Black Lightning Strikes with McFarlane's Newest DC Comics Release

Step into the DC Multiverse once more as McFarlane Toys is back with some new Gold Label DC Comics releases like Black Lightning


It is time for some Black Lightning as the hit DC Comics electric hero is back and is joining McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse line. Jefferson Pierce, aka Black Lightning, made his first appearance in 1977 with Black Lightning #1. He was created by writer Tony Isabella and artist Trevor Von Eeden. He has played a nice role throughout the DC Comics landscape and even led the Outsiders, as well as being a member of the Justice League. Lightning is now struck once again as he gets his very own DC Multiverse Gold Label series figures exclusive to Walmart stores. Just like his origins, this figure is all over the place with a different art card picture than the figure we get. However, besides that hiccup, Black Lightning is nicely sculpted and is in one of his more iconic DC Comics costumes. He will come with some swappable electric hands, but that is all. Collectors can already start to find this Gold Label release in Walmart stores right now with an online link found here. 

The Forecast Calls for Black Lightning with McFarlane Toys

At night, he becomes the vigilante Black Lightning, helping to prepare the next generation of heroes to fight for justice as the field leader of The Outsiders."
