This weeks a DC legend returns with his first solo series since 2009. Hailing from writer Brandon Thomas and artist Fico Ossio, today we’re taking a closer look at Black Lightning #1 ahead of its release in comic book stores on Wednesday (13/11).
Before we take a look at the cover art and preview pages let’s take a look at the synopsis for this planned five-issue serie:
Black Lightning is back, and this time, it’s a family affair! Jefferson Pierce leads the Justice League’s new metahuman outreach initiative, helping those with powers before they can cause harm to themselves or others— but everything changes when its his own daughter, Anissa Pierce, who comes to him for help. With Thunder’s dangerous new powers and the new Masters of Disaster jeopardizing the coexistence between humans and Metas, Black Lightning is on the front lines of a culture war brewing in the suburbs of Metropolis!
Issue #1 features cover art from series artist Fico Ossio, plus variant designs from Taurin Clarke, Sanford Greene and Juliet Nneka. Here’s your first look at the cover art:
