I'm trying to think about all of the Hawkgirl awesome I could link to and post, including pages upon pages of her kicking ungodly amounts of ass and/or exhibiting other kinds of pwnage, and coming up with literally hundreds of examples, but since I'm pressed for time, I'll cite just a few. I'm picking things where she's not talking, just for fun. I really wanted to post her epic final fight (epic as in...building up for five millennia) with Hath-Set, because it involves her slicing someone in half top to bottom vertically and gallons of blood soaking the panels, but I don't have the issues with me here at work to scan in. So, here's just a small selection of what I have on hand:
Kendra meets Roy Harper: one of the greatest Hawkgirl pages from Brad Meltzer's run on the Justice League of America book. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/orophinsgloss/Hawkgirl/kendraroy-1.jpg) The fact that she doesn't say anything at all on this page cracks me up every single time that I read it.
Next up: One of Alex Ross's gorgeous paintings of Hawkgirl and Hawkman. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/orophinsgloss/Hawkgirl/ross_hawks-1.jpg) I love this painting so much that it hurts. Ross is a Golden God.
This Hawkman cover tells you so much about Kendra: Even with her hands and wrists sliced to ribbons and covered with bandages, she's *still* coming to kick your ass. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/orophinsgloss/Hawkgirl/Hawkgirl.jpg)
Kendra had a rather spectacular cameo in a recent issue of Gail Simone's Birds of Prey. Four pages of imminent and then actual epic pwnage:
What is that-...oh, S**T! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/orophinsgloss/Hawkgirl/104-9.png)
Which leads to Kendra about to mete out an asskicking to Vandal Savage's daughter:
I don't know who you are, lady... (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/orophinsgloss/Hawkgirl/105-3.png)
...but you've just awoken the Hawk. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/orophinsgloss/Hawkgirl/105-4.png)
From the OTP front: My OTP has mid-air hot smexing sessions. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v372/orophinsgloss/Hawkgirl/hawkmanandhawkgirl.jpg) Does yours? Beautiful painted prettiness.
I apologize for the poor quality of the below pic, but I don't have the particular issue at hand at work to scan in a higher quality version, so had to rely on Google to find the following panel: Barbarian Kendra, drawn by the incomparable Rags Morales!
I love this picture, because it captures her essence to a T. (http://image.comicvine.com/uploads/item/7000/6903/4585-hawkgirl_400.jpg)
As does this one, which is for those of you curious to see what's under the mask. (http://image.comicvine.com/uploads/item/7000/6903/129861-hawkgirl_400.jpg)
Finally, Kendra's softer side - here's a panel that I adore, showing Kendra with little Lian Harper, Roy Harper's (Red Arrow's) daughter:
