Which hammer is that? Not Mjolnir, for sure. I don’t think it is Beta Ray Bill’s Stormbreaker either, although the one featured in the previous poster might be (the two hammers are clearly distinct).
I believe these are referred to in the solicits as Serpent Hammers… my guess is evil versions of Mjolnir. Knowing the Secret Avengers are involved, I wonder if this has something to do with the Serpent Crowns that featured in the beginning of the series.
Ooh the Serpent crown storyline is a nice catch.
It’s Hammer Time!
Bringing back the Thor Corps maybe?
…is it just me, or does each poster kinda contain a clue as to the owner of the hammer will be?
…here, there’s a chain attached to the handle…reminding me of Absorbing Man’s chain and ball…
…in the one with the Grey Gargoyle, the hammer looks cracked, like stone…
…and the one with Hercules, the hammer looks like the old round mace he used to sport…
…am I the only one seeing this? Is it my imagination??
No, I think it makes sense. So the blue hammer would go the the Thing (both are spiked).
No idea about the golden, nailed hammer. Maybe the Red Skull for the suffering theme? It is a bit of a stretch, however.
