Random thoughts of a Hawkman fan #251031

When you think about it, Hawkman is a terrifying presence. A 6'6 man wearing a hawk mask, huge wings, a harness across a bare chest, and a huge mace with blood stains. It's Michael Myers, Jeepers Creepers, and Silent Hill's Pyramid Head rolled in one.

DC Comics 2026 January Solicitations (Hawkman and Hawkgirl)

Here are the two books that I could find that have Hawkman and Hawkgirl in some form. No series for either was announced. Hawkman appears to be out of the DC K.O. thing so that's that. Slim pickins this month. 

Hawk Appearances in Comics Released 2025-10-22

 

Hawkman and Hawkgirl made a few unexpected appearances in the comics released on October 22, 2025 so here is a quick rundown!

Gold Hawk of Andrino! Remember him?

Justice League Unlimited No. 12 / Hawkman Vol. V No. 4

Great Gentleman's Ghost! This was an unexpected surprise! I was watching the Comic Boom video where they go over all the releases each week. With all this DC K.O. tie-in stuff going on, I've been on the lookout for any news about the Hawkman vs. Conner Hawke matchup and I was rather surprised at what turned up this week!

  The 86th anniversary of Hawkman's first appearance is coming up on November 20th! Since I started Hawkworld back in 2016, we have celebrated November 20th as Hawkman Day. Flash Comics No. 1, which featured Hawkman's first appearance, was officially released on November 20, 1939. 

Hawkman Refused to be a Dictator. Twice.

World's Finest Comics No. 278 (April 1982)

  Hawkman got tossed into a political discussion earlier this month when Absolute Evil No. 1 came out. The issue showed him as a traitor to his fellow heroes and Americans, and then as the murderer of Green Arrow and a full-blown villain assisting the other villains of that universe. Even though the precious DC Trinity are still basically themselves, just under different circumstances, DC completely destroyed the Hawkman of the Absolute universe and made him a despicable character who will probably meet his end badly.

 There's a site called comicbook.com which puts out pretty good articles at times about comics and anything related. I'm sure anyone who reads up on comics news has gone to the site many times. Another article involving Hawkman popped up today so I thought I'd share it because I'm thoroughly confused by what the intent was. 

The article is titled "10 Most Important DC Characters Who Aren’t Superman, Batman Or Wonder Woman" and sure enough, Hawkman comes in on the list at No. 10.  "Oh, cool!," I thought. Nice to get some recognition! But then I started reading.
