Review of Hawkworld 2024

   
   The Year 2024 was another year of waiting, searching, and being disappointed that ended with a bit more to look forward to in 2025. In comics, Hawkman and Hawkgirl appear to be back as regular members of the JSA series, unlike the disastrous, horribly delayed Justice Society series by Geoff Johns that ended mercifully in October. In the movies, Hawkgirl was in and out of the news thanks to the upcoming Superman Legacy film. Here are the highlights of Hawkworld 2024.

Preview of JSA No. 3

 JSA No. 3 is coming out on January 1, but AIPT comics site posted a preview of the issue. If you read the last issue, Hawkman had a demonic sword thrust thru his chest. Is he dead? Hard to imagine how he'll get out of this one. And remember, the reincarnation cycle has been completed so if he dies, that's the end. No more reincarnation. Click the link below to check out the preview!

The Artists of Hawkman and Hawkgirl

   I put together two montages of many of the artists who have done Hawkman and Hawkgirl over the years. Hawkman and Hawkgirl are characters who have been blessed with some of the greatest artists in comics. I'll list the full names of the artists below. If there is someone you think I should add next time, feel free to let me know in the comments!

Petition for The Shadow War of Hawkman and Hawkman Vol. 2

    Way back in 1968, Hawkman's first solo run ended and he was teamed up with the Atom in the retitled Atom series, but The Atom and Hawkman lasted only 7 issues before being canceled. It began a long period where you would have to go to the Justice League of America series, backup features in Detective Comics, or stories in the World's Finest Comics to find the Hawks. Despite being almost a first-tier or strong second-tier hero in DC Comics during this time, Hawkman was without his own series for a very long time.

On Bluesky, I created a feed called Hawkworld so you can follow all the posts that include "Hawkworld." If you post something about Hawkman or Hawkgirl on Bluesky, please add "Hawkworld" or "#Hawkworld" to your post and it will go on the feed.

JSA #2 Review

JSA No. 2 (February 2025)
Script: Jeff Lemire
Pencils/Inks: Diego Olortegui
Colors: Luis Guerrero
Letters: Steve Wands
Cover: Diego Olortegui 
Editing: Andrew MarinoMarquis DraperKatie Kubert 

   The new JSA series kicked off with a bang in issue No. 1. Writer Jeff Lemire didn't waste any time getting the action going and in this issue, we get a flashback of how our heroes ended up being attacked by the Injustice Society in separate locations. The Injustice Society is pretty ruthless here and the JSA clearly have their backs up against a wall. It's nice to see Hawkman villains Gentleman Ghost and Shadow Thief showing their stuff. Hawkman (Carter Hall) and Hawkgirl (Kendra Saunders) are outside the Tower of Fate and holding back the army from Hell but they are clearly overwhelmed. The issue ends with Jay Garrick smashed by Solomon Grundy, Jakeem still a coma, and finally Hawkman apparently impaled through the chest with a demon's flaming sword.

Hawkworld on Bluesky!

 Bluesky has been around since 2019. Hawkworld received an invitation for it back in 2021. It was a bit slow at first, but it has really taken off during the last month. Hawkworld is there and trying to post daily. Also, there is a TON of comic book creators jumping on to Bluesky as well! So if you are interested in a rapidly growing social media site and want some Hawk-content, come give Hawkworld a follow and come soar the friendly skies!

JSA #1 Review

JSA No. 1 (January 2025)

 
   The new JSA series has kicked off! This review will be solely from a Hawkman/Hawkgirl point of view so if you're looking for a more complete review, please check out the other sites. 

   Jeff Lemire's series has finally kicked off and to be honest, it's a bit of a disappointment, from a Hawkfan's perspective of course. It appears that the Infinity INC and the Justice Society are together now and the younger heroes are trying to figure out why the veteran heroes suddenly vanished and where they went. While they squabble over how things should be done, it's revealed that the older members are in the Tower of Fate. Alan Scott, Jay Garrick, Wildcat, and Dr. Fate are trying to find a way out while Hawkman and Hawkgirl are outside fighting off the "locals." At the end of the issue, we find out that the Injustice Society may be behind it.

Make Hawkman Simple?

Art by Cully Hamner
  
   DC Comics' Absolute Universe has kicked off. While none of it has caught my interest, it's impossible to avoid seeing articles and posts about what is going on with the event. I make it a point to read the articles that mention Hawkman and I came across an article that left me scratching my head. 
   In the CBR article by Timothy Blake Donohoo, the following is mentioned and suggested:
