Black Hammer #12

David Rubín's cover for this Will Eisner Award–winning series ("Best New Series 2017") places a young, curly-haired figure at the center of a chamber crammed with tubes, cables, and enormous capsules housing preserved superhero figures — including a glowing green villain-like form and a chained, muscular giant — as a speech bubble proclaims, "Welcome to the Hall of Hammer!" Jeff Lemire and Rubín have built something genuinely special with Black Hammer, and issue #12 suggests the series is digging deeper into its rich mythology of lost heroes and hidden histories. If you've been following this Eisner-honored saga, this visually dense, warmly strange cover promises another rewarding chapter.
