Hawkman among Worst Ever Retcons

Hawkman Vol. 3 No. 13

Zero Hour: Crisis in Time No. 3

Retcons in comics are as common as fleas on a dog. They've been doing it forever and it seems like they need to do it once every two or three years lately. Hawkman has been a part of, and often a victim of that process. He has been retconned numerous times over the past few decades and it takes a comics book fan with a doctorate in Hawkology from the University of Thanagar to sort it all out. Seven hells, that's part of the fun of being a Hawkfan. 

The Story of Shayera Hol/Hawkwoman and Kendra Saunders/Hawkgirl

By Tim Board

   Since the release of DC Rebirth and the Dark Nights Metal series in 2016-18, Hawkfans have been introduced to a new Kendra Saunders and Shayera Hol. After Flashpoint and then Rebirth, it has been explained that the current versions are new in some ways but retain parts of their previous versions. Fans and readers were wondering how there could be a Hawkgirl and a Hawkwoman at the same time in the new DC Universe. This article explains who Hawkgirl and Hawkwoman are and how each character is connected to Hawkman.
