Back when I first started collecting comics, I was a huge fan of Crisis on Infinite Earths and The History of the DC Universe. I mean, I"m still a huge fan of both of those and have even gone so far as to get my copies of the collected editions signed. But back in the …
The Writing Pile
I have to admit that as much as I have written in the twenty years since I graduated form college (and if you even go back further, to writing stories and stuff in junior high and high school), I have never considered myself a writer. I think it's a personal hangup at this point--writers have …
Hawkworld #27-32
And so we come to "Flight's End." I'll admit that my last review wasn't much. The Eclipso chapter was a fun tie-in and issue #26 seemed to bridge the gap between the last storyline and this one, which is the very last of the series. I actually bought the very last issue (#32) when it …
Hawkworld #26, Annual 3
There is a six-part storyline that will end Hawkworld called "Flight's End", which will finish out the series. But before that, we've got two comics, one of which ties up some loose ends from "Escape from Thanagar" and the other which ties into Eclipso: The Darkness Within, which was 1992's company-wide crossover. In issue #26, …
Hawkworld #21-25
Since I began reading my Hawkworld comics, I have been waiting for this storyline. I can't say that it's because I knew it was important or anything like that--it's just that this had a special banner and covers and I'm definitely a mark for something like that, especially if it's from the Eighties or early …
Hawkworld #17-20
So by looking at Mike's Amazing World of Comics, if you wanted to get into Hawkman or Hawkworld, DC spent the summer of 1991 giving you no less than four jumping-on points: the Armageddon 2001 tie-in annual; the two War of the Gods crossover issues; the trade paper back of the three-issue miniseries; and issue …
Hawkworld #15, 16, Annual 2
So this is where I literally came in when it comes to Hawkworld. Not Hawkman, mind you--I remembered him from Super Friends and Crisis--but the whole concept of the post-Crisis Hawks. Back in 1991, I bought these three issues off the stands because they were part of two company-wide crossovers, War of the Gods and …
Hawkworld #10-14
After the Byth storyline, Hawkworld is at one of those impasses that happens to a lot of comic and television shows when they have to move on from the defeat or death of a big bad. Thankfully, John Ostrander (and Tim Truman before him) had spent enough time laying groundwork via Thanagarian politics that this …
Hawkworld #1-9, Annual #1
So before I start, I probably should qualify this set of reviews of the ongoing Hawkworld series from the early 1990s with two caveats: As with the Huntress ongoing, I'm going to hold off on my rating of Keep, Sell, Donate, or Trash until I'm done with the entire series. I realize that Hawkman's continuity …
Uncollecting Update: March 2019
As always, let’s start with the numbers. Media consumed # (remaining/total) Movies Watched 0 (153/155) Books Read: 3 (127/139) Comics Read: 32 (631/738) Podcast Episodes Remaining: 130 Movies The area I'm slacking on the most.
