Power Struggle
Black Lightning continues his first year of protecting Suicide Slum, trying to change his old neighborhood for the better, and finding it extremely difficult every step of the way. Issue #3 arrived last week, dropping readers right into the holiday season, and right into big trouble for DC’s first black superhero.
This week in Spoilers: Black Lanterns revealed, and people ain’t happy… Sexy, sexy, lizard girls on parade… Phil Sheldon loses an eye, but the fun and games ain’t over yet… Plus: Is a Robot Hottie a Robottie? Does sleeping with your alternate universe’s girlfriend count as cheating? And what WAS the name of the cartoon cat with the garbage can on his head? All this and more, from the elegant Spoilers ballroom, adjacent to the lovely Pump Room, high above Chicago.
