JSA No. 3 is coming out on January 1, but AIPT comics site posted a preview of the issue. If you read the last issue, Hawkman had a demonic sword thrust thru his chest. Is he dead? Hard to imagine how he'll get out of this one. And remember, the reincarnation cycle has been completed so if he dies, that's the end. No more reincarnation. Click the link below to check out the preview!
I put together two montages of many of the artists who have done Hawkman and Hawkgirl over the years. Hawkman and Hawkgirl are characters who have been blessed with some of the greatest artists in comics. I'll list the full names of the artists below. If there is someone you think I should add next time, feel free to let me know in the comments!

The JSA have a lead on a KOBRA facility preparing for their next terrorist attack. But which faction of the team will make it to the facility first, and what will it mean for the future of the world’s first super-team?!
Way back in 1968, Hawkman's first solo run ended and he was teamed up with the Atom in the retitled Atom series, but The Atom and Hawkman lasted only 7 issues before being canceled. It began a long period where you would have to go to the Justice League of America series, backup features in Detective Comics, or stories in the World's Finest Comics to find the Hawks. Despite being almost a first-tier or strong second-tier hero in DC Comics during this time, Hawkman was without his own series for a very long time.

JSA No. 2 (February 2025)
Script: Jeff Lemire
Pencils/Inks: Diego Olortegui
Colors: Luis Guerrero
Letters: Steve Wands
Cover: Diego Olortegui
Editing: Andrew Marino, Marquis Draper, Katie Kubert
The new JSA series kicked off with a bang in issue No. 1. Writer Jeff Lemire didn't waste any time getting the action going and in this issue, we get a flashback of how our heroes ended up being attacked by the Injustice Society in separate locations. The Injustice Society is pretty ruthless here and the JSA clearly have their backs up against a wall. It's nice to see Hawkman villains Gentleman Ghost and Shadow Thief showing their stuff. Hawkman (Carter Hall) and Hawkgirl (Kendra Saunders) are outside the Tower of Fate and holding back the army from Hell but they are clearly overwhelmed. The issue ends with Jay Garrick smashed by Solomon Grundy, Jakeem still a coma, and finally Hawkman apparently impaled through the chest with a demon's flaming sword.
Bluesky has been around since 2019. Hawkworld received an invitation for it back in 2021. It was a bit slow at first, but it has really taken off during the last month. Hawkworld is there and trying to post daily. Also, there is a TON of comic book creators jumping on to Bluesky as well! So if you are interested in a rapidly growing social media site and want some Hawk-content, come give Hawkworld a follow and come soar the friendly skies!

Jeff Lemire's series has finally kicked off and to be honest, it's a bit of a disappointment, from a Hawkfan's perspective of course. It appears that the Infinity INC and the Justice Society are together now and the younger heroes are trying to figure out why the veteran heroes suddenly vanished and where they went. While they squabble over how things should be done, it's revealed that the older members are in the Tower of Fate. Alan Scott, Jay Garrick, Wildcat, and Dr. Fate are trying to find a way out while Hawkman and Hawkgirl are outside fighting off the "locals." At the end of the issue, we find out that the Injustice Society may be behind it.

Hawkman featured in JSA No. 3 (Release Date January 1, 2025)
It appears that Hawkman will be featured in JSA No. 3. Here are the solicitations notes from First Comics News.
After sacrificing his reincarnation for one last life with the woman he loves, Hell is the last place Hawkman wants to be right now! With his allies at the Tower of Fate under siege by the Injustice Society, can he escape Wotan’s clutches—or is his goose truly cooked?
It still concerns me why Kendra is being paired with Carter instead of Shayera. I thought we were finally done with the whole Carter-Kendra flip-flop soap opera with the horrible Hawkgirl series. The notes seem to indicate that they are going with where Venditti's series left off, but why isn't it Shayera? I guess we'll have to wait and find out. Writer Jeff Lemire is one of the best so I have faith that he will prove me wrong and bring in Shayera. Time will tell.
