Summer Reading Update: Zero Hour Having just completed my second read-through of “Zero Hour,” the classic 1994 5-issue DC crisis event spanning from issue #4 to #0, I find there is still an immense amount to unpack. While my understanding of the DC multiverse and its alternate timelines certainly helped, a specific plot point remains entirely baffling to me: the strange events surrounding Hawkman and … Continue reading Zero Hour & The Fate of Hawkgirl
This article combines two earlier articles with some new information. What I cannot explain is how I knew where to look for the original, except that I remembered seeing that version of Supergirl before and had a rough sense of when and where to search. In keeping continuity with the titles of previous Supergirl articles, I have given this article a provocative title to try … Continue reading Supergirl Covers Revealed
My Hawkgirl comic book collection has been stagnant for some time. Acquiring new additions has become increasingly challenging, especially considering two key factors: the scarcity of recent publications featuring her on the cover and the astronomical prices of rare golden and early silver age issues. My collection’s strict criteria require either a cover appearance of Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman (or her civilian identities Shiera/Shayera) or a significant cameo … Continue reading Hawkgirl/Covergirl Update #142

I have a theory regarding variants – their sole purpose is to get me to buy comic books that I already own. And … Continue reading Hawkgirl/Covergirl Update #141
As I mentioned in previous posts, there are ten books from the golden age of comics that I would need to complete my Hawkgirl/Covergirl Collection; however, there is no way that I could afford to purchase these books published between 1940 and 1948. Yet, I wondered what it would cost in 2024 to purchase these ten comic books from the golden age of comic books, … Continue reading One Can Only Dream
In the past, I have written about the thirteen Hawkgirl/Covergirl books that I would like to buy yet would never buy because they are way outside my price range – some with prices in the thousands. Ten of those books were published between 1940 and 1948 during what is considered the golden age of comic books. The last three of the ten I identified were … Continue reading Hawkgirl/Covergirl Update #140

It has been a while since I bought comic books. I have been so out of it that I only recently learned that the entire Justice League was wiped out in Dark Crisis Vol 1 #7 (February 2023.) No spoiler alerts here, as I have not caught up. I subscribe to DC Universe Infinite and can only access books published over six months ago. I … Continue reading Hawkgirl/Covergirl Update #139
