Nth Metal's Control of Gravity

   We all know about the anti-gravity powers that Nth Metal gives the wearer. It's been revealed that the Nth metal is psycho-receptive and can control all the fundamental forces of the universe. I've mentioned this is posts and tweets before, but I have often wondered in the past if Nth metal could also increase the weight of something. Imagine the powers that would give Hawkman. We've seen them lift things like cars or airplanes with the Nth Metal, but what if they could make them super-heavy? 

   In Superman Batman Public Enemies, we saw a fight between Superman and Hawkman. Hawkman used his Claw of Horus and Superman was "hit with the core of the planet." This means Hawkman was able to...

New Hawkgirl Series Coming in July

   It has been announced that a new 6-issue miniseries of Hawkgirl will start on July 18.

The writer will be Jadzia Axelrod and the art will be done by Amancay Nahuelpan. Here is the intro that we got for the first issue:

Hawkman, the Pulp Comic Hero

    CBR's Ashley Land put out a ranking of the top pulp comic heroes, and Hawkman showed up on the list. It's not too surprising, since Hawkman is a good example of how something was created from pulp fiction. LINK 

Here's part of what she says, 

CBR Article: 10 Best Supernatural DC Heroes

CBR's Ashley Land put out an article today on the 10 best supernatural heroes from DC. It's the usual light reading and very debatable, but guess what number Hawkman comes in at! LINK

Hawkman's books walk a line between adventure, science fiction and the mystical. His main supernatural element stems from his power of reincarnation, with the hero having lived dozens of lives across time and space. His unending existence is credited to a godlike entity who gave him his ability. cont.

The Daily Rios Digest's Review of Wednesday Comics' 2009 Hawkman Feature

   Back in 2009, DC Comics put out a weekly anthology book called Wednesday Comics. It featured 15 stories, one page a week for 12 weeks, and each story was done by a different writer. Kyle Baker put out a pretty good Hawkman story. To be honest, the first page was the best of the story, but it's worth a read if you can ever get your hands on a copy. 

   A comics podcast called The Daily Rios reviewed the story in an episode last month. It's a good review that had me remembering my own similar reactions when I read it for the first time. Go check out the podcast! LINK 

Hawk Cosplay Alert: Grace McClung

 Cosplayers are the best fans in the world. Their creativity comes from the heart. It may not be the best, but you can tell that they love what they are doing.

Thought for the Day: A Knowledgeable Editor Base is Vital

Been seeing a lot of comic book review sites and articles lately that talk about how bad the editing system is in DC Comics. It's almost like they have no editors, editors who know nothing about the characters, or editors who really don't care. A central editor for everyone to stay in touch with is vital for a system like DC Comics.

And DC Comics seems like they are ignoring one of their most vital, knowledgeable, and passionate resources; the fans.

Thought for the day.

Give JSA Another Shot! (Article by We Got This Covered)

Charlotte Simmons of the We Got This Covered site put out a word for the JSA, particularly Hawkman and Doctor Fate, asking James Gunn and the new DCU to give the characters another shot in another movie. Simmons was a bit hard on Black Adam IMHO, but it's nice to see the article and all the positive comments that Hawkman received. Check out the article! I hope it becomes a reality someday. 

DC defenders urge James Gunn to give the one bright spot of a major misfire another shot 

Then there's a sightly more depressing take on Aldis Hodges' chances of putting on the wings again...

Hawkman's Mansion

   In the Black Adam movie, we got a brief look at Hawkman's mansion. From the brief shots that we saw, it was truly impressive and displayed Carter Hall's immense wealth. In the movie, it was located in St. Roch, Louisiana and served as the Justice Society's headquarters. As Hawkfans remember, St. Roch was Hawkman and Hawkgirl's base during the Vol. 4 series by Geoff Johns and later Jimmy Palmiotti during the 2000s. It also made an appearance in the Legends of Tomorrow TV series.
