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. 15: "Darkness Within: Shades of Former Selves"

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
Photo by courtesy of Terri 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.
