Black Hammer- This Generation's Watchmen - Thorgi's Picks

We're starting a new weekly spotlight series where we just talk about whatever book I want to. Fairly simple concept. Today we're talking about Black Hammer, a book staring some of the deepest characters I've seen in a modern comic and a giant mystery that keeps you coming back.

I just picked up the first volume of black hammer recently (a few weeks before you posted this) and just flipping through it I'm really excited to check it out. Thanks for making a video to try to spread the word about it.

[@matiasleon9657]

YAAASSSS. I found Black Hammer when i got fed up with the big 2, and I absolutely love it! I think I read both TPBs in a week and I went bananas when the last issue came few weeks ago. Great video, dude! Btw, awesome t-shirt, too.

[@saketiswara]

This is just an idea. It would be interesting to also consider smaller videos covering current writers/artists that you like and we should check out to point us out to some other series we should check out

[@rcct44444]

With Umbrella Academy on Netflix I hope they adapt this comic. I hope for an animated miniseries.

[@legendary3952]

I would love sweet tooth as well also by Jeff lemire with a similar theme

[@jarettdaferret]

Yes! More videos like this. When you talked about Exiles, I immediately bought the first volume and will be getting more!

[@maverickopinions3709]

I've heard you mention Black Hammer a few times in a few of your top comics lists, and had always intended on checking it out (the fact that it's by Jeff Lemire should have made the decision a no-brainer). This is the perfect opportunity to do so, AND support your channel at the same time! Great video! I'd love to see more like this!

[@someokiedude9549]

I gotta know where you got that shirt. Great video! Also Black Hammer is one of Lemire's best works.

[@williampressley5195]

I really enjoy how black hammer just deepens the mystery every single issue and develops the characters. Is very fascinating that these characters are wrapped in his entire mystery and every single issue just explores their background and stuff like that and their origins. To basically give you some type of understanding of the characters. Black hammer definitely caught me by surprise when I pick it up when it first came out. It was very astonishing how Jeff and Dean crafted this world. And by having influences of you know of all Marvel and DC characters. But make them vastly unique in their own right. And I see why it won best new series for an Eisner award. And yeah I'm really enjoying how it's this huge thing that it has all these spin-offs coming off from it. To really expand this universe. That Jeff and Dean have made so entertaining. That you want to know every single aspect of this universe there's only a few other universes that kind of had that type of exploration. Invincible Astro City Hellboy Or just examples of the universe that Explore More of the characters in them and expands on it the entire universe in ways that we can't even imagine. This series is fantastic I can't wait for the ongoing series spinning out the page of black hammer that's coming down the line and I just got my Sherlock Frankenstein trade paperback. Can't wait to see many many years with this series.

[@isabelr3467]

This sounds good and I do really like Jeff Lemire

[@wopudo]

Looking forward to reading this. Also there's a stutter at around 14:40 that's causing a really small desync of sound.

[@No8Named8Shadow]

I love this series so much.

[@Mayorofsexytown1303]

Love your Bioshock figures. Been thinking about picking this up soon. I have so many on my list though lol. Just got Nameless in the mail yesterday so I'm excited to get home and knock it out. Next I think im either picking this up or Black Science.

[@aleman123456789]

Hey Thorgi, great video! Really loving Black Hammer. Have you stopped working at the LCS you were working?

[@TevyaSmolka]

i read the first act of this amazing series and it was really interesting

[@comicsmisexplained]

Lemire is God tbh. My favorite right now is Gideon Falls

[@RightHereAndNowDLife]

Hey Prof. Thorgi, would you do a quick review of the Darkest Dungeon? I would love to know what you think of it

[@idongesitusen5764]

Hey Aaron, this is an interesting series and I was wondering if you'd checked out Alex + Ada by Jonathan Luna & Sarah Vaughn. It's an image book that kind of mixes futuristic technology with slice of life- and it strangely speaks to what's happening now in terms of the advancement of machines and human relations. Give it a read.

[@justenlayne9533]

Where did You get that shirt? It’s dope.

[@WolfWarner718]

FINALLY!!!!!!!! Bless the Gods!

[@kalebsantos72]

Can we still do the amazon thing

[@lancemagmer9701]

What do you think of the Cobra Kai youtube show?

[@uriagassi6423]

YES!

[@Domasiukas]

Watchmen? Where? Where is the timestamp for Watchmen?

[@IanJN]

Smallll note: maybe mention who the creative team is on the brilliant series? You do make offhanded mention to Lemire, so I don't think the omission is deliberate. On the other hand, it could be a ploy to make me click the Amazon link. Damn your clever ploys.

[@dallastaylor1955]

Check out grass kings!

[@TevyaSmolka]

yay black hammer

[@That_One_Guy-.]

Interesting

[@randomnerd2332]

Will you please do any of Alan Moore's works please, easily the best writer to grace the industry

[@kaiwilliams141]

FYI this is an M rated comic.

[@sham.92]

Black hammer = Sad Watchmen

[@missmondo4197]

So hear your a fan of overcooked...

[@strawhataddison]

Talk about Irredeemable.

[@williampressley5195]

I was waiting for him for year to talking about that series

[@ThatGuy-jj3kz]

[@En_theo]

Are you faking your voice to make it sound more manly ?

[@jamcalx]

I didn't like it.
