Hawkgirl Character Sheet

This is a character sheet for the "Super Friends" TV show from back in the 80's. Besides Wonder Woman and Jayna, Hawkgirl was the only other female character featured prominently in the show - Rima the Jungle Girl was a guest in three adventures, though.- This model sheet shows the character's height, wingspan, helmet detail, and color guide.

The image below is another character sheet for Hawkgirl; this one showing the colors of the uniform. I am not sure whether this is an original or just a bad copy, since the colors in the uniform are all wrong even though the guide above clearly indicates that the hair should be red and the shirt should be yellow.

BRIGHTEST DAY: Mera Action Figure

Comics' biggest event continues as BRIGHTEST DAY burns away the BLACKEST NIGHT! In this best-selling follow-up, the white light has resurrected twelve heroes and villains. Though the exact reasons for their rebirths remain a mystery, each is destined to play an intricate role in the future of the DC Universe.

"BRIGHTEST DAY is about second chances. It's looking at twelve characters that have been resurrected and examining whether it's a miracle or a curse. Some second chances work out … some don't. BRIGHTEST DAY is the next step in repositioning a lot of characters in the DC Universe and pushing them to the next level." — Geoff Johns

The Mera figure stands at about 6.50" features multiple points of articulation and include a display base. Character-appropriate accessories are also included. 4-color clamshell blister card packaging. She will be in Series 2 along with Hawkman, Martian Manhunter, and Firestorm sometime in 2011.

Hawkwoman vs. Adam Strange

Back in the Silver Age, they were the closest of allies, sharing many adventures on Earth, Rann, Thanagar, and outer space. After Crisis on Infinite Earths, and the Hawkworld series, their origins were revised, and they barely knew each other. By the time the Rann-Thanagar war exploded, Officer Shayera Thal and Adam Strange were enemies, and their pivotal battle was one of the highlights of this mini-series!

Officer Shayera Thal was undercover spying on the Seven Devils Cult, but when trying to recruit Hawkman Carter Hall's help, her cover was blown. Hawkwoman escaped certain death at the hands of the Seven Devil's Cult in the middle of the exploding war and the first person she sees among enemy ranks is Adam Strange.

An amazing fight takes place!

Finally, Hawkman Carter Hall and Hawkgirl Kendra Saunders arrive to stop the fight and convince the battling heroes that it is in their best interest and their worlds' to form an alliance to try to stop the war.

Unfortunately for everyone, another player joins the truce: Tamaran's Komand'r a.k.a. Blackfire!

This is a very cute set of cards -not so much postcards, more like minicards- featuring the Super Friends. Birthdays, Valentine's, get well wishes, farewells, Christmas, thank you notes, and many other themes are included in this set; there are cards of every situation!

This one features the dominoed daredoll from Gotham City, our dear Batgirl in one of her most classic stock art poses and "Just a friendly line...". What a nice way to get in touch with a dear friend or a fellow comic book freak!

Brightest Day Teaser Poster

So this is what everyone is town is talking about right now: The Brightest Day Teaser Poster. Who knows how many omens are being foretold in this amazing piece by none other than Ivan Reis.

The Brightest Day Teaser is inspired by Peter Blume's "The Rock", which you can appreciate below.

I am really excited about everything Brightest Day related, but especially the main series, and at that, all the spotlight that Mera is receiving. And proof of that, is this teaser; front and center is the Queen of Xebel (and leader of the Death Squad, but more of that another day).

Is Mera looking at her dead-undead husband, or is she staring past him towards White Lantern Hal Jordan?
