A review by dozmuttz
Black Hammer Library Edition Volume 1 by Jeff Lemire

5.0

An Amazing and beautiful love letter to the gold and silver age of comics. Jeff Lemire takes something that just seems to be a copy and turns it totally original. All the characters are written with great depth that we’ve seen with the characters they’re based off while still having a unique twist. The story and plot is simple but yet massive and gets you sucked in ! This is my first Jeff Lemire Read and I only hope he writes like this in all his stories. I can’t wait to explore more of the ‘Black Hammer’ world and get more sucked in. I’m only sad that the story is over. Although I heard he might come back and write more. I sure hope so ! Plus Dean Ormston’s artwork just fits so perfectly with Jeff’s story telling. It wasn’t my go to artwork but I fell in love with it the more I read. It’s very mysterious, dark, and very simple. But just like the concept of this story the art is simple but still unique with a twist! Some shots being so awesome you just gotta admire the page after reading. Can’t wait to read the other volumes !
