The Eisner Award–winning superhero saga is back in this earth-shattering dystopian story that’s essential for all superhero and Jeff Lemire fans!From the ashes of Black Hammer: The End comes a new era and a brand-new cast of heroes struggling to survive in a chaotic new world set to destroy them.Following the events of the Second Cataclysm, and the rearranging of the universe, Spiral City finds itself in a new era. Many of its lost heroes have returned, but there is no homecoming parade as anti-superhuman sentiment grows, fueled by recent events, and stoked by Malcolm Gold, the former head of T.R.I.D.E.N.T, now running to become Spiral’s new mayor.Making matters even more dire, Spiral Asylum has been shuttered with many of its low risk, mentally ill superhuman inmates being set loose into the streets of Spiral, specifically the decrepit neighborhood dubbed “Supertown”, an area of four city blocks that were decimated in Anti-God’s recent attacks and has now become an area for a growing population of homeless superhumans with nowhere else to go. With this reshaped Black Hammer Universe as the backdrop, several new stories begin to unfold and intertwine, creating a rich portrait of some of the lesser-known inhabitants living on the fringes of Spiral City…A bold new vision for the Black Hammer Universe by series creator Jeff Lemire and legendary artist Teddy Kristiansen (Superman, Grendel).Collects Black Hammer: Spiral City #1–#7.
