About this Episode

Ever thought about going to a farm upstate? How about an interdimensional pocket reality that you can never escape from?

This week we're reading Black Hammer, the Eisner award winning series by Jeff Lemire and Dean Ormston. This is an really fresh take on a lot of familiar tropes...which also brings our journey into subversive superhero stories to a close. It's got all your favorite superhero archetypes: the foul-mouthed lightning powered lass, the patriotic populist patriarch, the mellow morose Martian, the goth witch with butterfly wings, the Astronutty adventurer...and his wacky robot sidekick.

Sounds like a really great Secret Wars type team up with Lemires favorite action figures?
And with such awesome names like Colonel Weird, Talky Walky, Abraham Slam, and Barbalien what's not to love?
