The Many Looks of Hawkman

By Tim Board (Hawkworld: Facebook and Twitter)
Over the years, Hawkman has had several looks and changes in his appearance. This may come as a surprise to some, because Hawkman is all about the wings and the mace and all. However, since he debuted in 1940, he has had basically 13 different looks over the years. This list doesn't include his temporary outfits, such as the time-warped look Tom Derenick gave him in 2008's Trinity series. The most drastic change he had was in Timothy Truman's Hawkworld series, where the wings became metal, and he wore a full body uniform. But that only lasted about 7 years, and after disappearing for four years, Hawkman came back in 2001 with an updated look of the original and that appears to be the look we are getting in the current Metal series. Which is your favorite look?

Hawkman Review of Hawkman Found

By Tim Board (Hawkworld Facebook and Hawkworld Twitter)
Since Hawkman Found was announced during the summer, there has been a lot of speculation about the direction Hawkman would be taken. In the Dark Days: The Casting, Carter Hall disappeared into the Dark Multiverse and had not been heard of since. When the Metal No. 4 was released on December 20th, we found out what Hawkman had become; a giant Hawk-monster called the Dragon of Barbatos who guarded the Forge of Worlds, staring down Superman and Batman. That gave us an idea of what the Hawkman issue was going to be about. How did Carter Hall become the creature that he is now?

Metal Series Wikipedia Page

Unless you know your comic book history and are reading all of the tie-ins, the Metal series by Scott Snyder is pretty confusing. Wikipedia's page on Metal has it all explained (as best it can) and also has a list of all the comics and tie-ins. If you're looking for a simple summary and which comics to read, this is a pretty good start.
