Black Hammer: Visions #3

NegativesI originally had some reservations about the idea of other authors taking on Lemire's characters. However, each issue of this series so far has proven those fears to be unfounded. So far each writer has found something to add, while still being respectful of the Lemire's creations. Read Full Review

Christmas does a great job with the art in this issue. The style is great and perfect for both the characters and the tone of the story. I loved the character designs a lot. Read Full Review

Chip Zdarsky and company tell the typical "disgruntled old man" tale, injecting fresh ideas in it at just the right places. Read Full Review

As this universe has done from the start, "Black Hammer Visions" #3 both challenges and embraces the superhero genre. Read Full Review

Dark Horse's BLACK HAMMER: VISIONS #3 is a simple and charming story, much like the first of this series. It tells the story of Abraham Slam trying to teach himself it's okay to retire. It's a pleasant addition to the BLACK HAMMER Universe. Read Full Review

Getting older is never easy and it's even tougher for Abraham Slam when a young upstart takes on his super hero persona. He can't swing as hard as he used to, but that doesn't mean he's not a hero. Read Full Review

It's not your standard ranch stash of comics, but it's a really good story and it goes perfectly with the established 'Black Hammer' universe. I really like this issue. Read Full Review

Well I don't know who any of these people were but I am helpless to do anything but love and respect Chip.

Zdarsky does what he does best : puts superheroes through the Ringer. Felt like I was watching Hollis Mason get beat to death all over again. Matter of fact, the funeral scene had shades of the Comedian written all over it as well ... Whatever, The Watchmen is the only holy book I could ever consider to have around me, so this was a cool read where I got to learn a little more about unfamiliar characters that appear to be Dark Horse's answer to Doom Patrol. - Audiomack.com/cvrthebard

I decided to read this solely because Chip Zdarsky wrote it. It was... fine. I think maybe if I was more aware of the larger universe and the characters that I'd like it more, but I'm really only interested in it because a writer I usually enjoy wrote an issue of it. So, I'm a little disappointed, honestly! But uhhh, just a random observation, this reminded me a lot of USAgent's time as Captain America. Maybe that's just because Falcon and the Winter Soldier is happening right now. Maybe it was even intentional. I don't actually know!
