Black Lightning Year One #1 (OF 6)
/cover-large.jpg)
Jefferson Pierce returns to his old stomping grounds - the infamous Suicide Slum of Metropolis - in order to bring some hope to the residents of his downtrodden former neighborhood. He'll quickly learn, though, that a lawless place sometimes requires a lawless vigilante to drag it into the light. Acclaimed writer Jen Van Meter (CINNAMON, OUTSIDERS) and kinetic artist Cully Hamner (BLUE BEETLE, RED) combine forces to retell the electrifying origin of DC's most honorable hero, the bold and brave Justice Leaguer known as Black Lightning!

personally I loved the 'fro cuz it was a wig attached to his domino mask, but at least the high collar is sticking.

I'm very excited about this series! I am actually kind of disappointed it is only a mini. Black Lighting starts us off with Jeff Pierce, some what of a celebrity in his old 'hood -- Suicide Slum of Metropolis. He makes a return determined to make a change, no matter what it takes.

Apparently Black Lighting looked a awful lot like Static Shock when he first became a superhero.
