Black Lightning

Jefferson Pierce is definitely an “Arrowverse” protagonist, seen from his incredible chemistry with the other heroes during Crisis, but he feels awkward in a show that is much grittier than the rest. Going into the finale, the new antagonist is a lot more sympathetic than previous ones yet also one-shotted Jennifer, the strongest member of the team, leaving us on the edge of our seats to see what Black Lightning will do to save Freeland this time.

Black Lightning

As with many superhero shows, “Black Lightning” starts off a little weak and uninspired, but it quickly picks itself up and sets itself apart. It is helped both by a strong metaplot building up over the years and a cast that feels both intense yet very real.

Daredevil #6

I want to get my critique of the art for this new arc out of the way. Because right off the bat, it’s not at the level that Marco Checcetto’s was in the initial arc. But that doesn’t mean the art team should be punished for simply having to follow such stellar work. It’s fine…
