Absolute Hawkman / Carter Hall in Absolute Superman No. 20 (August 2026) SPOILER ALERT! As a Hawkman fan, it has been very difficult to like what DC Comics is doing to the character i

Always fun to update this collection of Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman pics from time to time. Hawkgirl truly is an iconic character with a rich history. Hawkgirl's History

DC Comics' solicitations for September 2026 have been released. There were zero mentions of Hawkman, Hawkwoman, or Hawkgirl in any of the current issues, but I managed to find Hawkman on a couple of covers and a double-mention of a Hawkman comic in a DC Finest book. Also, there was no mention of him, but Absolute Hawkman's recent appearances are in Absolute Superman. Wish there was more to report, but that's it for September. The wait continues. Keep soaring, Hawkfans!

Hawkman has had many changes in his appearance over the years. Some lasted for several years, while some were gone after a few issues. I've collected the costumes that appeared in Hawkman comics, and there have been quite a few. Katar Hol of Hawkworld was only around for seven years (seems longer), but he had four costume changes during that time. The current Hawkman, assuming it's the same because DC Comics gives very few details about Hawkman these days, hasn't changed much since he first…

Hawkgirl through the years! Hawkgirl has been through many changes since her first appearance back in the 1940s. I've listed the versions that appeared in the mainstream Hawkman comics and stories. Some lasted quite a while, and some only lasted a few issues. The 2012 Shayera Thal that appeared in The Savage Hawkman series was rebooted into the current 2018 Shayera Hol. The 1987 Sharon Parker version is always a hot discussion, but she did appear in the Hawkworld series, so I added her. Please…

Rating the Hawkman Comics! I approach this project with a bit of hesitation and preparation to accept some chastisement from some fellow Hawkfans, including myself. I say this because we all have differing opinions on the comics that have remained in our hearts over the years, so if someone sees how I have relegated their favorite series to Fair or below, they have every right to tell me to stick where the sun doesn't shine. I'll probably ask myself what the seven hells I was thinking when I…

DC Comics has a Thanagar problem. Or to put it more accurately, Thanagar has a DC Comics problem. The apparent lack of vision and planning for Thanagar is truly baffling. In this article, I'll try to explain what is going on with the current Thanagar. But it isn't easy because DC Comics either has no real plan, or they just aren't explaining it enough for the comics fans, and more importantly, for the Hawkfans to know what in the seven hells is going on. But I'll give it a shot. The current…

Hawkman and Hawkgirl have a long history! Hopefully, this chart will help clear it up a bit. Just follow the line down, and you'll see how the Hawks have progressed through history! Update (June 2026): There are no updates so far! As far as we know, this chart is still current and up to date.

The DC Finest series, which launched a couple of years ago, has been a big hit, and DC Comics continues to release new books every month. So far, Hawkman has had one book out, and he has appeared in several others. DC Comics is currently doing a poll for which books to consider for publication. There are four Hawkman selections. Hawkman: Golden Age (1940 - 1960) [volumes prior to Wings Across Time] Hawkman: Silver Age & Bronze Age (1966 - 1987) [volumes after Wings Across Time, continues…

Hawkman and Hawkwoman/Hawkgirl have the foundation any writer would need to create a great story and series. Over the last 87 years, the story and legend of the Hawks have been greatly expanded. Many characters, places, items, and theories have been introduced, but very few have been allowed to become the rock-solid base that other major DC characters enjoy. Writers like Gardner Fox, Tony Isabella, Timothy Truman, John Ostrander, Geoff Johns, and Robert Venditti have given us many stories that…

DC Comics' solicitations for August 2026 have been released. There were zero mentions of Hawkman or Hawkgirl in over 80 comics solicits, but there were three covers with some Hawkman on them. They are listed below. As always, hoping for something a little more next month.

Over the last few decades. DC Comics has published some events that depict our favorite heroes as evil versions of themselves. The first version we saw was the Crime Syndicate in Justice League of America No. 29 (August 1964). There were evil versions of Superman (Ultraman), Wonder Woman, (Superwoman), Batman (Owlman), Green Lantern (Power Ring), and Flash (Johnny Quick). Since then, we have seen many versions of heroes turned evil, such as Superman in the Injustice Gods Among Us series (2013-)…

Ever since I started Hawkworld almost ten years ago, I've always used two of the commissions I asked Prentis Rollins to do for me. They are absolutely amazing pictures by Rollins, and I proudly have them displayed on my wall at home. If anyone ever wants a commission, I definitely recommend Rollins! He is a very talented artist and will surely do an amazing piece for you!

Hawkworld started almost ten years ago, and since then, the number of visits to the site has steadily increased. Five years ago, I signed up for the Hawkworld.org domain, and it has really taken off since then. Five thousand views a month, then 10,000, and it has steadily increased. Currently, Hawkworld receives over at least 50k visitors/views a month, and sometimes it goes even over 100k. I have no idea how other heroes' sites do, but it's encouraging to see Hawkfans and other curious fans…

80th Anniversary Montage by Tim Board On April 25, 1941, an iconic character was created by legendary writer Gardner Fox. Shiera Sanders started out as Hawkman/Carter Hall's love interest and supporting character, but that's not how the story ended. Eighteen months after Shiera's first appearance in Flash Comics No. 1 in November 1939, she put on the Hawk costume for the first time to help Hawkman trick some criminals. That was the small beginning, but it gradually became something much, much…
