Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. To be honest I didn't really know what I was getting into when I decided to acquire this book. I just love Dean Ormston's art. Black Hammer takes place after the "golden age" of superheroes has ended, and the survivors are consigned to a rural limbo from which they cannot escape. Meanwhile, the daughter of one of them is convinced they are still alive somewhere, and is determined to find them. At first I was taken aback by the fact that all of the heroes are, shall we say, inspired by superheroes from other companies (mostly DC but there is some Marvel in there.) Golden Gail is Captain Marvel/Shazam, Barbalien is Martian Manhunter, Randall Weird is Adam Strange, and so on. Some of them are so on the nose that they feel more like swipes than homages. The villain from which they saved the world is obviously Darkseid. Others are more obscure; it took me a while to realize that Dragonfly was Madame Xanadu. I was disappointed that I wasn't getting something totally original. Eventually I did find myself involved in the story and characters on their own merits. The only problem is that in the fourteen issues collected here, there isn't a whole lot of story (a good portion of the book is spent recounting their origins), and things seem to just be getting started at the end. I'll continue with the second volume and hope for some resolution there. A modern day classic in the making. This book will keep you guessing and coming back for more. Jeff lemire does a fantastic job giving life to these characters he's created while paying homage to the Golden Age of comics where these characters were heavily influenced by. I personally cannot wait to read more. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Ten years ago, the heroes of Spiral City came together to defeat Anti-God and were subsequently thought killed in the final battle. In fact, they found themselves transported to Rockwood, an idyllic small town that seems too good to be true; if you scratch the surface of the town too deeply, you’ll start to discover flaws. Where is Rockwood? Why is there a perimeter around the town that if crossed, means certain death?
I’ve read the first two Library Editions, collecting the first run of the series, and the subsequent Age of Doom storyline, and will be picking up the third Library Edition when it releases later this year. In the meantime, I’ve got several tie-in miniseries to work my way through.
If you’re a fan of offbeat superhero comics that are not your typical superhero comics and you haven’t read BLACK HAMMER yet, fix that. There are so many clever nods to so many mainstream characters and plots, and there is even some meta-building with the characters knowing they are part of a story and can still have an affect on that story’s outcome; the whole thing just had me hooked from the beginning. I love my “traditional” superhero comics, but these deconstructed stories, when done well, can really make you rethink the entire medium.
