“A disgraced group of four knights, once close friends, are given one last shot at redemption: kill a wizard, and slay his dragons. But there’s no such thing as wizards, dragons don’t exist, and nothing is as it seems in the town of Green Valley.”

I hope you said Dynamite... because it's Dynamite. I know, I know... IDW was a close second. I wish one of my "Worst of 2016" articles were posted already because I would be linking to it right about now. I have zero interest in checking this out and will avoid it upon its release. I feel for whatever creators get attached to it. Also, I love the fact half of the below press release reads like a film review written by the studio.

I know that these releases are a necessary part of the biz. How else will people know about them? I just don't get excited for them when they come from IDW because it's almost always their same four or five brands that they actually own and only one of those are exciting. Locke & Key in case you were wondering, but hey... I'm sure we'll get a great looking Wynonna Earp statue right? That's going on the shelf next to the freebie Doc Strange.

There are only two items that were "meh" in this month's box. One is the phone trinket that they always send and those are always "meh." The other was a cheap keychain. The rest was pretty damn good. The Sailor Moon bottle opener is legit and heavy. The Robotech light up this is nice but pretty cheap once you touch it and use it. The Ein plushy... is fucking amazing. My son loved it, and I'm happy he did. If you're getting this "crate," then you should be pretty pleased. I know that I liked it way more than the regular Loot Crate this month. Loot Wear is late again, so I probably won't have a video for it.

I’m putting the bottom line at the top this week, this issue is a solid end to a great series. Last month we saw this creative team branch out in both structure and art style for the Colonel’s origin story, this issue dials back the weird and cranks up the eerie for the story of Madame Dragonfly. In a throwback to the Eerie and Creepy comics of old the team has managed to make another unique addition to the first arch. While the plot may not be a strong as some of the previous issues, there are a lot of things to like about Black Hammer #6.
