Spoilers spoilers spoilers… Bleeding Cool has noted how books like Black Lightning in the wake of Absolute Power, have turned the new superpowered folk, or metas, into the DC Universe version of Marvel's mutants. Young people are given superpowers out of the blue and have to struggle with them. With all the arguments to match, an angry public and politicians take to the pulpit to preach against them all. Josiah Power, ahead of his two Power Company one-shots in January and April, will be making his point in tomorrow's Black Lightning #3 by Brandon Thomas and Fico Ossio.
Alongside anti-meta politician Jay Harriman. Who basically thinks that Superman is "the good one".
And defining this battle in terms of language familiar to X-Men readers but which parallels modern-day racism more, highlighted by the everyday news, and the attitude of media moguls.
With Black Lightning on the ground floor. We've looked at a new revival of The Power Company at DC Comics, but it all seems to be launching from the current Black Lightning run. Black Lightning #3 by Brandon Thomas and Fico Ossio is published by DC Comics tomorrow. Spoilers be damned.
