off so I wasn't TOO worried.

A Guide Through the History of Hawkman and Hawkwoman/Hawkgirl

   Thanks for coming over to my guide to the Hawks. I originally had everything posted here, but the article became so massive that I decided to move it over to the contents page. This has been a project that has taken me several years and I may never be finished. I've written similar articles about the history of Hawkman and Hawkgirl, but I wanted to put it all together so that fans old and new can easily find the answers they have when reading the Hawks. It has been a fun, fascinating endeavor, and I continue to learn more about my favorite superhero every day. I have moved the articles over to my main contents page, so click the link below to read up on each era of the Hawks. Thanks for checking it out, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Article Link

Black Reign (JSA/Hawkman 2004)

 In 2004, Geoff Johns wrote a six-issue story that crossover over in the JSA and Hawkman series. It told the story of how Black Adam took over Khandaq and how the Justice Society went to stop him. It was one of the highlights of both series. The upcoming Black Adam movie (July 2022) will probably take its main storyline from this series. It's a fantastic story that is well worth picking up. You can find the collection of the six issues in the JSA #8 trade paperback. Another official Black Reign trade is scheduled to come out in June. Definitely worth picking up!
