Doctor Star & the Kingdom of Lost Tomorrows: From the World of Black Hammer by Jeff Lemire

5.0

This is a perfect little miniseries. You don’t need to know anything about Black Hammer really. It would be good to have read James Robinson’s Starman or at least know about it. I read it years ago and didn’t get the hype, and I got rid of the hardcovers unfortunately; I’m sure I’d appreciate it more now. Anyway, there’s a ton of story crammed into these four short issues, and it’s not in a wordy way. Jeff Lemire really is the best at portraying sadness in comics. Max Fiamura is a favorite, and he’s joined by frequent collaborator Dave Stewart, and it’s sublime.
