The surviving limbo characters falling out of Lemire’s ear and the giant Lemire having his head in the clouds. The bubble with who I’m assuming is Abraham Slam crying over spilt milk is awesome. The Colonel Weird page with the eyes and the bubbles featuring all his friends is great. Inspector Insector is faux classic Silver Age homage goodness. The ones that are about the other characters in the universe haven’t really caught on with me.yet. And as the new Black Hammer seeks them out to restore their memories.Something that has dogged their steps from the beginning is approaching. There's a tinge of darkness in all their stories.
Lost in the dream of their perfect world, something is off, something is wrong. And as they approach the "real" world something is coming after them. ( )Īuthor: Jeff Lemire, Dean Ormston, Rich Rommaso, Dave Stewart, Todd Kleinĭisposition: Irving Public Library - South Campus - Irving, TXįree of the Farm, the heroes of Spiral City have everything they've ever wanted. It really doesn't help that Lemire pulled the bury your gays trope these last two volumes. And the mud felt squishy and warm between my toes for a while, but now its drying out and leaving grit in sensitive places. I was hoping that like Alan Moore's Watchmen, Lemire was going to take all his pastiche characters and use them to make a real statement about superheroes or comic books or something, but he seems content to simply wallow in DC Comics nostalgia and invite all his fellow fanboys to join him in the mud.
Conveniently, one of them does remember and sets out to get the band back together in time to stop an impending apocalypse. This time our heroes reboot without their memories into a world without superheroes.
So this series has repeatedly pretended to make real progress on the last page of one volume only to walk it all the way back for the next in order to drag things out and take more homage detours. Up now is the conclusion of the story begun in the first issue. I'm in the midst of a week-long project to catch up with the Black Hammer sequel and spin-offs.
