 It's been exactly 10 months since we got a Hawkman story where he is not a cameo, flashback, or panel filler. They announced the issue in the September solicitations, but there has been very little talk about the issue since, and since Hawkman is not even listed on the contents page, most fans will probably miss this one. It's the sixth story of eight in the issue and told over ten pages, which is actually two more than we got back in February's "DC Love is a Battlefield." 

Hawkman by Alex Ross

 Over the years, Alex Ross has given us some truly magnificent works of Hawkman. Although his work is out of my price range, I was fortunate to get a signed print of the cover of Justice No. 7. Here are the pieces that Ross has given us over the years. Here are the links to Alex Ross' websites: Official Website / Twitter / Facebook / Instagram

Collecting Hawkman Comics! What to do?!

 
It's been a year since the last Hawkman series ended! What's a Hawkfan to do when Comic Book Day has nothing to offer? The answer is Back Issues! Collecting all of the series, mini-series, one-shots, guest appearances, and backup features is always fun. 

I keep track of everything I have with CLZ. It's a great site to keep track of what you have so check it out.

I often go to MyComicShop.com to look for what I'm missing. You can also tell them what you are looking for and they will email you when it comes in so it's pretty handy. 

Savage Hawkman and Earth 2 Hawkgirl

 

Savage Hawkman by Joe Bennett and Earth 2 Hawkgirl by Nicola Scott. I thought I would try and put these two amazing characters together in one picture. They were active during the same time, but were never featured together. They were in the same story called The New 52 Future Eye but they were in different story lines. I wish they could have been in an adventure together. Another missed opportunity by DC Comics.

Introducing My Hawkman Collection in Japanese

 I don't often post stuff on YouTube, but I made a short video introducing my Hawkman collection in Japanese. Hawkman is not very well known in Japan, but that may all change after next year's Black Adam. 

Special Announcement Coming Up for Hawkman Day 2021!

Hawkman's 82nd anniversary is coming up in November! I've got something really cool to announce on October 20th! No, not a new Hawkman series. Not that cool but still pretty darn cool! Stay tuned.

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.
