    Default Seven Hells! Hawkman Appreciation 2019

    Happy New Year, everybody! I guess we're purging the old appreciation threads for the new year, so here we go again. Time to celebrate the greatest winged warrior in all of comics, Hawkman!

    Be it Carter Hall, Kator Hol, or anyone else who's used the moniker, feel free to share your favorite pictures, stories, quotes, and anything else Hawkman-related in this very thread.

    As always, have fun and keep it civil, everyone.

    Now let's soar into the new year!

    Hawkman is awesome and I'm enjoying his current solo. I hope we get to see more of him in 2019.
    We are the Dora Milaje. We are the daughters of the 18 tribes of Wakanda. We are the teeth of the Panther God. Out of 10,000 years of sweat and bloodshed and battle are we born. We are the women of this ancient land. Deadliest of the species. And our time has come!

    I first saw Hawkman alongside Captain Marvel in Superman Batman Vol. 1 Public Enemies hired to hunt down the title characters. Not much I can say about my impression back then. All I can think was Captain Marvel still feels like a superhero but Hawkman feels more violent, like an anti hero. A Wolverine or Batman type of character.

    Are we really trying to christen a new Hawkman thread without a Joe Kubert piece on the front page? For shame!

    That was an interpretation imposed on the character in the 1990s. It's like he wasn't edgy enough for the times. DC published a sort of alternate origin story for him in 3 issues called Hawkworld that sold pretty well. So DC doubled down on that take, then tried to reconcile it with other versions, and the character never really recovered.

    The new version is better than anything we've seen in years, but still has some problems of its own.
