Black Lightning is returning in his own headlining solo comic as part of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DC's upcoming 'All In' puꩵblishing initiative, as seen in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCꦅ's full November 2024 solicitat꧅ions, and he's bringing his super-powered daughters Thunder and Lightning with him on a mission of outreach between the superhero community and non-powered humans in the post-澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Absolute Power DC Universe.
Writer Brandon Thomas teams up with artist Fico Ossio for the five issue limited series which kicks off a new era of Black Lightning complete with new looks for the whole Pierce f⛎amily (Jefferson Pierce/Black Lightning, Anissa Pierce/Thunder, and Jennifer Pierce/Lightning) de🀅signed by Ossio himself.
The return of the Pierce family also brings some evolving powers for Thunder which will put her in a dangerous position as the world still reels from the anti-superhero backlash created by Amanda Waller in the current 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Absolute Power limited series. To help, Jefferson is joining the 澳洲幸运5ꦗ开奖号码历史查询:newly re♈built Justice League Unlimited as part of a "crisis♛ response unit" that helps emerging metahumans with their powers.
"This story is highly per꧒sonal for Jefferson because he’s doing this with the help of his youngest daughter Jennifer, and effectively combini🦂ng his roles as both Super Hero and educator," writer Brandon Thomas tells , who first announced the new Black Lightning comic. "His oldest daughter Anissa plays a key role in the series as someone whose powers have changed after Absolute Power, and is in dire need of her father’s help."
"While the Pierce family struggles to hold it all together, a mystery rival c🌊onsolidates power and legitimacy, weaponizing public sentiment that declares that 'Waller was right' to fear these power mad gods," he🌱 concludes.
Check out a gallery of character designs for Black Lightning, Thunder, and Lightning by ser൲ies artist Fico Ossio, along with his main cover for Black Lightning #1 and variant covers by Sanford Greene, Taurin Clarke, and Juliet Nneka:
"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," reads DC's official solicitation text for Black Lightning #1.
"With Thunder’s dangerous new powers and the new Masters of Disaster jeopardiziꦡng the coexistence between humans an𓄧d Metas, Black Lightning is on the front lines of a culture war brewing in the suburbs of Metropolis!"
Black Lightning #1 goes on sale November 13.
