DC superstar Geoff Johns joins the Hammerverse with this creepy tale about a young boy who flees a kidnapper only to find himself trapped in the Cabin of Horrors and face-to-face with the mysterious Madame Dragonfly.
Black Hammer: Visions proves that Jeff Lemire's Black Hammer universe is rife with potential for great stories. There are plenty of untold adventures, making it easy for other writers to come in and tell their own story and flesh out the Black Hammer Universe a bit. I am eager to see what the other writers in this series will come up with. Read Full Review
If you need a reason as to why this Black Hammer anthology series is necessary, Visions #2 proves exactly why it deserves a spot on your pull list. Read Full Review
Scott Kolins delivers some great, atmospheric visuals in this issue. The imagery is beautifully done and emphasizes the tone and the terror of the story. Read Full Review
I've seen enough horror movies to know that nothing good comes out of a trip to the woods. Black Hammer: Visions #2 provides yet another reason to stay indoors. You never know when you might stumble across a mysterious cabin and get sucked into different worlds. Horror comes to the Black Hammer Universe. Read Full Review
Dark Horse's BLACK HAMMER: VISIONS #2 is flat and emotionless. We're presented with characters that feel empty. They don't have a past, they barely have a present, and we're left not caring about their future. Every moment of horror is like a jump scare. It's cheap, brief and ultimately not scary in its own right. Read Full Review
Geoff Johns is the master of homage. I didn't know his palette extended to horror. Consider myself schooled. Short, sweet, and utterly creepy. The way horror comics should be written, Ram V should take some notes.

I have my hopes up for Zdarsky's upcoming issue but the first two issues of this series have been a bust for me. I love Black Hammer with all my heart as written by Lemire. Somehow, maybe by comparison, every BH comic by another writer has left me cold. It's not because I'm against other writers writing Lemire's characters--I would love to see other writers kick ass in the BH universe. For me, they just haven't yet, to the extent that they don't even feel like Black Hammer comics to me. In fairness, Lemire does set the bar incredibly high.
It doesn't seem all that long ago that Geoff Johns was a truly great comic book writer. Then he went to Hollywood, screwed a bunch of stuff up over there, and hasn't had his comic writing mojo more
