Writer Jeff Lemire and artist Dean Ormston have captivated readers with their brilliant creator owned superhero saga Black Hammer. This fall, Dark Horse Comics will expand the universe of the Black Hammer with Sherlock Frankenstein & The Legion of Evil, written by Lemire and illustrated by artist David Rubín, for the first of several high profile mini-series featuring different artists.

At San Diego Comic-Con 2017 I got a chance to talk to Lemire about his new spin-offs, being such a prolific writer, the difference between Marvel, DC, and Valiant, and Canada’s First Nations.
