Black Hammer: The End #1

The title says it all — Black Hammer: The End #1 kicks off what promises to be a major culmination of Jeff Lemire's beloved saga, with Malachi Ward delivering a cover that crackles with psychic unease. At the center, a figure clutches their head and screams in anguish, surrounded by a swirling constellation of faces — heroic, monstrous, and eerily blank — pressing in from every direction like memories refusing to stay buried. Ward's teal-and-violet palette gives the whole image a dreamlike, slightly unsettling glow that perfectly captures the emotional weight this series carries into 2023.
