From Cosmic To Crops: Why Black Hammer is The Best Current Superhero Comic by Colin O’Neill
From Cosmic To Crops: Why Black Hammer is The Best Current Superhero Comic By Colin O’Neill Jeff Lemire is a cartoonist I have reverence for, perhaps because he’s Canadian (like me) and a few of the comics he’s created are set in Canada. Not only that, but his art style is wholly unique with his thick, bold brush work that makes scraggly figures who look like they’ve lived a hard life, with black beady eyes that stare through you and your soul and communicate one emotion: pain.

The Besnard Lakes are not one to downplay epic sweeping and soaring soundscapes – based out of Montreal, Canada, the band gained roots in 2003 and have been gracing their audience with bold orchestrations ever since.
