As Jane's world is turned upside down and she learns the true nature of her identity she discovers a sinister plot leading more
The Unbelievable Unteens #1 introduces us to another fascinating Black Hammer title. It has an eerie tone that feels a bit different than previous titles. But Lemire has built a rich universe with room for different styles of stories. And I am sure that this title will every bit as great as his other Black Hammer books. Read Full Review
Wow. Ive enjoyed the Black Hammer Universe of comics overall, but The Unbelievable Unteens feels special. Its got an excellent metafictional concept that caters right to people who spend much of their time doing comics things, executed to near perfection by Tyler Crook. Read Full Review
Jeff Lemire and Tyler Crook team up for yet another winner in the Black Hammer lineup with The Unbelievable Unteens #1. Read Full Review
The Unbelievable Unteens #1 is the perfect comic for readers who have Chris Claremont, Joe Matt, and definitely Alan Moore on their bookshelves. Jeff Lemire and Tyler Crook also put Jane Ito on the first steps of a reality-blurring emotional journey and give us a good gauge on her temperament before throwing her in the deep end of a genre shift that is reflected powerfully by the comic's art style and color palette.

It's no surprise that we have another strong opening issue to a Black Hammer universe book. The Unbelievable Unteens gives us plenty to work with both in who they are, their disappearance, and what they could possibly in this new incarnation when they're all found and whatever secrets are out there are revealed. Lemire's scripts work really well with the dialogue and you really end up liking Jack a whole lot from the start. Crook's artwork is perfect for this kind of story and I can easily see reading about this group for some time to come based on the initial elements we get here and the potential for what they can be. Easily recommended. Read Full Review
I don't want to call it "peak sequential storytelling" or anything quite like that, but you can definitely tell when creators are having a blast making a comic book"and that's abundantly apparent in the pages of Lemire and Crook's The Unbelievable Unteens #1. Read Full Review
By the end of issue #1 of the Unbelievable Unteens, I think you will have enjoyed everything you read, and like me will be hyped to learn what happens next with Jane and her creations. Jane is coming to grips with what her new normal is, and going along for the ride with her I can already tell will be both scary and powerful. Read Full Review
Lemire at his best. And Crookâs art is always a guarantee. Highly recommend, especially for black hammer fans
A pretty cool premise, can't wait to see what's next!
Another strong start for a BLACK HAMMER expansion!
