“Black Hammer: The End #1 is a very promising beginning to this epic story’s conclusion.” –Comicbook.com
“Perhaps the most impressive thing about Black Hammer: The End #1 is how fresh it feels even to a seasoned reader of superhero comics. It’s a refreshing take on a story superhero fans have seen many times before For longtime fans of the series, Lemire begins to reap some of the seeds he’s been sowing for years, and for readers just jumping on with a new #1 there’s plenty of character drama and high-stakes action – and spectacular artwork from Ward – to grab your attention.” –Comics Beat
“There are some good threads coming together with this and Lemire handles it well so that longtime fans will be excited by it and that it’s all presented very economically and without much waste. It’s laid out well with great artwork and some fantastic designs that have me eager to see what weirdness lies ahead as well.” –Fandom Post
“The thing about these events is they’re mostly about loss — what happens when we torture our faves, and what lessons can their suffering in turn teach readers? While I have little doubt this event will do that (and then same), it’s also very much about addition and expansion. The way it extends our understanding of this world/series; heightens the confines and capabilities of these crises; and grows the metaphors and narrative magic that you can wring from this kind of threat. There’s still more building to be done, and heaps and heaps of pain ahead. But for now, things have started to coalesce into a grand tale whose true destructive power may be in how we view these giant-sized events.” –AIPT Comics
“From well-designed layouts full of various artistic techniques to beautiful gesturework and character acting, it shines quality…If you’re looking for a superhero comic with heart and stakes, this is a series to add to your pull list.” –Fanboy Factor
“What may be the final installment of the hit franchise builds the foundations for what can only be a monumental finale. Lemire, Ward and the team balance the excellent writing with dazzling visuals to kick things off in style.” –Nerd Initiative
