 The solicitations for DC Comics' July 2025 were released. Hawkman and Hawkgirl show up in four releases. One new issue and three trades. 

Review of Green Lantern Corps No. 3 (Hawkwoman!)

    

   Green Lantern Corps No. 3 came out on April 9 and Holy Horus. I wasn't expecting something like this to happen out of nowhere in a non-Hawkman book, but seeing how things how gone in DC Comics lately, I wasn't all that surprised. Short-term gain, long term chaos seems to be the road map for DC now. This review of GLC No. 3 will be full of spoilers, so go read the first three issues of the series before you scroll down. By the seven hells, you've been warned.

DC Comics Solicitations June 2025

Art by Scott Knoblish

   DC Comics June 2025 solicitations are out! Hawkman and Hawkgirl continue their run in the JSA series, but there is no mention or sighting of Hawkwoman in the Green Lantern Corps this month. There is a new series by Mark Waid called The New History of the DC Universe. It appears to be the history or DC through the eyes of Barry Allan, at least the first issue is. Not expecting much from this, but we'll see what happens. Here are the details for the three comics, including Green Lantern Corps. 

DC Has Their Own Wolverine (And It’s Not Who You Think) - ComicBook.com

Art by Bryan Hitch

 

   Since he hit the mainstream 25 years ago, Wolverine has often been compared to Hawkman. There are similarities and this article by David Harth does a pretty good job of describing the two heroes and how they match up. Personally, I think Hawkman could be a combination of several Marvel characters, Wolverine (healing, fighting), Thor (hammer- mace), Archangel (wings), and maybe even Moira MacTaggert (reincarnation). Take a look at the article and see what you think of the comparisons! LINK

There really doesn’t seem to be any character who fits the Wolverine mold, but actually DC has had their own Wolverine for much longer than Wolverine has existed — the leader of the Golden Age Justice Society of America known as Hawkman.

Hawkman first appeared in Flash Comics #1 from 1940, his hawk mask, giant wings, and morningstar mace setting him apart from the other early heroes of DC. Looking at Hawkman’s history, there are many, many parallels between him and Wolverine. Hawkman is one of the most complex characters in comics, much like Wolverine, and just needs to find the right portrayal to reach the heights of Marvel’s ol’Canucklehead.

Who's wealthier: Hawkman or Batman?

 

   Who's wealthier: Hawkman or Batman? This is not a debate I've seen very often but it makes a whole lot of sense. Yes, Batman's superpower is that he is rich (so he says), but when you think about it, Hawkman could very well be much, much wealthier than the almighty Batman. 

DC Comics Solicitations May 2025

JSA #7

    DC Comics' solicitations are out! None of the Hawks are mentioned in the solicitations in anyway this month, but there are two series where they MIGHT show up. There is also a tiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnyyyyy Hawkman on a Superman variant cover so I'll list that as well. Sadly. still no news or rumors of a Hawkman series yet. Keep soaring! 

P.S. I've started a Hawkworld community on Reddit, so come on over!

Hawkman Story in DC's Lex and the City

From DC's Lex and the City (March 2025)

   We got a bit of a surprise last week when Hawkman unexpectedly appeared in a story in the issue titled DC's Lex and the City.  The book is a collection of eight anthology stories and Hawkman's story is the last story in the book. Below is a spoiler-rich review of the story, so if you haven't read it yet, go check it out!

JSA No. 6

Green Lantern Corps No. 3

   In the current Green Lantern Corps series, Hawkwoman will be making an appearance in March. She will be fighting alongside John Stewart and some of the other Green Lanterns to save Thanagar. First, here are some comments that Jeremy Adams made about Hawkwoman in a recent interview (from Newsorama):

DC Comics Solicitations April 2025

   The DC Comics solicitations for April 2025 are out! The big surprise is that there are, not one, but two comics with Hawkwoman on the cover! After being missing in action for so long, it's nice to see her making something of a comeback. In JSA No. 6, there's the ominous note that one JSA member will not make it out of the Tower of Fate alive. (Better not be Hawkman...)

Predictions for Hawkworld 2025

Predictions and Hopes for Hawkworld 2025

   It's been a slow few years for Hawkman and Hawkwoman. Ever since the end of the Hawkman series in 2021 and Justice League in 2022, it's been a long run of cameos, cover art appearances, and a few sudden appearances here and there with a line or two at best. Hawkgirl has had it a bit better, with her continued appearances with the Justice League, and the announcement of her role in the upcoming Superman movie. We'll ignore that disastrous Hawkgirl mini-series and just move on like it never happened. 

   So what will we see for the Hawks in 2025? Here are a few bold predictions for 2025. 

Debunking a Hawkgirl Article

   Screen Rant came out with an article today titled "DC Flips the Script on Hawkman and Hawkgirl's Dynamic." Here is the link to the article. I have some things to say about the article.

JSA #3 Review

JSA No. 3 ( March 2025) 
Release Date: January 1, 2025 
Script: Jeff Lemire

Pencils\Inks: Diego Olortegui 
Colors: Luis Guerrero 
Cover: Cully Hamner
Editing: Andrew Marino, Katie Kubert 

   JSA No. 2 ended with Hawkman being apparently killed by a demon. With the reincarnation cycle finally ended (Hawkman Vol. V No. 26), this is truly the end of Hawkman or he finds a way out. There are major spoilers ahead so go read the issue first before you read the rest of my review! 

Review of Hawkworld 2024

   

   The Year 2024 was another year of waiting, searching, and being disappointed that ended with a bit more to look forward to in 2025. In comics, Hawkman and Hawkgirl appear to be back as regular members of the JSA series, unlike the disastrous, horribly delayed Justice Society series by Geoff Johns that ended mercifully in October. In the movies, Hawkgirl was in and out of the news thanks to the upcoming Superman Legacy film. Here are the highlights of Hawkworld 2024.

Preview of JSA No. 3

 JSA No. 3 is coming out on January 1, but AIPT comics site posted a preview of the issue. If you read the last issue, Hawkman had a demonic sword thrust thru his chest. Is he dead? Hard to imagine how he'll get out of this one. And remember, the reincarnation cycle has been completed so if he dies, that's the end. No more reincarnation.

The Artists of Hawkman and Hawkgirl

   I put together two montages of many of the artists who have done Hawkman and Hawkgirl over the years. Hawkman and Hawkgirl are characters who have been blessed with some of the greatest artists in comics. I'll list the full names of the artists below. If there is someone you think I should add next time, feel free to let me know in the comments! 

DC Comics Solicitations 2025 March

 The solicitations for DC Comics March 2025 are out. There are some Hawkman, Hawkgirl and Hawkwoman news so check out the issues below! 

JSA No. 5 (Released date March 5) Note: Good news! Hawkman (Hawkgirl also) is on the cover so he may be alive. (With covers you never know.)

The JSA have a lead on a KOBRA facility preparing for their next terrorist attack. But which faction of the team will make it to the facility first, and what will it mean for the future of the world’s first super-team?!

Petition for The Shadow War of Hawkman and Hawkman Vol. 2

    Way back in 1968, Hawkman's first solo run ended and he was teamed up with the Atom in the retitled Atom series, but The Atom and Hawkman lasted only 7 issues before being canceled. It began a long period where you would have to go to the Justice League of America series, backup features in Detective Comics, or stories in the World's Finest Comics to find the Hawks. Despite being almost a first-tier or strong second-tier hero in DC Comics during this time, Hawkman was without his own series for a very long time.
