Black Hammer #2
This second volume of Jeff Lemire and Dean Ormston's acclaimed superhero saga continues the story of the exiled heroes trapped on a strange farm, delving deeper into the mysteries of their imprisonment and the events that led to their downfall. Collecting issues #5–8 of the series, it expands the world of Black Hammer with a focus on the character-driven drama and genre-bending twists that define the run.
In "Black Hammer Falls!", Jeff Lemire and Dean Ormston dive deeper into the mysteries of the Black Hammer universe, revealing a poignant flashback that redefines Gail’s past with a surprising twist involving her longtime adversary, Sherlock Frankenstein. On the farm, Lucy’s discovery at the local library and Colonel Weird’s dramatic destruction of Walky-Talky set the stage for something far more unsettling—without giving anything away, the quiet of the farm is about to shatter. The story is illustrated with haunting detail by Dean Ormston, colored with atmospheric precision by Dave Stewart, and lettered with care by Todd Klein, while the cover by Ormston captures the weight of this turning point in bold, evocative strokes.
In "null," Gail reflects on her unexpected romance with Sherlock Frankenstein after stepping away from the Golden Family, while on the farm, Lucy stumbles upon something unsettling at the local library and Colonel Weird dismantles Walky-Talky in a moment of quiet fury.
In "null," Abraham Slam grapples with the weight of being a legacy hero in a world that’s moved on, his attempts to modernize his image revealing how out of step he’s become. On the farm, Barbalien misreads a quiet moment of connection, his confusion blurring the line between camaraderie and something deeper. Meanwhile, Earl’s presence looms over Tammy, his words carrying a tension that threatens to unravel the fragile peace.
In a forgotten chapter of their past, Abraham Slam, Madame Dragonfly, Golden Gail, Barbalien, and Colonel Weird answer Starlok’s call to face the Anti-God. Now, decades later, the weight of that legacy returns as Lucy steps into the role of the Black Hammer.
