The World of Black Hammer Reading Order

By Loki Comics, Content, Random, Superhero

Set in the 1980s.
The Last Days of Black Hammer: Reprints The Last Days of Black Hammer #1-20 (January 2022 – July 2022), originally published on the Tales from the Farm Substack.
Set in the 1980s.
Skulldigger and Skeleton Boy: Reprints Skulldigger and Skeleton Boy #1-6 (December 2019 – February 2021).
Set in the 1990s.
Black Hammer, vol.1: Secret Origins: Reprints Black Hammer #1-6 (July 2016 – December 2016).

Sherlock Frankenstein and the Legion of Evil: Reprints Sherlock Frankenstein and the Legion of Evil #1-4 (October 2017 – January 2018) & Black Hammer #12 (August 2016).
Doctor Andromeda & The Kingdom of Lost Tomorrows: Reprints Doctor Star & The Kingdom of Lost Tomorrows #1-4 (February 2018 – June 2018).
Originally titled Doctor Star, name changed due to legal action.
Black Hammer ’45: From the World of Black Hammer: Reprints Black Hammer ’45 #1-4 (March 2019 – June 2019).
Most of this series takes place in 1945, but it is placed here based on the dating of the framing sequence.
Black Hammer: Streets of Spiral: Reprints Black Hammer Giant-Sized Annual #1 (January 2017); Black Hammer: Cthu-Louise #1 (December 2018); Free Comic Book Day 2019: Black Hammer #1 (May 2019); World of Black Hammer Encyclopedia #1 (July 2019).
It is not entirely clear when the stories in the volume are set, but it is placed here as the Encyclopedia contains spoilers for earlier stories.
Black Hammer, vol.3: Age of Doom, Part I: Reprints Black Hammer: Age of Doom #1-5 (April 2018 – September 2018).
This volume includes a brief crossover with one of Lemire’s other works, Sweet Tooth.

Black Hammer / Justice League: Hammer of Justice!: Reprints Black Hammer / Justice League: Hammer of Justice! #1-5 (July 2019 – November 2019).
While this story appears to take place much earlier (possibly between Secret Origins and The Event), it also contains spoilers for Age of Doom, hence its placement here.
Crossover, vol.1: Kids Love Chains: Reprints Crossover #1-6 (November 2020 – April 2021).
It is unclear whether Colonel Weird‘s appearance here is canonical.
Colonel Weird: Cosmagog: Reprints Colonel Weird: Cosmagog #1-4 (October 2020 – January 2021).
Black Hammer, vol.5: Reborn, Part One: Reprints Black Hammer Reborn #1-4 (June 2021 – October 2021).
Black Hammer, vol.6: Reborn, Part Two: Reprints Black Hammer Reborn #5-8 (October 2021 – January 2022).
Black Hammer, vol.7: Reborn, Part Three: Reprints Black Hammer Reborn #9-12 (February 2022 – May 2022).
The Unbelievable Unteens: Reprints The Unbelievable Unteens 1-4 (August 2021 – November 2021).
Black Hammer, vol.8: The End: Reprints Black Hammer: The End #1-6 (August 2023 – March 2024).
The Quantum Age: Reprints Quantum Age #1-6 (July 2018 – January 2019).
Set in 2141.

There are also two additional volumes titled Black Hammer Visions volumes 1 and 2 – these have been specified to be non-canon by Lemire, but they’re still fun.
