Wow what a turn around. The first volume of Black Hammer was good to me but not great. But volume 2? Awesome. Sherlock Frankenstein? AWESOME.

Funny enough this title features very little of Sherlock. It's mostly focused on Black Hammer's daughter as she tries to crack the mystery on what happened the day she lost her father and the other heroes. Lucy is basically like Jessica Jones here and begins to search as many possible places, including villains that her father fought, to find out where Sherlock is. Will she get the answers she needs? or is this all for nothing.

What I loved was Lucy as a character. Determined and strong willed, everything you want in a lead. I also thought the idea of having Sherlock's past be brought up by bringing multiple witnesses to his actions and such was perfect. The art is also really strong and plenty tribute to DC heroes too. My only negative is maybe it's predictable and not all that "needed" to get the Black Hammer story but it's still very much a fun read.

A easy 4 out of 5.
