Exiled in a world of forgotten heroes and villains known as Limbo Land, Ms. Moonbeam hopes one day to be released and put back into a main story of her own-all of that gets thrown into a major existential crisis with the arrival of Colonel Weird into her world, leading her on a quest to find her way out of Limbo Land.
Black Hammer: Visions #7 is an offbeat exploration involving one of the stranger corner's of Jeff Lemire's universe. But it's no less less exciting than any of the other stories in this miniseries. This story has me hoping that Lemire will do more with the Limbo concept in the future. Read Full Review
