Still struggling to move past the traumatic events of Absolute Power, Black Lightning's family is dealt a crushing blow after the reveal that his eldest daughter, Anissa, has lost control of her newly altered powers. Between his elevated responsibilities in the Justice League, his commitments to his community, and now needing to help his daughter, Jefferson Pierce just might crack under pressure!
Overall, this is a pretty compelling story that seems to be bringing together a lot of characters who don't often interact. The use of Steelworks is a great follow-up from that miniseries, and Natasha Irons' new suit is definitely an impressive upgrade! Read Full Review

Black Lightning #2 continues the strong streak of the first issue, delivering family dynamics on top of the superheroics and more awesome art. This is a book that should be on your radar. It's a little different from other DC books, but it's doing something interesting and it looks gorgeous to boot. Read Full Review

Black Lightning #2 has all the makings of a great story as one of the few DC titles showing the consequences of Absolute Power. Unfortunately, Brandon Thomas's directionless plot and disjointed execution waste the opportunity.5/10 Read Full Review
Not lightning in a bottle (heh) but a decent comic for fans who like to read lesser used characters.
