Happy anniversary to all the Hawkworld followers and members across the world! It's been seven years since Hawkworld took off! What started as a step into the unknown has turned into something that became bigger and wider than I ever could have imagined when I started. It has challenged me to learn more about the hero I've always loved and followed, and there have been several surprises along the way. These are in no particular order, just writing as I remember. 

Looking Ahead to Hawkworld's 2023 and A Look Back at 2022

As the Year of Black Adam (featuring Hawkman and the Justice Society) comes to a close, and we soar into 2023, let's take a look at the current situation, what lies ahead, and then a look back.

I started the Hawkworld blog almost five years ago. The site hit a quarter of a million views today. It may not be so many compared to other sites, but it's been fun building a site that can help fans discover and understand their history. Soaring on!

The History of the Live-Action Hawkman and Hawkgirl.

By Tim Board (Hawkworld Facebook and Hawkworld Twitter) Updated!

Thirty-nine years ago, on January 19 and 26, 1979, NBC broadcast "Legends of the Superheroes", a two-part special with several DC heroes and villains. This was also the show that gave us our first live-action Hawkman. Do you know how many men and women have played Hawkman and Hawkgirl over the years? While live-action Batman actors are almost too numerous to count, the number who have played the Winged Wonders on silver or small screens have been few and far between. Let's take a look at the actors who have played the Hawks over the years.

A Guide Through the History of Hawkman and Hawkwoman/Hawkgirl (Part 3 is up!)

Cliff Chiang

Hawkman and Hawkgirl are two of the most iconic characters in American comics history. In the 80+ years since their first appearances, there have been almost 600 comics that featured one or both heroes. They have also been a part of many superhero teams and numerous crisis/crossover events that DC Comics has specialized in over the last few decades. They have been through many reboots, rewrites, and restarts. For a new comic book reader, it's natural not to know where to start with a character that has been around for 80+ years. That's where I come in. I have been a Hawk fan since 1977 when I discovered Hawkman on the back of an out-of-date 1976 DC Calendar. I have followed the twists, turns, flips, and flops over the years to keep it in order. This article is to help you see the amazing journey that these two characters have been on. I'll post a link to the list of comic books that they have a prominent role in, so if you want to look for something and the dates, you'll probably find it there. Enjoy the journey!

Hawkman Review 2021: A Year of Cameos, Flashbacks, Teases, Deaths, and Waiting

 The Year 2021 was a typical between-series year for Hawkman; cameos, flashbacks, unfulfilled teases, panel fillers, several deaths, and solicitations that delivered nothing. Hawkgirl had a bit more this year in the Justice League series, but Hawkwoman made only one appearance. Hawkman also made appearances in two DC animated films but both were massive disappointments. Below is a summary of all the appearances the Hawks made this year. 

Hawkgirl Statue: New Addition to My Hawkworld Collection!

DC Direct 2002 Hawkgirl 9" Statue Maquette 

Just added the Hawkgirl statue from the Justice League animated series that came out in 2002. It's a pretty nice porcelain statue. My only wish is that she was holding her mace, but it's still pretty nice! Found it on the Mercari site.

Discovering Nth Metal by Tim Board

Thoughts on the Nth Metal!

We've always heard about the Nth Metal and how it gives Hawkman the power to fly. But how fast? How does he control it? What other abilities does it give him? These sorts of questions are always bugging me so I've been digging around. Here is a list of all the abilities that Nth metal has shown over the years. I will continue to add to the list as other abilities show. When I add some new information and repost the article to the top of the blog.
