Forget whatever you think you know about Hawkman! Tim Truman's 1989 prestige format miniseries Hawkworld drew from inspirations including cop shows, Vietnam War movies, and The Count of Monte Cristo to update the winged warrior's Silver Age origin for a grittier, more grounded era. The result is a science fiction adventure offering a critique of imperialism and class inequality that resonates just as strongly today. We'll also dig into the confusing tangle of Hawkman's post-Crisis continuity, but rest assured that Hawkworld itself won't require you to be an expert in Thanagarian lore before or since.
In today's episode, we talk about Jonah Hex: Two-Gun Mojo by Joe Lansdale & Tim Truman! This series is one of the highlights of early Vertigo! Lansdale and Truman deliver a great western mixed with the supernatural.

While most of the comics we talk about on this one are new, this is as classic an episode of Comic Books Are Burning In Hell as it gets: there's Garth Ennis comics, a recap of Peter Milligan's decisions, Joe checking in on some up-to-the-minute new manga from Tatsuki Fujimoto, huge technical problems, Tucker losing his temper with Chris, Matt talking about the Punisher, and then they still find time to talk about the 80s DC supercreeps of Hawkworld. Get it on!

In this episode we discuss the Wild Cards Comic Books, vols 1-4. Show Notes These show notes are short and sweet, like we like our men. Jay does indeed wet the bed in Dead Man's Hand, after his Lovecraftian nightmare. No mention of rubber sheets there, though. Whether he is a habitual bedwetter is still unconfirmed. That milk ducts image isn't real, but they should still use it in the show. You have homework: watch Watchmen on Netflix, and watch The Boys on Amazon Prime. We are planning some episodes for those, maybe just for backers. Yep, our Patreon backers also get early access to all episodes, and special bonus episodes! So please back us at https://www.patreon.com/acesjokerspod THANK YOU Angeleah and Warren for being top tier Puppetmen backers. General Notes The only author consistently credited to these Wild Cards comic books is Lewis Shiner, though any author who created a particular character is credited too. Artists who worked on these issues were: Barry Kitson, Harry Candelario, Keith Williams, Jackson Guice, Marshall Rogers, Fred Fredricks, Lee Weeks, Tom Yeates, Michael Bair, Tim Truman, Larry Stroman, Doug Potter, Mark Nelson, Al Williamson, John Tartaglione, Mickey Ritter, Gray Morrow, Al Ramirez , Paul Mounts, Sam Parsons, Joseph Chiodo and John Van Fleet. Our fantastic theme tune is Ace Of Spades (8 Bit Remix Cover Version) by the great folks at 8 Bit Universe. Follow them on YouTube and Twitter. Email us with any questions, comments, or corrections at acesjokerswildcards@gmail.com, or find us on Twitter.
Just what does a First Comic smell like? Our panel ponders this and other questions inspired by GRIMJACK #1 (1984), written by John Ostrander with art by Tim Truman.
Freefall is such a massive, MASSIVE episode we had to break it two. As you know we not only breakdown the actual episode, but we love to look at the guest stars and music that were so important to Miami Vice. With Freefall's epic amount of music and guest stars we've broken them out into their own episode so next week we can focus just on the series finale of our beloved Vice. This week its all about the atmosphere of Freefall. John gives us the full breakdown on the guest stars, which surprisingly doesn't include Luis Guzman or Stanley Tucci. In music the Vice producers pulled it off. We get Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Mike Rutherford, and Chicago one more time. Over the last 3 years John has done an amazing job covering this aspect of Miami Vice and this is the final time we'll be looking at music and guest stars. Its one for the ages, standing ovation required. Become a Patron! Episode Information Miami Vice - Season 05 Ep. 21 - Freefall Premiered May 21, 1989 Music No Way Out by Tim Truman & Don Johnson Year Zero by King Swamp Cryin' Shame by Lyle Lovett and His Large Band Bugle Call Rag by the Glenn Miller Orchestra Ship of Fools by Robert Plant Land of Confusion by Genesis Bad Attitude by Honeymoon Suite Tell Me by Terry Kath Feedback Got some feedback?

