Jefferson Pierce is having quite a year. He’ll soon join The CW’s super hero lineup with a greatly anticipated new show. And now, we’re happy to announce that he’s returning to the comic racks as well with a new six-issue miniseries written by Tony Isabella, who originally created the character with Trevor Von Eeden.

BLACK LIGHTNING: COLD DEAD HANDS is written by Isabella and drawn by Clayton Henry (Harbinger). However, don’t expect a throwback to Isabella’s previous time with the character. While the hallmarks of a good Black Lightning comic are all there, Jefferson’s gone through some changes. He’s still a teacher who works to be a positive force for his students both in and out of costume, but he’s younger than he’s ever been before—around 28 years old. He’s also not married and in a departure from the show, he doesn’t have daughters.

Jefferson does, however, still have a very big problem by the name of Tobias Whale. But Black Lightning’s notorious adversary has gone through some redesigning as well. He’s now fit, built like an athlete, and he’s no longer an albino. But don’t think it’s made Tobias Whale any smaller of a problem for Jefferson or the city of Cleveland, in which the series is based. He’s as ruthless and powerful as ever.

With Black Lightning’s CW series set to bring more awareness to the groundbreaking character than ever before, the timing has never been better for Lightning’s return to the DC Universe. Cold Dead Hands promises to be a fitting introduction to the world of Jefferson Pierce for new readers and a very welcome return for longtime fans, penned by the man who knows the supercharged hero better than anyone.

Jesus Christ DC...

I really, really like the way DC is doing these miniseries off the back of their mainline (which is frankly 90% boring).

>lightning is blue
Ewwwww
One of the changes I really liked was the black lightning

Dad and son reunite.

Mini series, Black Lightning needs to a ongoing series not a mini series.

The artist is black

>>94741158
I don't know if he could support one, but I kind of expect an Outsiders launch eventually.

>>94741226
And?

>>94741097
>Written by the creator of the character
What's the problem, son?

>>94741226
What makes you think anon was making it a race thing? Will is be one or do people care about DC? I didn't see asian superman, batman, and wonderwoman in the news like ironfist

>>94741261
DC rehashing the same shit from 30 eyars ago? Gee, I don't know...

>>94741342
Damn, you're pathetic

I just want some loli Thunder and Lighting fan service

>>94741342
Back to Mongrel with you.

>>94741342
nobody else wants to write black lightning.

>>94741369
Straight to insults? Go fuck yourself, intern.

>>94741391
It's not an insult, it's a description.

>>94741057
>but he’s younger than he’s ever been before—around 28 years old. He’s also not married and in a departure from the show, he doesn’t have daughters.

damn it

>>94741035
You know, I don't mind if DC just start publishing a bunch of minis as a substitute for the never ending floppy ongoings

>>94741374
It makes sense for Lightning and Thunder to show up since they are going to be in the TV show but they will probably be teenagers.

>>94741391
>Marveltards are THIS mad
Lmao

>>94741446
>>94741374
Not happening. See >>94741418

>he’s younger than he’s ever been before—around 28 years old. He’s also not married and in a departure from the show, he doesn’t have daughters.
Boo

Why "Black" Lightning? Why not just Lightning? Could you imagine the outcry if there was a superhero named White Lightning?

>>94741057
>He’s also not married and in a departure from the show, he doesn’t have daughters.
So basically you stripped him of what made him unique and basically just made him a generic mid-to-late 20s black guy with electric powers. Brilliant!

There's a White Witch

Good on DC for giving miniseries to the characters that cannot support ongoing. This better than flooding the industry with too much unnecessary ongoings.

I glad Black Lightning is back in comics but I wish he would a series.

What about Blue Devil? :(

>>94741035
Awesome. Although the goggles could use some work, and it needs more yellow

>>94741035
Valiantfags on suicide watch.

>>94741158
I'd rather a miniseries that great like midnighter and apollo was then an ongoing where the title falls apart after the first volume like titans and a couple other rebirth series

>>94742244
Hickman likes Blue Devil and went to lunch with Lee

>>94742657
Hickman is gonna end up with LoSH.

>>94743755
please stop saying this

>>94743816
Hickman is gonna end up with LoSH.
