Nothing happened this issue to suggest an ongoing series with this creative team would be a bad idea. Hopefully this spotlight on Black Lightning has won over enough fans for DC to keep these adventures rolling. Read Full Review

The penultimate issue Black Lightning: Cold Dead Hands, Tony Isabella's revival of his most famous concept, is hitting at the right time, as Black Lightning is now one of the hottest characters on TV.

After reading five issues I still hope that there's been some talks about giving Black Lightning his own ongoing series.

A too-quick read with not much advancing the overall plot. This has been a beautiful-looking miniseries with some interesting bits, but thus far it could have been done in one issue. Here's hoping the final issue wraps things up in some amazing way that makes spending the previous twenty bucks worth it. Read Full Review