Character Corner - A Podcast on Your favorite Comic Book Characters
%CODE_HAWKMAN% We took a little break but we’re finally back with another Character Corner. We still have to finish up our Peter Parker series but we wanted to take a bit of a detour from Marvel and head over to DC and cover one of the most confusing comic book character histories ever: Hawkman. Now you may be asking yourself “Why Hawkman? Why now?” And that’s a very valid question. Why would we tackle one of the most confusing comic book characters of all time at this point? The answer is simple: Scott Snyder’s Dark Knights: Metal. Snyder wrote an incredible 52 issues of Batman during New 52 and he’s now back with a series that not only answers questions about Batman but also Hawkman, Nth Metal and the rest of the DC Multiverse. While it’s a daunting task to take on Hawkman’s history (one that rarely works out), Snyder definitely has our attention with the first issue of Metal, as well as the preludes Dark Days: The Forge and The Casting. Carter Hall & the Golden Age Hawkman starts off relatively simple. Carter Hall first appears in Flash Comics #1 in 1940 as an archaeologist. After finding and touching an ancient knife that Egyptian priest Hath-Set used to kill his past self, Hall regains his memories of his past life. He realizes he is the reincarnation of Egyptian Prince Khufu. He meets up with Shiera, a woman who reminds him of a woman he saw in his dreams as Khufu who he believes to be Princess Chay-Ara, his long lost love. Using the mysterious metal, Nth Metal, they form harnesses that give them the power of flight. Throughout the years Nth metal has taken on many different qualities, from powering the harnesses the Hawks wear granting them flight to increased strength, regeneration powers and more. Silver Age Space Cop The Silver Age of DC comics brought us new versions of older Golden Age characters. Barry Allen replaces the Golden Age Flash Jay Garrick. Hal Jordan becomes the new Green Lantern replacing Alan Scott. The same happens to Hawkman, except DC gets a bit weird. Instead of making an entire new and easily distinguishable character, Brave and the Bold #34 debuts Katar Hol as the new Hawkman. Katar is an alien law enforcement officer from the planet Thanagar. Even worse, Katar and his wife Shayara (they didn’t even try with the names) take on the names Carter Hall and Shiera Saunders as their human secret identities. Adding even more confusion, Silver Age Carter and Shiera also work as archaeologists in a museum. Thus marking the beginning of the confusing history of Hawkman. See, Crisis On Infinite Earths establishes that both Katar Hol (using the alias Carter Hall) and the original Golden Age Carter Hall exist and operate (even met a few times). So now readers have two different Carter Halls to keep track of. But don’t worry, it gets even worse and more confusing. Hawkworld & Things Get Weird (well…weirder) In 1989, Tim Truman creates a three-issue miniseries called Hawkworld that seemingly retells the origin story of Katar Hol. The mini-series is later turned into an ongoing series written by John Ostrander. It’s a dark, gritty sto ry that gives us the hard-nosed origin of the Thanagarian cop. It’s really good and a recommended read. There’s only one problem: Instead of making this story a simple retelling of Hol’s origin, DC decides that this story was IN canon and happening currently. Problem with that was there was already a Katar Hol running around who was a member of the Justice League International. To fix that, DC claims that the first Katar Hol was actually a deep cover Thanagarian Agent named Fel Andar who married Sharon Parker, an Earth woman who was later mind wiped to believe she was Hawkwoman. Andar is later exposed and after killing Sharon, returns to Thanagar leaving behind their son Charlie to later cause Hawkman & Hawkgirl all kinds of problems (but now we’re getting ahead of ourselves). Now having made a complete and utter mess of Hawkman’s history,

Traveling through Arizona with his parents, writer Ben Truman got to thinking about scalps and the men who'd lost them. Had anyone ever survived a scalping? It's a lurid question, but a perfectly reasonable one to ask Ben's dad. Timothy Truman is well-versed in the darkest tales of the American west. He's scripted and pencilled stories for legendary gunslingers like the Lone Ranger, Jonah Hex and real-life outlaw Simon Girty. Tim had an answer for Ben, and they spent the rest of the ride planning the adventures of a scalpless old buzzard known as Kit Hawken and the ghosts at his heels. This week, Paul talks to the father and son creative team about their savage new shoot-em-up. You definitely won't want to miss Hawken #1.
