Nevets Faulkner Presents: The New Warriors Continuity Conundrum 
DARK HAWK RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been collecting Darkhawk for a long time. Thank you for you list. It has helped me find the rest of his appearances. Spiderman Friends and Enemies is proving especially difficult. There are some you are missing on the list, even if they are out of continuity:
Marvel Team Up 15-18
The MAX War Machine appearances
The What If Spiderman’s Parents Had Lived issue
Marvel Zombies Dead Days one shot
And Cameos
Mighty Avengers #1
He will also be on the cover of Avengers Classics #1 (coming soon).
Let me know if you find any more.
Check out the Alternate Realities section for a lot of those. It’s listed under Pages in the side menu.
I didn’t know about his cameo in Mighty Avengers #1. Thank you!
Just to let you know that Darkhawk {as well as Dagger & Speedball AND NOT as PENANCE..!!} appeared in the DEADPOOL/GLI SUMMER SPECIAL; but from the 2099 Timeline……so it’s your decision whether you wish to place their appearance either within their own checklists or the Alternate Realities sections…….
JIC there’re those that’re still wanting to keep tracks of any of the Warriors/Loners/Initiative Appearances {especially those that missed out of some of the recent NW activities} comes the following Info…….
DARKHAWK has made an appearance within NOVA #17 {AND will be appearing within Issues #18 & #21 of said Series…. 😉 }.
DH will almost certainly appear in Nova 19 (and maybe 20).
Also apparently he appears on a screen in mighty avengers 12.
And of course there’s Darkhawk: War of Kings 1 and 2 in 2009!
DH has appeared recently in:
WAR OF KINGS: DARKHAWK #1(of 2) – “Haunted”
WAR OF KINGS: DARKHAWK #2 (of 2)
WAR OF KINGS: ASCENSION #1 (of 4) – “Dark Matters: The Secret of the Darkhawks part one”
WAR OF KINGS: ASCENSION #2 (of 4) – “Null and Void” The Secret of the Darkhawks part two
WAR OF KINGS ASCENSION #3 (of 4) – “The End of All Things” The Secret of the Darkhawks part three
WAR OF KINGS: ASCENSION #4 (of 4) – “Fugitive” The Secret of the DarkHawks Conclusion
WAR OF KINGS #4 (of 6) – “King Takes Queen”
NOVA v5 #30 – “Krushed”
NOVA v5 #31 – “Most Wanted”
NOVA v5 #32 – “Riddle of the Sphinx”
NOVA v5 #33 – “The Book of the Dead” – Riddle of the Sphinx Part 2
NOVA v5 #34
I think that is everything completely up to date!
Cheers.
James.
Ok… so, I’m doing my best to collect all the issues on here (big Darkhawk fan) and I had Avengers/JLA #4 before i started my collection. I just looked at every panel and not one features Darkhawk. How come this issue is on the list?
Hi Anthony, I’m still searching for my copy but I remember him being buried in one single panel. George Perez took great pains to include every Avenger and Justice League member ever in the story, so I know he appears somewhere.
I don’t know who runs the site, but you shouldn’t forget to add Darkhawk #51 and the issues Darkhawk will be involved in with the Infinity Countdown 🙂
I’m running the site now and working on filling gaps from 2010 until now, so it will take some time to get to these issues. I will add them now as unconfirmed appearances. Thank you!
