An exciting reimagination of the Eisner Award-winning Black Hammer series told by guest writers and artists such as Patton Oswalt, Geoff Johns, Mariko Tamaki, Chip Zdarsky, Kelly Thompson, and more of comic's top talents!
Patton Oswalt joins artists Dean Kotz and Jason Wordie to explore the life of youthful super heroine Golden Gail on the Black Hammer Farm before the beginning of Black Hammer #1, and her struggle to maintain sanity as a middle-aged woman trapped in the unchanging body of a superpowered grade-schooler.
An entertaining one shot, Black Hammer: Visions #1 posits a mystery, but uses it to reveal something about the nature of friendship against the backdrop of school. Eunice and Barbara are as different from each other as they can be, but that doesn't matter, as shared experiences have forged a friendship with meaning. Read Full Review

Dark Horse's BLACK HAMMER: VISIONS #1 is an empathetic and warm look at high school graduations. It follows Eunice and Barbara, two girls whose lives are changing. But Oswalt, Kotz, Wordie and Piekos never talk down to these characters. Instead, they remind us what it was like for us to graduate high school. They show that it doesn't take Armageddon for worlds to end. Sometimes it just requires moving on, as hard as it may be. Read Full Review
