Burned through several issues and story arcs of Black Hammer by Jeff Lemire and collaborators. So good. Many familiar tropes but they feel fresh, it’s like reliving through comic history. What makes it work? I think it’s because it retells more than it rehashes and revises. Moreover, it’s respectful of its characters as well as of the source material.
I really liked the Starman riff they did.

Yeah, oddly I read that before I read Robinson’s Starman run. I should go back and read it again now the referances won’t be wasted on me.
