Black Lightning: Brick City Blues by Lane Shiro, Tony Isabella, N. Steven Harris, Eddy Newell, Mike Huddleston, Octavio Cariello, David de Vries, Keith Champagne

adventurous challenging dark emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective fast-paced

4.0

This foundational story from character creator Isabella contains the holy trinity of BL's core values: family, students, and community. Plot points from this mid-90s run don't figure greatly in the CW television series, but the tone and priorities greatly inform the show. A milestone in the vein of Dark Knight Returns, this is essential comic book reading.
