The roster kicks off with Black Hammer ’45: From the World of Black Hammer #2, which features a battle in the skies above the farmhouse and asks “what evil lurks in the Haunted Skies?” That cover is drawn by Matt Kindt and Sharlene Kindt, but that’s not the only cover the book will ship with.
That second cover puts the spotlight on another Black Hammer favorite and is drawn by Glenn Fabry. You can check both of these covers on the next slides and the official description can be found below.

Miniseries
A broken mirror gets you seven years of bad luck. Salt was thought to have the same preservative effect on friendship as it had on food, so spilling it was a bad omen. We all know a black cat crossing your path is bad luck, but did you know an upside-down horseshoe represents good fortune spilling out on the ground?
Charlene “Chuck” Manchester hires out her bad luck, providing disaster where someone else can profit. While her enemies rally to take her down, Chuck sees a way out with her new heiress sidekick.
But sometimes her own bad luck is not enough, and Chuck needs to really tempt fate to pay the rent . . .”
