“David Rubin brings this whole thing to life in stunning fashion….
With Sherlock Frankenstein and The Legion of Evil, the world of
Black Hammer gets richer, deeper, and a hell of a lot more fun.” —
THE NERDIST
"I'm totally in love with the awesome BLACK HAMMER universe! And
with SHERLOCK FRANKENSTEIN master storytellers Jeff Lemire and
David Rubín have just made that universe even more awesome!!" —
Gabriel Hernández Walta (THE VISION, DR. STRANGE)
[David Rubin] is truly one of the most imaginative stylists working
in comics today.”--COMICS BEAT
“SHERLOCK FRANKENSTEIN is a gorgeous expansion on one of our
favorite comic foundations.”--PASTE MAGAZINE
“A must-read affair.”--NEWSARAMA
“A real treat.”--MULTIVERSITY
“A masterfully executed book with excellent writing, deep
characters, and incredible art.”--COMIC CRUSADERS
“Very intriguing.”--ROGUES PORTAL
“If you’ve seen Rubin’s work as an artist before, there’s no
further sell necessary. He captures mood and atmosphere in his line
work that’s remarkably sensitive and subtle, and yet his work also
seems infused with an irreverent sense of humor that can shift
seamlessly into deeper emotion and out again at the service of the
story being told.”--COMICON
"I’m not sure what I can tell you about Sherlock Frankenstein that
you can’t already see. An inventive, atmospheric book brought
to life by the dizzying talents of artist David Rubin, Sherlock
Frankenstein draws you into its bizarre world — populated by the
strangest, most beautifully drawn characters. It’s hard not
to love this book." — John Arcudi (DEAD INSIDE,
RUMBLE)
“The world of Black Hammer is a genuinely intoxicating
one.”--MONKEYS FIGHTING ROBOTS
“An absolute joy.”--BIG COMIC PAGE
“It’s incredibly hard to build a shared superhero universe that can
draw readers in the same way that corporately owned, decades-old
universes can; only Astro City and Invincible have really succeeded
in having a similar longevity. The creatively displayed by Jeff
Lemire and all of his collaborators across the Black Hammer line of
titles puts this franchise on par with those two and does the most
important thing a superhero comic can do. It makes you want to come
back next month to see what happens next.”--CBR
