Reviews

[Siona Adams · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm really excited to see where the anti-God plot goes. It sucks that the next issue will be the last one until next spring, but at least there will be some other titles in the universe soon.

[F Line · Rating 2 out of 5]

While I have really enjoyed the serious thus far this issue was a little bit of a letdown.

Black Hammer seems to be a much better soap opera- or at least a comic driven by character dynamics than mystery story. On top of this Lucy is one of the least interesting/developed actors.

2 stars might be a little harsh but this issue was just a lot less engaging than most of the others. I feel like its probably the lull before the storm though...
