Black Hammer #7

Snow falls quietly over a cemetery where a young girl clutching flowers stands before a grave marked "R.I.P. Joseph Weber — Black Hammer," while the towering, hammer-wielding figure of Black Hammer looms as a ghostly presence behind her — it's a genuinely moving image that sets a melancholy, reflective tone unlike most superhero covers of its era. Jeff Lemire and Dean Ormston's series has always balanced the weight of heroism with deeply human loss, and this seventh issue leans into that emotional contrast with real confidence. Dave Stewart's muted, wintry palette ties the whole scene together beautifully, making this one of the more quietly affecting covers in the run.
