From The Nail. Even more EVERYTHING!

Alex Ross REALNESS! Need I say fierce. I don't think so.

Those final panels in that scene from The Nail are always so heart-breaking. Great story.

And great choice of that cover from Hawkman #4. One of the best of all time IMO.

Includes Hawkgirl, yes?

There's an obvious reason I love this one, of course. But also those storm-cloud wings...!

I know I wanted to do Shayera before I even knew what that was!

Hawkwoman's scene from The Nail above was easily one of the best in that comic, and even in Another Nail. That comic shows that she could be amazing even without Katar, but that both characters also complemented each other so well. A perfect example of a female hero who is both enhanced by, and enhances, her partner; yet is just as strong without him.

I agree on all counts but I might say that scene from the Nail is one of the best scenes in comics. It is so pivotal to the story while summing up the whole story. Beautifully drawn also. That panel with her bursting out of the flames with kids in her arms is what comics are all about.

I have no idea what this means!

:?:

It was so emotional so many lows and highs and then a shocking low but in retrospect it is a bit of foreshadowing that the heroes will eventually get it together and fight back.

I think the current thinking is that ... she is (was) an ancient Shayera/Shiera reincarnated during WW2. no? sort of?

that's the only excuse I can think of for why when "Shiera" was reincarnated from Hawkgirl/kendra in Blackest Night she and Hawkman looked like Shayera and Katar.

I think I will stick with that definition anyway. ;P

So Thanagarian Hawks are the originals, landed in ancient Egypt and somehow keep being reincarnated ... probably not but ... would make more sense I think. or some sense.

Shayera needs a drink after the JLI starts trying to figure out her origin ...

One of my favorite comic book moments ever. srsly.

Love the Aborbascron!

I want one!

Sigh, I wish Shayera had been part of the JLI for much longer.

YES, Her and Katar seemed to find a rhythm that was very much like the scene I will post below, yet in opposite roles, Shayera mellows a bit and loses the anger but keeps her sarcasm while straight laced Katar becomes uptight. Which made it all the more funny!

Me gusta mucho!

btw, I think Aqua Man was trying to get a face full of spiked mace!

Now time for some funny:

I remember that scene. I was all behind Shayera there.

Love that she's confident enough in her marriage not to get even the least bit jealous that Katar is carrying Fire, of all people!

And I love that she knows just what a stiff Katar is, but loves him anyway

Katar has lots of redeeming qualities though.
