Hawkman and Hawkgirl have had many variations of their logos over the years. Here are the logos I've managed to collect over the last few years. I've added a button to the blog's homepage for fans to find them quickly. Just click the pic, and it will bring you here!

Hawkworld will be starting a new comic review for Hawkman and Hawkgirl comics! And what's a review without a good tier system to rate the comics? I made a new tier-list ranking system worthy of Hawkworld comics to add at the end of every review, so look for the reviews and the rating I give each comic going forward! There's no better place to begin than at the start, so I'll be posting a review of…
Here's my updated Tier List for Hawkman/Hawkgirl comics. The top five series are absolutely essential for comics fans. The stories and the art are top-notch. The best of the best. The A-ranked series are also very good, and I definitely recommend them. The art in every series is the best out there, but the writing suffers a bit for various reasons. I may have had Vol. 4 up in the S-rank back in…
DC's Hawkgirl Summer Cover Date: September 2026 / Release Date: July 26, 2026 Script Meghan Fitzmartin Art: Meghan Hetrick Colorist: Nick Filardi Letterer: Travis Lanham Editing: Andrew Marino Cover: Guillem March Hawkgirl (Kendra Saunders) scores the cover and leading story in DC's latest anthology, a pretty rare feat for a Hawk character. Anthology stories are usually just extremely light…
Here are the two comics with Hawkman and Hawkgirl on the covers. There were zero mentions of the Hawks in any of the descriptions. Justice League Unlimited No. 24 Release Date: October 28, 2026 Hawkman is on the cover and listed as a "supporting" character. Hawkgirl has a variant cover by Bruno Redondo, but she is not listed in the characters who appear in the comic. "The disastrous war between…
The King Shazam story, which includes the Absolute Hawkman, finally comes to a close in Absolute Superman No. 21. The action in this story was pretty insane, and Hawkman had a pretty big part of it, so here's a spoiler-rich review of the issue. If you haven't read it yet, come back later! Absolute Superman No. 21 (September 2026) The battle between Superman and King Shazam continues on the moon,…
July 19th is the day when two significant issues in Hawkworld history were released: Hawkman Vol. 3 No. 13 and Legend of the Hawkman No.1. Hawkman Vol. 3 No. 13 Cover Date: September 1994 Release Date: July 19, 1994 Script: William Messner-Loebs Pencils: Steve Lieber Inks: Curt Shoultz Colors: Matt Webb Letters: Albert DeGuzman Editing: Archie Goodwin (credited) (group editor); Jim Spivey Cover:…
One of the goals for Hawkworld is to give Hawkfans a way to find the comics featuring Hawkman, Hawkwoman, and Hawkgirl. You often have to go over the solicitations with a fine-tooth comb several times to find comics with the Hawks. Even that is usually not enough. There are several ways, but here is one method that you can use to find the Winged Wonders in the comics. League of Comic Geeks is one…
This post follows the journey of Hawkgirl in the DCU from July 11, 2023 ( the day Isabela Merced was announced as Hawkgirl)! It has been confirmed that Hawkgirl will be in the Superman sequel and may also make some more appearances in Peacemaker Season 2. Here are Isabela Merced's Instagram , IMDb , and Wikipedia pages! DC Universe Wiki Caution: There are spoilers ahead, so watch the movie and TV…
Art by Bryan Hitch (Hawkman) and Stanley Lau (Supergirl) Back in February of 2019, the Hawkman series by Robert Venditti revealed a former life of Hawkman, and it wasn't just any random character. This character was Catar-Ol, a Kryptonian who was living on Krypton at the time of its destruction. He appeared in a few comics during the next two or three years, but he has not been seen since 2022.…
Hawkworld.org started with this post on April 9, 2017! What is Hawkworld? For me, it is a place to find my favorite superhero, to celebrate the past and look forward to the future. It is a place that lets me get away from all the business, problems, and worries that everyday life throws at me. It is a place to find the kid in me and feel young again. It is a place which allows me to soar with my…
July 4th may be "Independence Day" in America, but it's Impossible Day at Hawkworld! Let's take a look at the Thanagarian tradition that first appeared in The Brave and the Bold No. 44 (November 1962). In issue No. 42, Shayera has begun to get homesick. Even the festive Independence Day celebrations at Midway City don't cheer her up, so Katar suggests they do the traditional Impossible Day…
McFarlane Toys 7" DC Collector Edition 80s Wonder Woman, Poison Ivy And Hawkgirl First Look McFarlane Toys announced on June 25 that they would be releasing a Golden Age-era (sort of) version of Hawkgirl, along with Wonder Woman and Poison Ivy! They are currently on sale at Walmart. This version has one of Hawkgirl's Golden Age costumes, but the head is still Kendra, not Shiera. It looks like they…
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 in their Absolute Superman series. Hawkman first appeared in Absolute Evil No. 1 last year, and there is absolutely nothing to like about this character as a hero or a person. He is a murderer and a traitor, and he has…
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,…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
