DC Comics Solicitations January 2027 for Hawkman and Hawkgirl

 

DC Comics solicitations for January 2027 have been released. Not much to report. There were zero mentions of anything Hawkworld-related. Just one compact collection with Hawkgirl in the background. But it doesn't come out until June. So nothing for January.
I heard there was something about Thanagar in a Green Lantern series, but the solicitations had no art or mentions. 
If you're looking for Hawkman and Hawkgirl stories, check out the complete list of Hawkan and Hawkgirl trades and collections.
Here are the details for the compact collection.

Justice League: Heroes United: DC Compact Comics Adventures 
Release date: June 27, 2027. 

That's it for January!

Hawkman by Rags Morales (Inks by Michael Bair)

When you list the greatest Hawkman and Hawkgirl artists of all time, there is one name that no one can leave off the list: Rags Morales. For over 25 years, Morales has created many pieces of amazing art, and his Hawkman and Hawkgirl are instantly recognizable. One of my goals as a Hawkman fan was to own a Hawkman piece by Rags Morales, and I was able to acquire the piece posted above a few years ago. I've collected Morales' Hawk art posted on the Internet over the years, and I tried to gather it all together and list it here. Enjoy the amazing art and check out Morales' media sites as well!

Bird's Eye View

   Kendra Saunders (Hawkgirl) has resettled in Metropolis and is fighting alongside the Justice League. During a battle against some cute gas-fireball villains, she meets Galaxy, an "alien princess" who is "kind of a hero." Galaxy is able to sense energy and sees that the Nth metal is "energy that decided to be metal, like a cold sun," and it is infused into Kendra's body.
   After defeating the villains, Kendra meets up with an old college friend. Through this meeting, it is revealed that Kendra was quite the activist during her college days. Her college friend, who is gay, apparently has a crush on Kendra, but Kendra turns her down.
   Later on, Kendra contacts Batman to get some information about Galaxy. She finds out that Galaxy calls herself Taylor Barselay and is from the planet Cyandii. She has the power to manipulate energies like heat, light, and gravity. This also seems to give her the power to sense Kendra's Nth metal.  

   Meanwhile, a mysterious woman named Vulpecula is trying to return to a place called the Nth World. In order to do so, she needs the energy of the Nth metal, and she tries an experiment with a girl she has captured. It is enough to open up a tiny portal but not big enough for her to get through and return home. When she triggers her device, the connection to the Nth metal sends a shockwave through Kendra's body. Kendra falls unconscious and somehow crashes through the window of Galaxy's apartment.

Bird's Eye View

    The villains of Earth start seeing the same nightmare: the world being destroyed in a nuclear holocaust despite the Justice League's efforts to save it. They band together and begin their plans to save the Earth in their own way. They begin by attacking each of the members and discrediting them in the eyes of the public. The Justice League is caught off guard and completely knocked back on their heels. Many of them are captured, shot, attacked, and injured. By helping each other, they begin to figure out what is going on and slowly start to regroup.

On this day is Hawkworld History!
October 5, 2016

Death of Hawkman No. 1 is released. 
A few months before this issue came out, the series was titled "Out of Time," but right before it was released, the name was changed to "Death of Hawkman." Oh, great. They are killing Hawkman. Again. (snore) This series brought the end to the story of the Savage Hawkman who had been around since 2011. Soon after this series ended, the current Hawkman, Hawkgirl, and Hawkwoman appeared on the scene, and they have been around more or less ever since. 

Hawkworld Viewership Growing!

Almost half a million views in September! That's 450,000 views, to be exact. That blows my mind! Many thanks to everyone who continues to visit and support Hawkworld! There is a contact box at the bottom of the left column, so if you have any requests, suggestions, or something that could be displayed better, please feel free to let me know!

