HAMMER HAND was a very enjoyable, quick, and funny read. You’ve got the imagination and humor to create great stories, but you need to learn some of the craft skills of storytelling – what a story is and how to execute it well. Fortunately, that craft can all be learned – while originality and humor can't.

We've all watched superhero movies. Most of them having one person having to save the world and most of them are too similar to be called original. Yours, however, is something else. Easy to follow, great characters, in the sense that they have their original traits, the build up from one moment to another is greatly done.

I would definitely watch this show. Gods and Titans in a modern context. You’ll probably get comparisons to American Gods, but yours isn’t really like it at all except perhaps for the tone.

My biggest complaint is that I want more. To be an hour TV episode, you’ll need around 44 pages, usually broken into a teaser act, three or four regular acts and a coda act. The teaser and coda are both short. Look at On Our Merry to see how this is done....
