Women Wednesday: DC Comics Ooshies Hawkgirl Classic Pencil Topper

Breaking News: I finally found a DC Comics Ooshies Classic Hawkgirl Pencil Topper to complete my set. I picked up the last eighteen mystery bags that the local Walmart's had for a dollar each on Tuesday morning. Naturally, she's slightly shorter and thinner than the DC Comics Ooshies Hawkman Classic Pencil Topper. Along with her, I also got Aquaman, Batman Glitter, five Cyborgs, Flash, two Hawkmans, three Lex Luthors, Robin Bronze, Tornado Bronze and Wonder Woman Rebirth so let me know if you need any of them (Cyborg and Lex seems to be the most common).

Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight #4 Cover

Christmas may be over but Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight #4 is now out from DC Comics. The cover features Batman, Robin, Santa Claus and Krampus. Black Canary, Batgirl, Nightwing, Green Arrow, Blue Beetle and Miss Martian help Batman and Santa Claus battle a possessed Superman and banished monsters. Meanwhile, Krampus has Robin locked in a cage in a place called the Gnome Hall. Wonder Woman, Green Lantern Jo Mullein and Hawkgirl arrive to help Batman and the gang. This is the last issue of the mini-series and the ending was great.

Countdown to Christmas 2023 Day 20: Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight #3 Cover

Hawkgirl and Wonder Woman are on the cover of Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight #3 from DC Comics. This makes for a great Women Wednesday post for Christmas. The issue starts with Hawkgirl, Green Lantern Jo Mullein and Wonder Woman fighting Harpies in London. Then the scene switches to Blue Beetle meeting up with Superman, Batman, Nightwing, Batgirl, Black Canary, Green Arrow, Robin and Miss Martian. Yes, this is starting to feel more like a Justice League book at this point. They are expecting Santa Claus to show up but Peppermint Jon, a Huldufolk aka an elf, shows up instead. He takes them to Norway via a portal where Santa is fighting a sea serpent named Gandr. Superman punches the beast but is excited to meet Santa. He helps him lead the beast to the secret valley while Peppermint Jon teleports the other superheroes to Greenland ahead of them. They find Krampus and attack before Santa and Superman arrive. Superman gets possessed and attacks the others before Krampus teleports away with Robin. More monsters show up thanks to Superman destroying a glacier. This sets up the next and final issue due out next week.

Women Wednesday: The Huntress on Justice Society of America #1 Cover

The Huntress (Helana Wayne) is the sole survivor on the cover of Justice Society of America #1 from DC Comics. The former JSA members are "ghosts" in the background and include Green Lantern (Alan Scott), Flash (Jay Garrick), Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Wildcat, Sandman, Hourman and Starman. This continues the story started in The New Golden Age one-shot issue and is a must read before reading this issue. Catwoman is also inside this issue along with a very interesting JSA that her and the Huntress leads twenty-six years from now.

DC's Legends of Tomorrow Starts Tonight

Just a reminder that DC's Legends of Tomorrow starts tonight on the CW as Rip Hunter travels from the future to put a team together consisting of the Atom, White Canary, Captain Cold, Heat Wave, Firestorm, Hawkgirl and Hawkman (whew, that's a lot of superheroes on one show):

First Look: Hawkman and Hawkgirl from Legends of Tomorrow

I know most of you probably already saw the image below of Hawkman (Falk Hentschel) and Hawkgirl (Ciara Renee) from the upcoming Legends of Tomorrow tv series by now but I'm posting it here anyway. The costumes are interesting for there is a lot less skin from previous versions. There is also a lot of brown. No wings are shown since they will probably be computer generated.

Thrift Store Find: Red Justice (Justice League Book)

I found Red Justice by Michael Teitelbaum (Bantam, March 2003) yesterday afternoon at a local thrift store for fifty cents. This is based on the Justice League cartoon series from a few years ago. The back cover has the following text:

"Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, The Flash, Martian Manhunter. Together they are the Justice League - sever super heroes working together to save the world. Red Justice. The Justice League has been called to the Ural Mountains in Russia to shut down a decaying nuclear reactor - but in doing so they also cut off the power to a long-forgotten cryogenic lab hidden dep underground. There, a group of genetically engineered meta-humans are accidentally revived. Code-named Red Dawn, they are endowed with powers that rival those of the Justice League, threatening its very existence. Has the League really met its match?"

Hawkgirl Action Figure

The only action figure from the Justice League line that I actually broke down and bought new was Hawkgirl and she is still in her original package. What I really enjoy about the package is her name in Spanish which is Chica Halcon. I had to move the Hawkgirl action figure from one wall to another to make room for something else so I took some pictures while she was down.
