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 reading, but if the writer is good enough, they can add to a character's story and history within the 12 pages they have. Did DC accomplish that here? Let's take a look. Spoilers ahead, so come back after you've read the comic!

DC Comics Solicitations October 2026 for Hawkman and Hawkgirl

Absolute Superman No. 21 (Absolute Hawkman) Review

 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! 

July 19: This Day in Hawkworld History

New Hawkworld Feature: Finding Current Appearances

 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.

   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. Still, he was given a pretty important background.

   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 favorite fictional hero. It is a place to share my favorite heroes with other like-minded Hawkamaniacs! It is a special place, and that special place reached a big milestone today!

 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 just repainted the figure and didn't do much else.
