If you read the actual stories, you'll discover that some of the "history" is flimsy at best, and contrived mostly after the fact.<br /><br />The biggest problem with Hawkman is that they rolled out Hawkworld way too late after Crisis and because it was so good, they refused to acknowledge it wasn't anything but canon. They could have post-dated it or whatever, but they didn't. <br /><br />I think in some ways Geoff Johns was fighting with the Hawkman issue for many years and almost fixed Hawkman himself, until DC Editorial wanted Katar instead, and published complete crap that contradicted his work. DC loves to "explain" things and publish whole series just to fix their stupid continuity, instead of just tell good stories. I'll never, ever understand this mentality.Falcon760https://www.blogger.com/profile/18209153417085652045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863881940564003649.post-1640074268807800232021-03-24T16:44:14.761+09:002021-03-24T16:44:14.761+09:00Thank you so much!

Hawkman has been blessed with many great stories by some of the greatest writers and artists. He's a great character that everyone can enjoy!

I especially like your theory ...Great article, Tim! I especially like your theory for reconciling Savage Hawkman and Volume 5!<br /><br />I too try to take a "enjoy the story as its told" mentality with my comics. Intellectually I know the circuitous history of the character, but the creators on any given issue are trying to tell a fin/exciting/entertaining story, so that's how I try to approach as a reader! Sometimes you have to put on your Critic Hat, but most of the time I'm reading comics for fun, so set yourself up to enjoy the experience!Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352646370918575626noreply@blogger.com
