Black Lightning #1 is a decent jumping-on point for the uninitiated, though if you've read Absolute Power already, that's even better. I feel like things would have been enhanced a bit more had I read the event before it.

Things are picking up a bit more in this issue, with some hints of family drama and a bit more insight as to the fallout of prior events.

A wonderfully-rendered blend of action, family drama, and societal issues. Black Lightning #3 is a solid installment overall, with the art in particular pulling the reader's attention.

Between retrieving Isaac and his mother and the prospect of de-powering the Metahumans, the stakes have certainly increased with Black Lightning #4. This creative team keeps on delivering!

Black Lightning #5 is a solid conclusion to the current arc, with some pretty big reveals and a promise for the future.

Public Domain #8 keeps things moving along nicely. We get some progress with both comic companies. When bringing new talent aboard a still-not-fully-established company, there would definitely be a few conflicts, and that's shown here without it being overwrought. We also get a couple of major developments for the gambling problem subplot, as well as a bit of a cliffhanger at the end that makes me eager to see how issue 9 plays out.

By keeping things focused on the Expo and all of the goings-on with that, Zdarsky was able to keep it at a good pace without it becoming overly busy.

Public Domain #10 is another strong issue. Not a lot of forward momentum, but some necessary context keeps the story moving along well.

I've been really enjoying the story. It's told well. Each issue is concise as it unfolds. Issue #5 is that all-important climax.

All in all, it's good to see things end positively for this kid, especially after the bonkers ride leading up to it.

Need a break from reality? Shazam #20 is a bright and joyful little shot of wish-fulfillment.

The Moon Is Following Us #1 leaves me wanting to see more of these characters and I want them to succeed, but at the same time, a bit more world-building would have been nice to see. Maybe in future issues?

With The Moon Is Following Us #2 we get an emotional kick-off to the journey itself, which leaves the reader thirsty for what comes next.

The Moon Is Following Us #3 is a strong installment, with some beautiful art and excellent forward momentum.

An intense installment, showing that the gloves are officially off.

Overall, The Moon Is Following Us #7 is perfect, especially for that battle at the zoo and the awesome visuals connected to it. And the themes of dealing with grief and growing up are just as strong as ever.

An enjoyable first installment in a new run of one-shots. It may be best enjoyed in print form due to a series of spreads, though.

The art and writing combine to craft what's sure to be a fun, well-crafted story. Five stars for this thrilling first installment in the new series.

Zatanna #2 is a gripping narrative, with some slightly disturbing visuals and an ever-deepening mystery.
