The Hawkman Comics Offered at the Comic Book Bin


The Hawkman comics offered at the Comic Book Bin are the first issues from Geoff Johns and Rag Morales' run. In these stories, Hawkman and partner Hawkgirl move to St.Roch and much of the continuity mess plaguing the character is fixed.



As a kid, my first exposure to Hawkman was the fourth issue of the famed Shadow War mini-series by Tony Isabella, Richard Howell and Alfredo Alcala.


Though it was but the last part of a bigger epic, and that my knowledge of English was severely limited and that it took me years before I could understand all the words, Hawkman earned himself a spot in my heart.



A year later, I got the famed Hawkman Super Power figure and the first issue of the new Hawkman series that picked up after the events of the last mini.


Then in 1990, I started reading the regular Hawkworld series and later the mini-series that had introduced the characters.



Today, I've finally read the first three chapters of the mini. I can't believe how the story is so good and even though Hawkman's history is a mess, reading those simpler, yet invigorating stories helped kow why I love him and Hawkgirl so much.


As a treat, this series even had a list of retconned stories in the letter's page.


Is there any wonder why Hawkman is still one of the books I buy today? The best thing about today's Hawkman, is that his fury exists more than ever.



I love all Hawkmen and all Hawkgirls/women. I don't know why. Those guys just click with me.



Self, I apologize for being such a Hawkman groupie.
Hervé
