Wednesday Comics :: Hawkgirl

Wednesday Comics is a weekly anthology comic book launched by DC Comics on July 8, 2009. The title is published in 14" x 20" broadsheet format, very similar to Sunday newspaper comics sections. Each edition features 15 pages, each from a different story by a different creative team.

One of the heroes featured in this comic book is "Hawkman" written and illustrated by Kyle Baker. The story is outside DCU continuity but the characters are faithful to their known versions. Hawkgirl makes her first appearance in issue number 4 piloting her Thanagarian spaceship and fighting some aliens. This is the Shayera Thal version of the character. Unfortunately, it is a very brief cameo: she has one line and we can see only her shadow. The series is expected to last 12 issues, and she makes another cameo in issue number 8; hopefully we'll see her at least one more time before the end of the story.
