Where were you when terror came to Cleveland? It's open warfare on the city streets as Black Lightning and the police form an uneasy alliance against White Thunder and his murderous flying killers. Lightning's troubles with the cops are hardly over, and an angry Tobias Whale plots his next move.
Cold Dead Hands continues to be a series that more than adequately addresses the meeting of race, super-heroics, and law enforcement. The narrative structure of this issue is superb, and the tiny nods toward past continuity are certainly a boon to the storytelling. Theres one aspect of the story that makes me feel disappointingly nostalgic, but I like that we have an indication of the existence of two important characters in a post-Rebirth status quo. This miniseries has been excellent from the start, and this issue is truly no exception. Read Full Review

This here was that time for heroes to rise to the occasion. It doesn't always take someone with powers to save the day, but it doesn't hurt when you need that someone to give you a fighting chance. The events of Black Lightning: Cold Dead Hands #4 were memorable for all the ways that things can go wrong when crime like this is either going to come knocking at your front door or plot from the shadows.

Black Lighting remains one of the recent pleasant surprises for DC. With the strength and popularity of the TV series and overall quality of this title, keeping it going seems like the smart play for DC. Read Full Review
Black Lightning: Cold Dead Hands #4 is one of the most action-packed issues of Tony Isabella's revival of his most iconic character, but it also manages to use that action better than most series, fueling a city-wide conflict that brings out both the best and worst in the civilians and law enforcement officials.

In conclusion, I really enjoyed this issue, and I am looking forward to the fight between Tobias Whale and Black Lightning. Hopefully DC utilizes the idea of more miniseries as their miniseries have been really strong as of late and explore less popular characters. Read Full Review
An exciting issue in and of itself that does little for the overall miniseries. Very readable, but not remarkable. Might serve best for instructive purposes in today's comic book climate. Read Full Review
There's a lot of noise in this issue, but little of substance. Read Full Review
