DARK HORSE BOOKS PRESENTS: THE WORLD OF BLACK HAMMER OMNIBUS VOLUME 4 :: Blog :: Dark Horse Comics

The World of Black Hammer Omnibus Volume 4 is written by Jeff Lemire with art and colors by Tonci Zonjic and Tyler Crook, letters by Crook and Steve Wands, and cover art by Black Hammer co-creator Dean Ormston.

In Skulldigger and Skeleton Boy, Spiral City is trapped in a vicious cycle of crime, corruption, and violence. With the heart of the city at stake, a vigilante rises as Skulldigger. However, when the nefarious Grimjim escapes from prison, Skulldigger and his ward, Skeleton Boy, find themselves pitted against a truly deadly and unstoppable force.

In The Unbelievable Unteens, artist Jane Ito finds herself visited by one of the characters from her own creation—but was it her own creation? Were the Unteens an actual school of teenaged misfit superheroes who battled supervillains under the lead of the mysterious Dr. Miles Moniker? And if so, who wiped their memories and why? As Jane’s world is turned upside down and she learns the true nature of her identity, she discovers a sinister plot leading her to assemble a team she had suspected was purely fictional.

Praise for Black Hammer:

“Skulldigger and Skeleton Boy: From the World of Black Hammer #1 is a stellar first issue. Lemire, yet again, delivers a book that is enthralling and visual with the aid of his creative team of Wands and Zonjic. Complex characters and an engaging crime atmosphere add to the already wonderful world of Black Hammer and its accessible to new readers.”—ButWhyTho?

“Wow. I’ve enjoyed the Black Hammer Universe of comics overall, but The Unbelievable Unteens feels special. It’s got an excellent metafictional concept that caters right to people who spend much of their time doing comics things, executed to near perfection by Tyler Crook.”—Comics Bookcase

“I didn’t think something could be thrilling and sad at the same time but now there’s Black Hammer proving me wrong. Amazing, just flat-out amazing.”—Patton Oswalt
