Family turmoil takes a toll on Black Hammer Farm as Lucy and Rose go head-to-head over their family legacy while at the same time multi-dimensional conflicts emerge that may pull our heroes out of limbo. Black Hammer: The End is the next era of the Black Hammer Universe; a six-issue event series by Jeff Lemire and Malachi Ward that pulls the Black Hammer world into crisis.
The plot doesn't move forward all too much but with a script on display like this one, this is comics at its best. Read Full Review
Black Hammer doesn't go into some really big fights or huge moments here as the biggest moment is the reveal at the very end that's just a bit of text. But what this issue does is to deliver some good character material and highlight the scale of the battle ahead. More time with this cobbled-together team is intriguing but there's also the power of the argument between Lucy and Rose which showcases how Lucy has done her best to just not be involved with all of this, often for good reason, but the ripple effect of it as well. I'm not looking forward to losing more stories of these characters when this series ends but I'm enjoying the time I get to spend with them here and seeing them work through all the complications that come from everything that has happened before. Definitely exciting times ahead. Read Full Review

Inspector Insector is the best.
After reading the debut issue as my first experience with the Black Hammer franchise, the second issue provide more context and world-building that filled in some gaps. Jeff Lemire and Malachi Ward and providing such a smart meta-commentary on the superhero/multiverse trope that is undeniably enjoyable and such an easy read to jump into for new fans.
