	Dark Horse Comics will officially spend its summer vacation just outside the streets of Spiral City — the bustling metropolis of Jeff Lemire and Dean Ormston’s Black Hammer mythos — in Black Hammer: Reborn. Set two decades after Age of Doom, the new ongoing series finds Lucy Weber living a rather humdrum life after giving up the mantle of Black Hammer (a title once held by her late father, who scarified his own life to save the world from anti-God back in 1986). Now married and living in the Spiral suburbs, Lucy is pretty much at rock bottom. Her marriage is falling apart, her job has reached a dead end, and for some unexplained reason, she hasn’t picked up the cosmic hammer in years. As the character’s domestic life crumbles, the real reason behind her heroic retirement comes to light. The exact answer, which is still being kept under wraps, threatens to destroy Lucy’s family and the peace she tried so hard to find for herself. Lemire (Gideon Falls, Sweet Tooth) is returning to write the book, with Caitlin Yarsky (Coyote, Bliss) taking over illustrative duties from Ormston. "Black Hammer: Reborn is everything we have been building towards for the last several years, and it really is the culmination of everything we’ve done in Black Hammer to date,” Lemire said in a statement. “This series has it all. Black Hammer, Skulldigger, Doc Andromeda, and Sherlock Frankenstein all play major roles. Oh, and of course lots of Colonel Weird too.” MORE FOR YOU The Hollywood Mensches Of BoulderLight Pictures Hope To Create The Next Blumhouse ‘Paul Is Dead’: New Psychedelic Comic Explores Beatles Conspiracy Theory (First Look) ‘Becky’ Directors Discuss Their “Ultra-violent Home Alone” (Plus, Get A Preview Of The Soundtrack) "I am super excited and a little bit terrified to see Caitlin's work on Black Hammer," added Ormston. "Excited because her work is so incredible, and terrified because her work is SO incredible." Also praising Yarsky, Lemire continued: “Dean Ormston and I are very excited to welcome Caitlin to the Black Hammer universe and to the modern adventures of Lucy Weber. Caitlin's artwork is amazing — the way she does facial expressions and breathes life into the characters is really going to blow fans away.” "Illustrating for the great Jeff Lemire and Dean Ormston is an absolute dream come true.” Yarsky said. “It has been such a joy to depict Black Hammer's emotionally complex characters, relationships, and beautifully surreal settings. I'm thrilled and honored to join this legendary team of storytellers. In fact, I'm still pinching myself.” Dave Stewart (Hellboy, Gideon Falls) is coloring the book, with Nate Piekos on lettering. Malachi Ward (Prophet, Island) and Matt Sheean (Prophet, Island) will provide guest artwork for Issues #5-8. Black Hammer: Reborn #1 goes on sale Friday, July 23.
