The History of Hawkman and Hawkgirl by Geoff Johns

Summary by Tim Board (Hawkworld Facebook and Hawkworld Twitter)
One of the greatest series of Hawkman comics was the series Geoff Johns did from 2002 to 2004. With the art of Rags Morales, Johns brought the confusing story of Hawkman together and it actually made sense. One of the best issues from his run is Issue No. 15, titled "The Thanagarian". In the first issue of this three-part story, Hawkwoman makes her first appearance in eight years. In the issue she tells the story of the Hawks and how they came to be. In just a few panels, Johns and Morales tolf the story as simply as possible. It is definitely worth a read. After the end of Johns, summary, I've added what has happened to the Hawks since 2004.

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?
