The Eisner Award-winning superhero saga returns in this ongoing series
picking up twenty years later with new series artist Caitlin
Yarsky.
In 1986, Black Hammer and the rest of Spiral City's greatest superheroes
seemingly died defeating the cosmic despot known as Anti-God and saving
the world. But one woman refused to believe they were truly gone: Lucy
Weber, the daughter of Black Hammer. Learning that her dad had
sacrificed himself to save the other heroes, Lucy soon took up the
mantle of Black Hammer and carried on the legacy of her father as the
world's greatest superhero.
Now, it's twenty years later, and Lucy, and the world, have moved on.
Living in the suburbs of Spiral City, Lucy is married and has children.
But all is not blissful. Her marriage is falling apart, her job has
reached a dead end, and for mysterious reasons, she hasn't picked up the
hammer in years. But, as her domestic life begins to crumble, the
secrets of the last twenty years, and the reasons Lucy really gave up
being Black Hammer, begin to resurface, threatening her family, and the
peace she has tried hard to find for herself.
Black Hammer: Reborn is the next era of the Black Hammer Universe; a
twelve-issue series by Jeff Lemire and Caitlin Yarsky that juxtaposes an
achingly human story of domestic life, marriage, parenthood, and destiny
with a pulse-pounding superhero thriller that peels back new layers of
mystery, and pulls the Black Hammer history into the present.
Collects Black Hammer: Reborn #1-#4.
