Written by Chuck Brown, Morgan Hampton, Stephanie Williams, Evan Narcisse, And Others. First there was DC Pride and DC Festival of Heroes; now it's time to celebrate Black History Month! Cyborg, John Stewart, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Batwing, Vixen, Amazing-Man, and more take center stage to highlight the power of Black excellence across the DC Universe, in stories from a variety of comics' finest Black artists and writers!
This may be DC's best anthology to date and one can only hope that it is the start of more of these stories from these creators outside of just this one month Read Full Review
DC Power #1 is a celebration, a block party. It's a stunning melting pot of heroic stories that bring out emotion and strength and tell a powerful story. We all wish we grew up with superpowers or abilities, and this issue shows that heroes can be anybody. I hope this is a comic that every kid grabs regardless of skin color because we can all learn from it. I loved this collection, and I loved how we visited heroes that don't shine nearly enough.

The short preview of Far Sector in the back nicely hooks people for the inventive sci-fi series, and overall this is a great anthology without any weak links. The creative teams do justice to this excellent bans of heroes. Read Full Review
A reprint of Jemison's story from the first issue of the series, the short does a great job of showcasing the character and her history. It also beautifully showcases the art of Jamal Campbell. Read Full Review
Most of these stories are incredible and capture the essence of so much in such a short amount of pages. The diversity of stories, of emotions, of problems and characters really makes this anthology stand out and if you approach it with a critical lens then you are going to be rewarded by thoughtful depictions of many of the problems currently plaguing the world. The lessons that can be learned from these stories are inspiring and I am glad to see many of these superheroes empowering themselves through their communities as both are elevated and ready to take on what they know to be the problem!

DC Power is a nice showcase of characters that are continuing to shape the new direction of the DC Universe and hopefully will still remain relevant another decade or two from now. Read Full Review
DC Power: A Celebration #1 turns a spotlight on the Black heroes inhabiting the DC Universe, with a collective of Black creators at the helm. Hopefully, this isn't a one-and-done deal, as I'd love to see the spotlight turned on even more Black heroes. It truly lives up to its name of being a celebration. Read Full Review
In a world where racism and homophobia still run rampant, despite how much popular media would have you believe otherwise, books like DC Power: A Celebration are essential. Specials like this, the DC Pride anthologies, and the Marvel Voices titles all have a common goal; awareness for a different culture. As the Marvelous competition eloquently put it, it's about giving everyone a voice. Let's hope that people listen. Read Full Review
It really is a shame that ComicBookRoundUp still hosts open bigots like Briton. Every time either of the Big Two put out a book that celebrates marginalized people, such as this one, this racist, bigoted piece of shit has to whine about it and bomb the score.
More sick race-baiting from DC.
