Review of Black Adam The Justice Society Files: Hawkman No. 1

Editor: Katie Kubert

   I had no idea what to expect for this issue, and it's supposed to be a lead-in to the movie, so I approached it as a completely elseworld story. This Hawkman looked almost nothing like the Hawkmen we've had in the past, so I expected a lot of changes. However, Cavan Scott has written Hawkman and Hawkwoman before, and he has been "loyal" to the basic idea of Hawkman. He picked up very nicely (DC Love is a Battlefield, 2021) where Robert Venditti left off so I wasn't TOO worried.

A Guide Through the History of Hawkman and Hawkwoman/Hawkgirl

   Thanks for coming over to my guide to the Hawks. I originally had everything posted here, but the article became so massive that I decided to move it over to the contents page. This has been a project that has taken me several years and I may never be finished. I've written similar articles about the history of Hawkman and Hawkgirl, but I wanted to put it all together so that fans old and new can easily find the answers they have when reading the Hawks. It has been a fun, fascinating endeavor, and I continue to learn more about my favorite superhero every day. I have moved the articles over to my main contents page, so click the link below to read up on each era of the Hawks. Thanks for checking it out, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Article Link

Black Reign (JSA/Hawkman 2004)

 In 2004, Geoff Johns wrote a six-issue story that crossover over in the JSA and Hawkman series. It told the story of how Black Adam took over Khandaq and how the Justice Society went to stop him. It was one of the highlights of both series. The upcoming Black Adam movie (July 2022) will probably take its main storyline from this series. It's a fantastic story that is well worth picking up. You can find the collection of the six issues in the JSA #8 trade paperback. Another official Black Reign trade is scheduled to come out in June. Definitely worth picking up!
