Black Hammer #6 has opened up even more mystery for us. Something is very wrong and Im curious to find out exactly what it is.

Its all very interesting and Im actually finding it hard to guess what is going to happen, which makes me even more intrigued. Do yourself a favour and grab a copy ASAP and step into Madame Dragonflys Cabin of Horrors. Read Full Review
Black Hammer delivers some strong material once again as I'm definitely excited to learn more about Madame Dragonfly and the weirdness behind her story. Each of these characters could easily maintain their own book in this style while exploring their pasts that I'm torn between wanting that and wanting these tighter explorations. There's a lot going on here in exploring the past and how trapped everyone is in different ways and a new arrival is going to shake things up by asking more questions and setting more things askew. I'm excited to see what's going to come next, something few books get me to say these days. Read Full Review
Black Hammer is absolutely my favorite title on the market right now. Lemire is doing some high level meta-writing that continues to entrance me issue after issue. Now, after six spectacular issues, someone else has cleared the breach and we may, finally, find out exactly what type of crisis it was that shunted our heroes to their brave new world.

“Black Hammer” continues to be working on a level higher than every other series in this genre. Lemire, Ormston and Stewart are doing something so special here and every comic book reader should be taking notice. Read Full Review
The art by Dean Ormston is much darker than previous issues. That darker tone works well for the issue given the dark and tragic nature of Madame Dragonfly's tale. Despite the dark tone, there are a few bright spots in Ormston's art as well. Read Full Review
This will probably be the last issue for a while and it leaves us with a lot to think about. Overall I've enjoyed this series. It wears its influences on it's sleeve, bouncing from genre to genre in the same way a party host gives guests the full house tour. I feel as though we have now just finished the tour and we're set to spending some time in this world they've made. I'm looking forward to getting comfortable. Read Full Review
GOOOOOOOSH I love this world so much. Each issue adds more layers of mystery while delivering bits of answers to previous puzzles. Furthermore the character development has far exceeded my unreasonably high expectations leaving me simply shocked that more people aren't reading this.
This has been my favorite series of 2016, very original and every issue just grabs you. This issue adds that old timey feel and style to a series that has seemed very much like a throwback all along. Looking forward to what's coming next!
Another great issue. I really liked the narrative frame Lemire sets up with Lady Dragonfly, kind of a nod to the old hosts of b-movie thrillers. And Dragonfly's chapter added another layer of mystery to the book. One of the great things about this title is the way that individual issues function on their own to get contribute to the greater work. In my opinion, "Black Hammer" is the most consistently awesome series coming out today.
Awesome series, move the tone- there's a bit of everything: action, memories, time passing, mystery, loneliness, drama, romance, horror. It's spectacular that all this rolls into one organic breathing world! Yes it's nostalgic but it re-evaluates and surprises constantly, there is always an interesting spin on things. The next issue is an annual and is also brilliant even when handed to other artists, such quality writing underpins it all. I can't wait to find out more about The missing character named Black Hammer! Superb.
