Black Hammer: Age of Doom

In Black Hammer: Age of Doom (2018–2019, Dark Horse), writer Jeff Lemire and artists Dean Ormston and Rich Tommaso bring the acclaimed superhero saga to its harrowing conclusion. Trapped in a mysterious, idyllic farmworld, the forgotten heroes of Spiral City confront the terrifying truth behind their exile and the godlike being who controls their reality. This 12-issue series deepens the existential dread and emotional stakes of the original run, unraveling the cosmic mystery with Lemire’s signature melancholy and Ormston’s hauntingly expressive art. It’s a pivotal chapter that redefines the series’ legacy as a thoughtful deconstruction of superhero mythology.
