What does this grasshopper do? I want to know
READING PILE: "The Last Days of Black Hammer" – Comic review
Jeff Lemire and Dean Ormston's Black Hammer is quietly one of the most successful new superhero universes of the last decade. What began in 2016 as an eerie little fable about superheroes trapped in a strange domestic limbo grew into a cosmic epic. The drama came to a head in 2023's Black Hammer: The End, by Lemire and artist Malachi Ward.
However, these are series where the endings are only suggestions or long pauses. Ahead of next week's San Diego Comic-Con, Black Hammer publisher Dark Horse announces the next phase of Lemire's quirky universe, Black Hammer: Spiral City.
Written by Lemire with art by Teddy Kristensen, Spiral City is described as a dystopian story that will follow a new group of heroes "struggling to survive in a new chaotic world." There are no details on who the new characters are yet, but odds are one of them is the crazy grasshopper detective pictured above and below.
