The first issue will be written by Patton Oswalt, with art by Dean Kotz, and center on the Shazam-esque hero Golden Gail. Other planned writers include Geoff Johns, Chip Zdarsky, Cullen Bunn, Kelly Thompson, Mariko Tamaki, and Cecil Castellucci.
Oswalt said, “Getting to explore just one of the endless byways of the massive world of ‘Black Hammer’ was a nerd-romp of the highest order. I can’t wait for you guys to read this!” Lemire commented, “As much as I love writing in the world of ‘Black Hammer,’ it’s nothing compared to the thrill of seeing creators I admire bringing their voices to these characters that Dean and I created.”
The book marks Oswalt’s latest foray into writing comics, alongside the Marvel miniseries “M.O.D.O.K: Head Games” (debuting December 2), a darker companion piece to the upcoming Hulu cartoon he co-created and stars in. The announcement also comes two days before the start of the next ‘Black Hammer’ spin-off, “Barbalien: Red Planet,” written by Tate Brombal with art by Gabriel Hernandez Walta.
“Black Hammer: Visions” #1 will be released on February 10, 2021. You can check the variant covers by Evan Dworkin and Gilbert Hernandez at EW.
