Praise for Black Hammer Volume 8: The End

"Amazing. Just flat-out amazing."—Patton Oswalt

"I don't read many comics these days, and I can't remember the last time I read a superhero comic, but I'm loving Black Hammer."—Mike Mignola

"Black Hammer is easily one of Lemire's best creations."—Scott Snyder

“I don’t read many comics these days and I can’t remember the last time I read a superhero comic, but I’m loving BLACK HAMMER by Jeff Lemire, Dean Ormston, and Dave Stewart.”—Mike Mignola

"On my pull list by the time I got to page five."—Mark Waid (Kingdom Come)

“Black Hammer is the maddest, most brilliant comic I’ve read in years.”—Mark Millar (Kick Ass)

“Jeff Lemire's Black Hammer feels like it's walking two roads—one honoring the past of superhero comics, and one forging a path into the future of the genre.”—Cullen Bunn (Harrow County)

Black Hammer feels like a superhero story through an X-Files lens; it’s strange and melancholy and real. The tale evokes an immense world filled with typically deep Lemire-ian themes of isolation, joy and simplicity. I can't wait to see where he goes from here."—Charles Soule (Star Wars: Poe Dameron, Letter 44)
