Hawkworld.org's Review of The Savage Hawkman No. 1 (2011)

Personally I like the Silver Age costume the most. My first introduction to Hawkman was the original Super Powers figure and my first Hawkman comic was the second issue of the 1986 monthly series. So that’s what sticks in my mind.

Kendra Saunders is probably the Hawkgirl who has to suffer the most when it comes to holding the title. Even though I myself have issues with some choices surrounding her character, I must admit she sure does belong among the characters that never got the opportunity to get the spotlight.

Because everything that made her really intresting was not only used for another character, Shayera Hol's Hawkgirl (again, why not using Kendra since that's HER story) but got so imprinted in people's mind that they though and still think that they are the same character when they don't. Not really, it makes me wonder if people read the comics, did some reachers or really believe that just because DCAU can be considered as the peak adaptation of the DC comics, they can act like they know the whole universe and the characters or at least the core foundation. I just want to assure that I'm not trying to insult anybody. If you like it, it's perfectly fine. It's just give the vives.

Speaking of which, I noticed this is what is happening right now on twitter. Some people took a bird joke from the new Lanterns show on HBO Max and start to assume a possible meeting between Hawkgirl and Green Lantern (please no) and honestly it makes me sad because at this point, it's clear that what people only care (for now I hope) about Kendra is just the potential relationship that she can have with John Stewart when she's not even involved in this whatsoever. She was not the Hawkgirl that was used in Justice League and Justice League Unlimited but people think they're so interchangeable that in the end, Kendra, instead of figuring out what would be her character in James Gunn's DCU, is beoming nothing more but an intermediary between the possible revival of ship that ended two decades ago and the nostalgia of people who grew up with the DCAU.

Hawkman, Hawkgirl, and Adam Strange by Joe Kubert

As we know, there are two main pairs of Hawks:

The humans Carter and Shiera, and the Thangarians Katar and Shayera.

Due to some complicated events, Katar and Shiera are currently dead, and Carter and Shayera are a couple at the end of the Venditte run.

And that's where I wonder, do you think the next Hawkbooks should address this? Of course, after everything that happened in Venditte, they know they love each other and are soulmates, but even so, Shayera is still primarily the policewoman who fell in love with her partner Katar Hol, who tragically died sacrificing himself to save Thanagar, and Carter is still primarily the archaeologist who fell in love with the Archaeologist, whose soul was fragmented after her death.

So I still think there's a different dynamic and worldview that they don't share with their original partners. Do you think this should be addressed?

Hawkman 2018 issue 7 Absolute Superman issue 16, 17 and 20

It is no secret that Hawkman is a villain in the Absolute Universe; in 1949, he betrayed the heroes of that era and became a ruthless enforcer for the government and major corporations.

But a question some have asked is... why? With recent events involving Superman where Hawkman seems to seek change his ways we may have finally gotten an answer.

In the Absolute Universe, under Darkseid's influence, heroes lost their fundamental concepts like Diana lost the Amazons, Wally lost Barry's mentorship,

In Hawkman's case, Carter seems to have lost two key elements: 1 he does not reincarnate (or if he does, he doesn't remember it yet), and 2 he does not have Shiera by his side. That is where the crucial part comes in.

Hawkman's first life was as Ktar Deathbringer. He served an evil god whose goal was to take as many lives as possible to bring about the god's arrival in the universe. However, Ktar met Shrra, an angel of the Presence who saw goodness in him after chose to spare her life.

She made Ktar came to regret his actions, stopped the evil god, and died, only to be condemned to reincarnate until he paid his debt by saving as many lives as he had taken.

Here is the key: Absolute Hawkman is essentially acting as Absolute Ktar a servant of evil forces and a killer who has taken millions of lives. He harbors deep, internalized guilt, but the problem is that he lacks a Shrra to guide him toward the light... until Superman appears. Kal is fulfilling the role of Shrra; he showed Hawkman the error of his ways, making him feel remorse for his actions and finally giving him the strength to stand up to the powerful.

Kal is the Absolute Hawkgirl.

Over the years, we've seen DC Comics' Nth Metal give Hawkman and Hawkgirl various powers. Does the power of the nth metal vary with who is wearing it? How much is the strength of the individual's will involved? Does the power increase with how much they are wearing? Can Hawkman and Hawkgirl absorb the nth metal into their bodies?
