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.

My Hawkgirl comic book collection has been stagnant for some time.

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.)
