Summary: Great Art, Mediocre Read
Review: Michael Avon Oeming, is in my opinion, one of the best comic artists going. Though his art has been called "derivative" of Bruce Timm's animated work, I think that it's more celebratory of that style, and even goes deeper to evoke Timm's predecessors Jack Kirby and Alex Toth. "Hammer of the Gods" has a great premise, unfortunately I don't think it's explored to the extent that it could be and could have been a much better read if handed over to a more seasoned writer. However Oeming's moody artwork and visuals save the day. Overall, it's worth a look.

Summary: This ain't your daddy's Norse gods
Review: This book is a must for any Oeming fan. If you dig what he does in POWERS, wait until you see what he does here. Modi feels like a character that very well could have been written about in norse legends. There's action, there's humor, and there's incredible art. What more could you ask for in a graphic novel. Recommended to anyone who's a fan of Mike Mignola.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Read
Review: This is an awesome read from top to bottom. Excellent artwork and a fantasy story that is well plotted and scripted. I encourage anyone who enjoys quality story telling to check this out along with any other books that have the name "Oeming" in the credits whether on the art side or the story side. Always a gurantee of high quality.
