Hawk Alerts for November 26, 2025!

The DC releases for November 26 are out and I'm getting news that the Hawks are in a few comics so here's a heads up for all the Hawkfans! 

Four Hawkman vs Superman Battles

  

 Hawkman vs. Superman. These two have been teammates and friends since the Golden Age of comics, but there have been a few times when they have gone up against each other. DC Comics solicitations for February 2026 revealed that they would be going up against each other yet again in Absolute Superman No. 16. The cover by Rafa Sandoval has goteen a lot of attention in the last few days so I thought I would look back on a few occassions when Hawkman and Superman went up against each other. 

    On paper, Hawkman doesn't stand a chance. Superman is one of the most powerful superheroes in DC Comics. I'm a Hawkman fan but even I will admit that Superman way above Hawkman's level in strength and power. However, there have been a couple times when Hawkman got the upperhand.  Let's take a look back at the times the two iconic heroes have gone head to head. 

Absolute Universe's Hawkman Vs. Superman

 

    DC Comics' solicitations came out this weekend and we found out that the Absolute Hawkman will be going up against the Absolute Superman in Absolute Superman No. 16 (release date Feb. 4). Here's what it says. 

Beginner's Guide to Hawkworld!

   We get many visitors to the blog every day, and I'm sure many of the visitors are wanting to find out about Hawkman and Hawkgirl. Unfortunately, almost every article about them thinks that it is necessary to mention  their "confusing, complicated, convoluted" history, so it might seem a but daunting. I've started a Beginner's Guide for all visitors who are new to Hawkman and Hawkgirl and want to know more about them, but they are not sure where to go. 

Click the logo at the top right of the blog page and it will give all of the basics of the current Hawks, where they are, who they are with, which comics to find them in, and more. And you can also check the complete list of comics that they have been in over the years, all the trades with the contents listed, and an extensive guide to their history. 

I also added the list of Hawkman creators, artists, and other leaders in the comics, TV, and movie business who follow and/or support Hawkworld, so you can check that out as well! 

Happy Hawk Hunting!

Hawkman: Decades Old, Forever Young

   Celebrating Hawkman Day has been a tradition at Hawkworld for a decade now. This month we are celebrating the 86 years of Hawkman, and in January we are also celebrating the 10th annniversary of our Hawkman/Hawkgirl group called Hawkworld. Our Hawkman Day celebration has gradually become recognized, and it has even been mentioned in The Forgotten All-Star: A Biography of Gardner Fox by Jennifer DeRoss. 

   Hawkman first appeared in Flash Comics No. 1. The cover date is January 1940, but the release was in November 1939. There is some debate about the exact day when the comic was released. The house ad from 1939 says "About Nov. 10th," but the Grand Comics Database says the following; "The on-sale date of November 20, 1939 is the publication date reported in filings with the U. S. Copyright Office. However, a house ad in Action Comics #19 states the issue was to be on sale on November 10." So either date works. At Hawkworld, we've settled on November 20th.

The Complete History of Hawkman 

Nine Random Thoughts of a Hawkfan #20251117

*Hawkman is a warrior who has reincarnated on Earth and many other planets across time and space. If he learned one fighting technique in each life on all those planets, and if he only remembered only half of them, that would still make him one of, if not the most skilled hand-to-hand combat fighter in the world.

Board Review of JSA #13

The Ragnarok story was finally completed and from this issue, we are jumping back to the 1940s and the beginning of the Justice Society. Hawkman/Carter Hall was a charter member but from the looks of it, Hawkgirl/Shiera Saunders-Hall will be fully involved as well. 

Spoilers ahead so if you haven't read the issue yet, please go check it out first! 

DC Finest Hawkman Giveaway Contest!

 

  The 86th anniversary of Hawkman's first appearance is coming up on November 20th! Since I started Hawkworld back in 2016, we have celebrated November 20th as Hawkman Day. Flash Comics No. 1, which featured Hawkman's first appearance, was officially released on November 20, 1939. 

One Hundred Copies of Hawkman Vol. 1 Sold on eBay?!

Seven Hells! There was a comic collector who sells comics on ebay named chillcomics1. Out of the blue, he put out over a hundred copies of Hawkman Vol. 1 No. 1! A buyer picked up the entire selection for $6000 last Sunday. The grades of the books were fair to low, so he would have to sell each copy for about $50 dollar each to come out even. The buyer might start selling them on ebay so if there are any Hawkfans looking for a Hawkman Vol. 1 No. 1, this might be your chance! 

But...who collects Hawkman Vol. 1 No. 1? I want to meet this person. This was the Hawkman comic that was on the spin rack when I was born in April 1964, so I would actually consider it if I weren't trying to put two kids through college at the moment. But this is an amazing collection for any issue of any hero. 

Hawkfans Across the World!

 

Hawkworld did this a few years ago, but with Hawkworld's 10th anniversary coming up in January, I thought it would be fun to see again where all the Hawkfans are across the world. If you're a fan of Hawkman and Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman, let us know what country you're from and I'll fill in the world map and release it our anniversary on January 15! We might be surprised to find out where the Hawkfans are!

Hawkman/Hawkwoman/Hawkgirl Updates (November 2025)

         Hawkman               Hawkwoman             Hawkgirl

Over the last few weeks, I've read some articles and seen videos about the Hawks, and many of them have mentioned that they don't know what is going on with Hawkman, Hawkwoman, and Hawkgirl at the moment. Admittedly, it has been five years since Hawkman's last series ended, Hawkgirl's mini-series from 2023 has been completely irrelevant, and sightings of Hawkwoman have been extremely rare. So, here's an update to where they are and what they are doing at the moment. 

First, I have written the Hawks' history in seven chapters, and you can read up on the current versions and where they came from here.

Random thoughts of a Hawkman fan #251031

When you think about it, Hawkman is a terrifying presence. A 6'6 man wearing a hawk mask, huge wings, a harness across a bare chest, and a huge mace with blood stains. It's Michael Myers, Jeepers Creepers, and Silent Hill's Pyramid Head rolled in one.

List of Hawkman/Hawkgirl Creators with Links

 Since we started Hawkworld in 2016, Hawkworld has had the blessing of many Hawkman and Hawkgirl writers, artists, editors, and many others who have been with giving us amazing Hawk stories and art over the years.