Celebrating Joe Kubert's Life and Art (September 18, 1926-August 12, 2012)

September 18, 2026. Today would have been Joe Kubert's 100th birthday. Many tributes and articles have honored his work and legacy over the years, and I feel inadequate to add to that. The best thing I can say is that Kubert's Hawkman and Hawkgirl have given me years of joy and dreams. His Hawkman first gave me wings 50 years ago, when I was a boy, and I haven't touched ground since. The best tribute I can give is to share all of the art of Hawkman and Hawkgirl that I have come across over the years. I hope you enjoy it as much as I always do. Click the picture above to go to the Joe Kubert gallery.

BIRD'S EYE VIEW

   Flash (Jay Garrick) traveled back to ancient Egypt and was told that Hawkman is returning. Meanwhile, JSA member Hawkgirl (Kendra Saunders) had been remembering things from a past that wasn't hers. The angel Zauriel shocked her by revealing to her that the spirit of Shiera Saunders now dwelled within her. Shortly after, she was transported to Thanagar. The priests of Thanagar brought her there to help them bring Hawkman back from the realm he was banished to so many years ago (Hawkman Vol. 3 No. 32). When she reached into the Well of Spirits, Hawkman (Carter Hall) was able to find his way back home.

Superhero Silhouettes By Steve Garcia

   Over the years, I've come across Steve Garcia's silhouette art of the superheroes many times. Each hero's silhouette is in a certain color, and another smaller image is in white. These were all fun to look at, but what caught my attention was the theme that the artist gave each character. 

Hawkworld's DC Finest Update!

    It's time for another update on the DC Finest books that include stories with Hawkman and Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman! If you haven't been collecting these books, you are really missing out! They are beautifully put together, easy to read, and fun to collect. Since my last update almost a year ago, DC has announced the next releases. Sadly, there isn't a second Hawkman book yet. I was really hoping that they would put together The Shadow War of Hawkman/Hawkman Vol. 2, because that run has never been in any collection in any form. It's a shame because it is one of the greatest runs in Hawk history. But I guess we'll have to continue our wait on that one. 

In the meantime, DC has announced books to be released up through June 2027. A few books have issues with Hawkman or Hawkgirl, so if you're a completist like me, you'll want to get these! Also, you can catch up on the other books already listed HERE. Happy Hawk-hunting!

Hawkworld Discussions: Does Nth Metal work the same for everybody?

This Week's Discussion: Over the years, we've seen DC Comics' Nth Metal give Hawkman and Hawkgirl various powers.

Does the power of the Nth Metal vary with who is wearing it?
How much of the individual's will is involved?
Does the power increase with how much they are wearing?
Can Hawkman and Hawkgirl absorb the nth metal into their bodies? 

Collection of Nth Metal info HERE

I'll post the best replies from the various Hawkworld communities below!

   DC Comics released the solicitations for November 2026 on Friday. Hawkman appears on two covers, but he is not listed as a character in either comic. Hawkgirl and Hawkwoman don't appear in the solicitations. The wait continues.

Tier List Ranking System for Hawkman/Hawkgirl Comics Reviews

 Hawkworld will be starting a new comic review for Hawkman and Hawkgirl comics! And what's a review without a good tier system to rate the comics? I made a new tier-list ranking system worthy of Hawkworld comics to add at the end of every review, so look for the reviews and the rating I give each comic going forward! There's no better place to begin than at the start, so I'll be posting a review of Hawkman's debut story in Flash Comics No. 1 (January 1940). Feel free to post your agreements, disagreements, and opinions in the comments! 

Hawkman/Hawkgirl Comic Tier List 2026

 

Here's my updated Tier List for Hawkman/Hawkgirl comics. The top five series are absolutely essential for comics fans. The stories and the art are top-notch. The best of the best. The A-ranked series are also very good, and I definitely recommend them. The art in every series is the best out there, but the writing suffers a bit for various reasons. I may have had Vol. 4 up in the S-rank back in the day, but it hasn't aged well. The art remains the best, though.
