Black Lightning is returning in his own headlining solo comic as part ofDC’s upcoming ‘All In’ publishing initiative, as seen inDC’s full November 2024 solicitations, and he’s bringing his super-powered daughters Thunder and Lightning with him on a mission of outreach between the superhero community and non-powered humans in the post-Absolute PowerDC Universe.
“This story is highly personal for Jefferson because he’s doing this with the help of his youngest daughter Jennifer, and effectively combining his roles as both Super Hero and educator,” writer Brandon Thomas tellsThe Beat, who first announced the new Black Lightning comic. “His oldest daughter Anissa plays a key role in the series as someone whose powers have changed after Absolute Power, and is in dire need of her father’s help.”
“While the Pierce family struggles to hold it all together, a mystery rival consolidates power and legitimacy, weaponizing public sentiment that declares that ‘Waller was right’ to fear these power mad gods,” he concludes.
