Comment: Hawkman and Hawkwoman's appearance in this story contradicts their retcon as seen in the Hawkworld series. According to that series the Hawkman that joined the League in issues #19 was a Thanagarian spy. He however escaped at the end of Invasion! and can therefore not be present in this story.
