Books like Black Hammer, Vol. 2: The Event

4.25ish stars.Maybe my favorite on-going title. Great character work and a solid, clever plot that deftly balances Golden Age superheroes with New Age struggles. It makes the '90s flashbacks feel like the '40s but it works. This is a big improvement over the first volume; now that the character studies are out of the way, it leaves a lot of room to delve into the plot and expand personalities. Good artwork, not my personal favorite, but it works well for the story, and I appreciate the artistic differences between the flashbacks and the current storyline. Looking forward to future installments.Posted in Mr. Philip's Library
