I recall that the Hawkworld mini-series wasn’t intended to be the lead-in to the ongoing series. It was more like a Hawkman: Year One story. Then it was successfull enough that DC turned it into an ongoing series that started where the mini ended. That choice is what messed up Hawkman continuity so much.

Hawkworld is an excellent self-contained series. It was just “bad guy escaped to some green planet somewhere” that was setting it up the series a little bit too much…

Hawkworld’s something that I take down regularly to read again. I remember liking it just fine when it first came out, but with rereads it’s become one of my favourite books. I especially like fall and redemption in the second issue, and the cool calculatedness Katar evolves into in the third. I’d have to disagree about it setting up too much for the ongoing. I’ve always thought that this series stood well on its own, and that it was almost unfortunate that they had to follow it up at all. That said, this was a Hawkman that I would’ve liked to have continued reading about, but the Hawkworld ongoing never quite captured my imagination in the same way.
