Things have gotten crazy in Black Hammer! First a parallel Spiral City collided with the actual one, spawning a multiverse nightmare of heroes and villains from both worlds going to war, and now Lucy Weber picks back up the mantle of Black Hammer and teams up with Skulldigger for answers on how to end the madness.
Jeff Lemire's story is leading to something major as Black Hammer Reborn nears the final issue. And clearly, Lucy's decision will be a major turning point in the story. Lemire is doing a masterful job at building up to the Second Cataclysm. And the wait between issues seems interminable. I am really eager to see where this all is leading. Read Full Review
Black Hammer: Reborn #9 is the biggest proof of the idea this series will always have your back. Read Full Review
With the sense that a lot of the Black Hammer world is close to wrapping up, there's a good feeling about this in what it's tackling and how it can re-align things by the end so that if Lemire ever decides to return to it, there's a host of possibilities to it. I'm glad to have Caitlin Yarsky back on the art duties for this installment as I like their take on things and just the larger feel of the book works well here, especially the recap narration elements and just how it's presented, reminding me of a lot of things I read in my younger years.

Thing's are crazy bananas!
I gotta say that this artstyle is just not working for me, it feels too empty and not in a good clean-pop-up sort of way.
Lemire though continues to play into the meta aspects of this title, maybe a little harder than usual, while it's big and bombastic in story, he never loses sight of the emotional cores. Reborn feels like a silver age title more than ever.
