Review of the comic book "Black Hammer" by Jeff Lemire
"Black Hammer" is a bizarre superheroic Jeff Lemire, who was born in 2008. The extraordinary comic instantly attracted the attention of the global comic community. Critics put him on a par with such giants as "Guardians" and "Killer Joke." Now, thanks to the publishing house of Vovkulaka comics, our reader can also get acquainted with the global phenomenon.
10 years ago, the strongest heroes of Spiral City confronted the universal evil in the name of Anti-God. They managed to win, and ended up trapped on a farm near one of the small American towns. They cannot get out of the city and the only thing left for them is to try to accept and turn the place of detention into a new home.
The company has a motley group: boxer Bam, a 55-year-old woman trapped in the body of a girl named G Eyl, a bizarre doctor Weirdo who is almost constantly in the timeless, which is called the Para-Zone here, and therefore has gone a little crazy, a Martian with homosexual tendencies, a Barbulets, a witch Madame Strekot, as well as a bizarre robot Torokhtukha - an outstanding engineer who was forced to be responsible for washing dishes and cooking on the farm.
That's how they live, trying to share their lives, tolerate each other, looking for new attempts to get out and remembering the past, when they were superheroes, the world was simpler, and good and evil were clearly distinguished.
The comic is filled with irony mixed with various references to mass culture. One of the heroes even dealt with "Cthulhu from Carcosa" - a giant octopus monster that actually turned out to be just a crazy doctor who experimented with shellfish genes. There is trolling "through the ages": Jeff Lemire sneers at the comics of the Golden Age, where superheroes often had a mystical origin, and at the same time touches on modernity, where pseudoscientific originals predominate, based, in particular, on gene mutations.
The design of the Martian Warbults, which seemed to come out of the "Martian Chronicles" by Bradbury, was created based on the image of David Bowie from the movie "The Man who Fell to Earth". Superkral Gail has something of Shazam. The unspoken leader of the Bam group received the origin of Captain America with notes of the origin of Daredevil. The horror arc of the witch Madame Strekot uses elements of stories about the Swamp Creature, and the main antagonist from the past, the Anti-God, is a cross between Galactus and Darkseid.
Using such a postmodern mix as a background, Lemire suggests rethinking the image of a superhero. When in Alan Moore, the heroes of Earth acted as psychos, murderers and rapists, hyperbolizing the Joker's idea of a "freak who runs around the city in a fancy costume", here they are ordinary people who turned out to be weak under the pressure of everyday life. Ebregame Bamaa's company is hostage not only to the farm, but also to their own desires. The world had never treated them as its own, and now that it had shrunk to a farm and a city, they were even more afraid of it.
Over time, physical attempts to escape transform into mental attempts and instantly encounter the rejection of others. The heroes' past is filled with poignant stories about the loss of loved ones, the loss of the meaning of existence. Now they have only themselves, and sometimes the characters resemble crayfish in a bucket - as soon as someone wants to put up with it, try to fix their lives and somehow socialize, others pull them down and make them remember what's really going on.
It should be said about the publishers' interesting decision to translate the names of the characters, such as "Bam", "Oddball", etc. It hurts the ear from time to time, but a simple transliteration from English to a person who does not know the language would make the characters' images incomplete. In general, the translation, proofreading, editing, layout, as well as the technical design of the comic (paper, cover, colors) are at the highest level. Everything is very appetizing, I don't want to let go of the comic.
The first Chapter of the Black Hammer" - introductory and ends at the end. Jeff Lemire himself finally says that the story is just beginning, so we look forward to the next releases. Thanks to the publishing house Vovkulaka for such a gift to fans of graphic stories and we really hope that the reader will have the opportunity to learn the completion of the Black Hammer.&"Jeff Lemire."
