In Celebration of Action Comics No. 1000

The comic that started it all, Action Comics No. 1 was released on May 3, 1938. In the 80 years and 1000 issues of Action Comics,  Hawkman and Hawkwoman appeared with Superman on the cover of Action Comics No. 588. The comic was released on February 26, 1987. The cover was inked by John Byrne and colored by Tom Ziuko. Earlier this year, I was given the opportunity to purchase the original cover from Tom Ziuko himself. It's a thrill to own a piece of history and the cover is absolutely beautiful. Tom Ziuko has some more pieces for sale so go check the links too all the pieces on our Hawkworld Facebook group here.

Hawkman No. 2 Cover Released!

Hawkworld's Review of Metal

The Metal series is over. What a mind-tripping odyssey it was. It’s almost been exactly a year since we first heard about Scott Snyder’s bombastic idea of a series that centered on the metals, mainly the Nth Metal, of the DC Universe. As a Hawkman fan, I’ll have to admit I was less than optimistic about the event, and the last thing I wanted to see was the element that gave Hawkman his powers being given to the omnipresent Batman. After seeing my Tweets voicing my negative thoughts about the series, Snyder was kind enough to send me a message, saying that he was bringing back Hawkman in a huge way, to trust him and support the series. I'll admit it wasn’t easy. Hawkman has really gotten the short end of the mace these last few years, and I was starting to wonder if it was worth following DC Comics at all. But I followed the series, thinking that if Hawkman didn’t come back through this series, then maybe it was time to move on. But knowing me, I would probably still have been around. I love the character too much to just give up.
