Black Hammer Library Edition #2

This handsome library edition of Jeff Lemire and Dean Ormston's Eisner Award–winning series presents an arresting cover — a masked woman's silhouette contains an entire glowing cityscape, a blood-red moon, and a disembodied eye floating in a smoky night sky, all rendered in painterly tones by Ormston that feel both grounded and genuinely strange. Scott Snyder calls it "an epic, gripping superhero mystery, and a heartfelt meditation on why superheroes matter," and the surreal imagery here makes that description feel exactly right. With Tate Brombal, Rich Tommaso, Emi Lenox, Dave Stewart, and Todd Klein rounding out the creative team, this 2020 hardcover is a generous way to experience one of the more thoughtful superhero universes in contemporary comics.
