San Diego Comic Con 2018 Hawkworld Report

The San Diego Comic Con 2018 is wrapping up and it was a relatively quiet event for the Hawks as far as news goes. Here's a quick wrap up of the highlights of the Comic Con for Hawkman and Hawkgirl. 

Hawkgirl Toys
DC Collectibles announced a Hawkgirl figure by artist Chrissie Zullo. It's very cute and would make a great addition to any Hawkgirl figure collection. The figure is scheduled to come out in 2019. Click the LINK for some details.

Another series of figures of the current Justice League series by Scott Snyder was also revealed during the event. It appears that the figures are bases on Jim Cheung and Jorge Jimenez's art in the series. Hawkgirl has her new gold-tipped white wings. It looks beautiful. Still looking for more details on this one. 

There was a DC Comics panel that included, from left to right, Liam Sharp, Marc Andreyko, Dan Jurgens, Sam Humphries, Tom Taylor, Tim Seely, Mitch Gerads and new Hawkman writer Robert Venditti, Venditti had this to say about the new series:

Robert Venditti then started talking about his new run on Hawman with Bryan Hitch. Now that the character has been modified post-Metal, the writer said his goal is to “make him the Indiana Jones of the DCU.” Now that he knows he’s been alive much longer than he thought, he’s kind of “the living historical document of the entire DC universe,” and he is stuck on an adventure trying to learn as much as he can about his past.
Instead of just reincarnating, he also reincarnates across time and space. So readers will learn more about the characters history and times that he reincarnated as a Kryptonian. There’s a new mystery unraveling that ties into Carter Hall’s past, but every time he reincarnates he’s forgotten some information that makes it harder for him to remember how to save the day.
Each issue will follow Hall as he explores another unique location in the DCU like Thanagar or Gorilla City as he discovers clues that his past selves have left for him. Tonally, the writer compared it to a combination of Indiana Jones and National Treasure, so if you’re a fan of adventure stories check this book out.
Gerads even piped in and said that he read the first two issues on the plane and that it was the “first time that I read a Hawkman story that made any sense whatsoever.”

Finally, maybe the highlight of the event was the picture of Robert Venditti with Hawkman cosplayer Andy Volt. Andy and Julia Moreno Jenkins have been killing it as Hawkman and Hawkgirl the last few years and they have been featured on many newspapers and TV reports. It was very cool to see Robert and Andy in a shot together! 

That's all the Hawknews I have for now. I'll update the article if I get some more details. The Aquman and Captain Marvel movie trailers were released on Saturday and they both looked amazing! This gave me hope that the DC movies were headed in a new direction and that we would get some Hawkworld movie news. But that's for another San Diego Comic Con!
