It's pretty good, actually. Parallels his JSA run a lot when he was on both.
Also, if you have not read the Hawkworld miniseries and ongoing by Ostrander, holy shit you need to do so IMMEDIATELY.
>>77406836
Okay, OP, you win. Please enjoy these fine Hawkman comics.

While I generally agree, I respect Hawkman's eight to be on the JL. I just want some reason to justify t.

And I remember one of his older runs in which he fights a bunch of other humanized animal characters, it was surprisingly dark
Also, this image is important to keep in mind

Shit, what's the comic that image comes from? I know it's really good, with really, really awkward art.
Is Hawkman an alien, an Egyptian spirit thing, an Indian spirit, or something else?
>>77407137
it's from the Wednesday Comics Hawkman story

depends on which Hawkman
in the new 52 it's just alien Katar Hol

>Golden Age hawks
Archaeologists who find out they're the reincarnations of Egyptian royalty and use ancient medieval weaponry and Nth metal to punch crime's face in.

Space cops from Thanagar

Originally intended to be a sort-of-out-of-continuity story about Silver Age Katar Hol's origin but they decided to brute force it into continuity creating the
>Hawksnarl
I don't fucking know. Character is so overcomplicated by this point they kill them off and leave them dead.
>Johns Hawkman
Carter Hall (Golden Age Hawkman) gets resurrected via Thanagarian science-magic, and has knowledge of all his past reincarnations. Kendra Saunders actually has the soul of Shayera and tries to come to grips with that
Then Brightest Day happened then the reboot
>New 52
No Hawkwoman yet, but Hawkman is back to Katar Hol, Thangarian Space Cop.

If I may sperg out a little, the Hawksnarl mostly fucked Katar up but it also declared that Shayera isn't part of the reincarnation cycle, it skips right from Shiera to Kendra (then back to Shiera again with Brightest Day)
Kendra and Shayera were actually alive at the same time for a while

Makes sense to me.

Not muh.
And no Hawkman/Hawkgirl pairing, what the fuck? They wanted to have cake and eat it.

What the fuck

>No Hawkwoman yet, but Hawkman is back to Katar Hol, Thangarian Space Cop.
There's a Hawkgirl on Earth 2, and there was a Shayera introduced in the new 52 but it was when they let Rob Liefeld write Hawkman and it was thoroughly horrid and worth forgetting
>>77407602
Did you read the comic or did you just read *about* the comic?
Liefeld Hawkman was actually an improvement over the previous issues (Tony Daniel and Philip Tan).
>>77407600
>Liefield
Yeah it was one of about 5 series he was working on that got killed off in the first round or the first round after he started working on them.
>>77407651
I read the comic anon, that's how I know about Hawktits
They were all shitty writers and Liefeld's reintroduction for Shayera was fucking atrocious and her design was retarded
>>77406928
I see someone just watched the JL cartoons and hasn't bothered to read any hawkman
