Hawkwoman :: The Thanagarian II

"This was always an issue we were going to have to deal with," Geoff Johns said during an interview back in 2003 about the three part arc that ran in issues 15-17 of the Hawkman comic. "It's a Hawkman book and there's still the Hawkworld Hawkwoman out there. Of course, it was intimidating in the fact that we really felt we had established who the Hawks were and we had lots of new Hawkman fans reading the book. It all comes to down to this - I think there's a really fantastic story involving her return to the DCU."

Cover to issue #16 by Michael Watson

"It may have been easier to avoid confusion, but I think to some extent a lot of questions are still being raised with readers. We thought it best to literally layout a simple timeline and tackle the issue head on. Michael Watson had drawn an absolutely stunning Hawkwoman [cover] and I guarantee any fan will be knocked out. Shayera has never looked this good."
