This book wraps up an excellent story that will have readers wondering why Isabella and Henry are not already working on an ongoing series. Read Full Review

Ive enjoyed this comic and it was refreshing from start to finish. Id love to see Jefferson in a more long-form context, but these creators set out to tell a story that works within this window and that still manages to touch on realities faced by black and brown bodies, as well as how these could believably intersect with super-heroics.

Bryan Hill will be featuring Black Lightning on his Detective Comics run. While Im excited about that I also hope this mini-series sparked enough interest at DC for an ongoing solo series. Read Full Review

They didn't lie, the surprises kept coming right through the very last page of this story. I was satisfied by the way Black Lightning: Cold Dead Hands #6 concluded this story. This was a story worth telling and following, and I'm glad that DC was bold enough to let it be told. Some publishers would have mishandled a title like this to make it an ongoing and then pull the plug without allowing a genuine story to start and finish. Read Full Review

Hopefully the quality of this short run and the popularity of the CW television series will result in an ongoing series with a new writer [if Tony isn't doing it himself]. Meanwhile, I'll be waiting for this trade so I can add it to my bookshelf. Read Full Review

The adventure may be over for now but there are plenty of lessons that Jefferson can still teach as he paves the way towards a brighter future in his city. Read Full Review

Tony Isabella returning to his groundbreaking creation just as Black Lightning gets his biggest spotlight on the small screen was one of the most unexpected and welcome surprises of 2017, and Black Lightning: Cold, Dead Hands #6 sticks the landing as the miniseries comes to a satisfying close.

The story is not for hero story traditionalists. If you thought the lack of diversity in comics was not a problem then this book is not for you. Guns sweeping the streets, and not just any guns but alien rifles that are way too powerful for your average Cleveland citizen. Cops are reaching through to the people that felt suspicious of their motives and methods of operandi. One strange issue of the book is the male Asian character that seems out of place in this intersectional minded world. Having an older male character with a completely non threatening sexual persona that nevertheless is creepy and mysterious is a flat note on an otherwise fun and interesting book. Read Full Review

This series ends pretty much how we'd have guessed, and then it finds itself in the position of having several pages to fill. This is simply one or two issues worth of story expanded into six issues. In other words: a rip-off. Read Full Review

This is a textbook example of how not to tell a superhero story at almost any level. When you throw hamfisted social commentary on top, it becomes an undeniable disaster. Keep it. Read Full Review
