DC POWER RETURNS FOR 2025! Written by Brandon Thomas, Vita Ayala, John Jennings and Zipporah Smith Art by Ray-Anthony Height, Caanan White, Kelsey Ramsay and Charles Stewart III The Justice League's watchtower looming in the skies is intended to inspire hope and faith in superheroes, but not everyone believes metahumans act in humanity's best interests. The fringe beliefs that "Waller was Right" have grown louder as paramilitary groups take to the streets to take Earth back for the human race. Enter Josiah Power, a meta-attorney who's seen enough of rising hate and sets out to assemble a team not only to protect black and brown communities fr more
Overall, the issue as a whole is very solid, and it did its main job of getting me excited for what's to come next with the Power Company. Read Full Review
DC Power: Rise of the Power Company #1 takes a different approach than the anthologies of old, especially when it comes to the unique pairings. It had me yearning for more - particularly with Batman & the Signal - and eagerly awaiting more Black-led books like the upcoming Power Company one-shot. And that's how you know your anthology works.

Apparently, the Power Company will return in DC's Black Lightning ahead of the powerhouse team of Khary Randolph and Bryan Edward Hill reviving the group in The Power Company: Recharged. In light of that, this may have been a decent tease, but it wasn't that great of a comic book by itself. Many of the stories in the anthology tell simple stories, but mostly aren't effective one-shots. What this edition does well is unapologetically explore black mannerisms and voices in the DC Universe. The kinds of characters that play Spades don't pop up very often, but I don't ever need Batman saying he has to "carry the culture again. Similarly, I don't see why Josiah Power needs advice on how to talk to other black people. Overall, these stories were mediocre, and likely won't appeal to anyone outside of the black community, but I'm happy it exists at all. Read Full Review
