Feb 13, 2021An 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

Feb 10, 2021Dark 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

But Why Tho? - Collier "CJ" Jennings
Feb 08, 2021Black Hammer: Visions #1 presents a moving and darkly hilarious tale that fans of the Black Hammer universe will enjoy, courtesy of Patton Oswalt, Dean Kotz, and Jason Wordie. Other creators are slated to present tales for Visions in the future, including Chip Zdarsky (Daredevil) and Kelly Thompson (Black Widow) among them. I'm looking forward to those tales, and to see what the other creators do with the world ofBlack Hammer. Read Full Review

Feb 10, 2021Compared to other Black Hammer, it's toned down and the pace moves at a crawl"that might be for the best here. The end result is an intense character study into the foul-mouthed hero that takes the form of a kid, even though she's actually an adult. Read Full Review
