Black Hammer: The End #2

There's something quietly haunting about this cover — a masked, suited figure sits alone against a birch tree in an autumn woodland, holding what appears to be a small object, surrounded by warm golds and cool purples that feel both peaceful and melancholy. Malachi Ward's art captures the contemplative, small-town-superhero atmosphere that makes the Black Hammer universe so distinctive. Jeff Lemire and Ward continue "The End" with this second chapter from Dark Horse, and the solitary figure in the forest suggests there's still plenty of emotional weight left to reckon with.
