Black Hammer Reborn #6

Four strange figures occupy separate panes of a cell-like grid on Caitlin Yarsky's cover: a masked, hose-faced figure crouching in one corner, a wide-mouthed shark-headed creature looming in another, a round, cocooned being with hollow eyes in the lower left, and a lone white-haired man sitting quietly against a wall with tally marks scratched behind him. It's a quietly unsettling image that captures the offbeat, character-driven world Jeff Lemire, Malachi Ward, and Matthew Sheean have built in Black Hammer Reborn — a superhero universe where isolation and strangeness go hand in hand. Issue #6 from Dark Horse's 2021 run continues to show why this series rewards readers who appreciate something a little different.
