Lucy Weber has been searching for her father for years, and when he finally appears at her door, he turns out to be from an evil dimension-will she take his Faustian offer to be a family again or face off to prove there can only be one Black Hammer?!
The previous issues have been building up to a major event of cosmic proportions. And as we are heading into the final issues of the Black Hammer Reborn, we will see if Lemire's Second Cataclysm will live up to the build-up it's received. I fully expect that it will, and Lemire hasn't disappointed me yet. Read Full Review
The Black Hammer universe has gotten so big and complicated that it has now entered multiverse territory. And this series ranks up there with the best multiverse stories of all time – from Crisis on Infinite Earths to Spider-man: No Way Home. Read Full Review
Black Hammer is going full crisis here and throwing all kinds of things at us that are definitely intriguing and, yes, comical. I do love that aspect as there's a real Zoo Crew feeling here that delights me to no end. Lemire keeps his core focus on what Lucy is going through and that's to the story's advantage in a big way as we've been through thick and thin with her for so long now. Watching her face this problem of her “father” and what he represents is definitely not something she expected to face, though a subconscious fear may have been there. It's a solid installment that ups the ante more and looks great as Yarsky gets to have a ton of fun with all the variations. Read Full Review
I know for certain I didn't have to read those back up stories that were a prominent b-side a few issues ago, and I am happy to see that was not included at the end of this book. Side stories typically take away from focus on the main story, water down the importance of the A-side, so I'm glad to see that things are back to normal as much as they can be in this weird-ass publication that I never want to end.

The mysteries of the Black Hammer universe come to a head here, in heartbreaking fashion. Read Full Review
An unsurprising cliffhanger but an emotional throughline that works for most of the issue.
Multi-verses are all the rage and Reborn is an excellent addition into the concept.
