Black Hammer: Spiral City #1

A mysterious, masked figure in a long coat and wide-brimmed hat stands amid the rubble of a devastated Spiral City, crumbling skyscrapers looming through a gray haze behind them — it's a striking opening image for this 2024 Dark Horse series. Jeff Lemire returns to the Black Hammer universe with artist Teddy Kristiansen, whose muted, weathered palette gives the cover an atmosphere somewhere between noir thriller and post-apocalyptic fable. If this first chapter's tone matches its cover, "Spiral City" promises to be one of the more haunting corners of Lemire's ever-expanding superhero world.
