I didn't really like this version of the story - perhaps I have to much of a fondness for my other versions that got to me first.

[Read as single issues]
I am a bit split about this one , in the end I'd say it's a 3.5 out of 5 star book .
The book gives Black Lightning a new origin story , and depending on what they have changed and how much appetite you as a reader have for changes , you can like or dislike this book before the end of the first part of this volume.
In terms of plot though , Black Lightning tries to imbibe American Current affairs and problems faced by Black citizens in their neighborhood and in the country , with Comic superhero element and personally I largely liked it . Or so to speak , it worked for me .
I even liked Tobias Whale , the Big Baddy and how BL dealt with it was also enjoyable for me . And the art was fantastic as well.
But the constant cheesy lines thrown around and how the story progressed issue to issue really annoyed me , sometimes it all felt rushed and sometimes it felt stagnated . Overall I enjoyed it but the lingering feeling remains that it could have been better
