DC Comics and Dark Horse Comics present the ultimate superhero crossover event of 2019! After a mysterious stranger warps reality, the out-of-practice Black Hammer heroes must contend with both Starro and the rest of the DC universe. Meanwhile, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Cyborg try to adjust to life on Black Hammer Farm, while Colonel Weird and the Green Lantern try to uncover the secret behind this reality swap and the strange man who started it all.
Hammer of Doom is a fun book that is equal parts tragedy, humour, and thoughtful deconstruction of the comic book art form. Knowing Lemire's love for the DCU, I knew that this crossover event would be something special, and Lemire is fulfilling my expectations admirably. Read Full Review
The story is smart and fresh. Lemire really knows what he is doing here. So does artist Michael Walsh. He is one of the best in the business. This book is a delight. I'm sad that it's only five issues for this story. Read Full Review
Im stoked to learn how Barry sacrificed himself, what Cyborgs theories lead to for the rest of the story and more hilarious moments between the dysfunctional Black Hammer and the complex but mostly stable League members. Whatever crazy cosmic multiverse shenanigans ensue next I'm onboard for this wild ride. Read Full Review
This team has done amazing things so far with this series, the slow build is agonizing but the attention to detail in Black Hammer/Justice League #2 is killer. The way each character is brought to life in words and form is sheer perfection, and I cannot wait to find out just what happened to cause one Leaguer to be missing from the story completely. Jeff Lemire and Michael Walsh have done an astounding job of making an entertaining comic, and I look forward to what's still to come. Read Full Review
This book shouldn't be overlooked while you're buying your books at your local shop. Read Full Review
One of the most ambitious comic book series in the past decade and proof that there is still room for originality in the superhero genre. Read Full Review
A strong, character-driven narrative that shows the pain people trying to be something they aren't go through. Read Full Review
The second issue of the series works better for me than the first since that had to deal with setup and there was some uncertainty with it as to the approach that Jeff Lemire was taking. I do like what's going on here and am getting into the groove of it well now that the interactions are picking up. Read Full Review
Though a bit toned down from the last issue, this title is still interesting as all get out"there's no denying that. Read Full Review
It's a slower burn than I'd like, but it seems to be going somewhere interesting, and it looks pretty great. Read Full Review
While the ingredients to Justice League/ Black Hammer: Hammer of Justice #2 seem to work amazingly together, the result is just meh. Read Full Review
Great read so far. As usual, LOVE Golden Gail! Silly hero, you can't use profanity in the DCU.
Jeff Lemire still really knows how to write an engaging superhero experience.
Cool story. Colonel Weird is awesome.
One thing I know about Jeff Lemire is that he's not your average comic book writer. I always welcome crossovers especially from 2 entirely different franchises. I'm not very familiar with Dark Horse Comics' Black Hammer Universe but I'm an avid DC reader so naturally this caught my attention. Issue #1 was Different, the Crossover Element is an added bonus it presented some of the interesting Black Hammer characters nicely for new readers like me, this issue is no exception. I loved the artwork here and I thought it's well done than the first one.
