A review by ladyashlene
Black Lightning Year One, by Cully Hamner, Jen Van Meter

2.0

While I enjoyed the build and origin of the hero of this story and his family, the art and use of the villains really put me off. Especially how weak and pathetic Tobias Whale was portrayed. Having the CW show fresh in my head may have influenced my thoughts a bit. If I hadn't seen such a strong portrayal of some of BL's villains already, I might have enjoyed it a little more. I'll hopefully get my hands on some different takes on this hero and give it another shot.
