Passing down a superhero legacy can be a tricky thing in the Quantum Age, especially when you have to time travel 100 years into the future to do it.

That's what Black Hammer discovers in Quantum Age: From The World of Black Hammer #4, when she travels to the far future to find a successor. While she would prefer to pick someone in her own timeline, she's learned that her great, great granddaughter is who needs to wield the powerful weapon, who is more preoccupied with finding a place to live in the suburbs, working out, and grabbing coffee .

Her life is about to change though in a huge way, and while her great, great grandmother leaves some things rather vague, she does give her one piece of advice. She tells her "don't worry about knowing what to do when the time is right, the hammer will show you what to do." 25 years later it seems that promise is being fulfilled, and we can't wait to see what happens next.
