Hawkman Coming to the DC Absolute Universe in October

 

Absolute Evil was announced a few weeks ago and alert Hawkfans immediately noticed Hawkman on the cover. The villains are having a "go team!" moment, and under thier hands are pictures of heroes that they are going after or have already defeated. Hawkman's picture is there on the bottom left. It's also interesting that his picture is the only one that is not ripped. So what can this mean? He may not be defeated yet. He may be but they didn't bother ripping his picture. He may not even be in the issue at all. Which has happened many, many, many times. 

But then we got some confirmation (thank to Matt B. Lloyd for the heads up!) that Hawkman WILL actually be in the issue. Here is a quote from the PopVerse article. 

DC K.O: Hawkman's Opponent Revealed

   Last month, DC announced a new event called DC K.O, a tournament-style competition where heroes go up against each other to determine who will go up against Darkseid. Or something like that. The 32 heroes in the draw were announced and Hawkman (no Hawkgirl or Hawkwoman) was announced. Personally, I'm kind of burnt out on heroes against heroes and big crossovers but since Hawkman is involved, let's follow it and see what happens. The full draw was released and we found out who Hawkman's 1st round opponent is.

DC Finest Trade Paperbacks: Finding the Hawkman/Hawkgirl Books

   DC Comics announced a new line of trade paperbacks last year, and the DC Finest series has been releasing about three books a month now for almost a year. The first Hawkman book was released in August and the general reception of the books by comics fans seems to be good. Not only are they barraging us with their Trinity but the other heroes are also getting some books out there so this is definitely a step in the right direction. I'm going to start a DC Finest watch for Hawkman books for the blog so if you are looking for the DC Finest books with Hawkman and/or Hawkgirl click the logo below in the right column of the desktop version of the blog and it will bring you back to this page. 

   Hawkman Book Two has not been announced yet. Will we get a second book that completes Hawkman Vol. 1? That probably depends on how well the first book sells. So get out there and pick it up, Hawkfans!
