In a world where only black people have superpowers, what price do they fetch on the black market? From the pages of BLACK, this new story features Anansi and Hoodrat investigating a human trafficking ring that will take them across the globe and bring them face-to-face with dark pasts of abuse, child soldiers, and families torn apart.
It's all a bit raw and rough around the edges, but it's a powerful premise with a striking story to deliver. Read Full Review
Again, the concept here is solid and at times compelling. It fits well within the story world that Osajyefo and Smith 3 are building.

Black Af: Widows and Orphans #1 is awesome; This is a series, and an entire universe, to keep an eye on especially for readers hungry for superhero comics outside of the traditional DC or Marvel book. Read Full Review
Black AF: Widows and Orphans #1 is a shaky first step for this new series in the Black AF universe. The generic ninja narrative isnt bad, but it doesnt stand out well either. The art and premise carry the book pretty far, but not as far as must-read territory. Feel free to check it out, and I can still recommend it on the basis that I expect this series to get better from here. However, as I said, its not required reading. Read Full Review
Black has a really interesting premise, but work like this really dulls its shine. Read Full Review
