DC Comics' Destruction of Hawkman

This is my reaction to Absolute Evil so if you liked the issue, and many did, it might not be worth your time reading this article. Straight upfront, I did not for various reasons. Just call it a theraputic ketchup-throwing rant and we'll buckle up for tomorrow's release of the first issue of DC KO. 

DC Comics destroys Hawkman. Again. They just wrecked him for the current generation of comic book readers. They ruined Hawkman for a generation back in the 2000s with the Justice League cartoon by making him a schizophrenic stalker who intruded on Hawkgirl and her romance with GL John Stewart. The kids who grew up hating Hawkman are now writing the comics and articles for comic book sites. This is why we get Jeremy Adams teasing Shayera-John Stewart in the Green Lantern Corps seies and Isabela Merced declaring she wants to see John Stewart in the DCU. It's rare when you come across an article that looks favorably at Hawkman now. I realize there will be many who disagree with my take on this development and will advise me to calm the heck down. I'm calm but it's a simmering calm, and after numerous stories by writers who have made Hawkman a character to hate, this is my current state.

Hawkworld Hits One Million Views!

Hawkworld.org hits ONE MILLION views!

Hawkworld opened on November 20, 2017, Hawkman's 78th anniversary, and the number of daily views of the site has steadily increased over the years. At first, it was a good day if the blog got 100 views a day. It gradually increased and in May 2021, I got the Hawkworld.org domain. This really had an effect on the views and the site now gets anywhere from 3k to 7k views a day, or over 100,000 views a month. I thought it would take a lot longer to reach this goal, so I'm amazed Hawkworld has reached 1,000,000 views so soon.

Hawkman's Super Spaceship: The Soarship

   Every superhero has a lair of some sort. Superman has his Fortress of Solitude. Batman has his Batcave. Hawkman has his lair as well. It's never really been acknowledged, but it's been there since the beginning of the Silver Age. In the most recent Hawkman series, Hawkman Vol. V (2018-2021), Rovert Venditti brought back Hawkman's spaceship and made it into such a lair that even Batman would envy. 

   Ever since Hawkman entered the Silver Age as a Thanagarian, he has had a spaceship in many of his stories. These spaceships have played an important role in many of his stories. Some lasted for years, while others only showed up briefly. Before we get into the main topic, here's a quick rundown of the spaceships that Hawkman has used in the past.
