A review by glassesgirl79
Black Volume 1 by Kwanza Osajyefo
4.0
Interesting graphic novel in which only black people have superpowers and the government is working to suppress them by any means necessary.
After being gunned down by police and surviving, Kareem Jenkins discovers that he has superpowers. Kareem is introduced to others like him and has to decide if he wants to help liberate others like him or keep his powers hidden.
This is a good read and timely considering the increase in violence against black people. The only annoyance I had with the graphic novel was the inclusion of police office Ellen Waters seemed a little forced to me considering she played such a small role in the entire novel.
