Art/Paneling: easy to read, nice art, I specially liked the colours.
Story: i seen the first season of the Tv show (maybe the second too?) but it was still enjoyable if less character focused then what i normally like.

While I enjoyed the build and origin of the hero of this story and his family, the art and use of the villains really put me off. Especially how weak and pathetic Tobias Whale was portrayed. Having the CW show fresh in my head may have influenced my thoughts a bit. If I hadn't seen such a strong portrayal of some of BL's villains already, I might have enjoyed it a little more. I'll hopefully get my hands on some different takes on this hero and give it another shot.

I love the character of Black Lightening, but I wound the flow of the comic itself a bit disorienting making it harder to be absorbed in it. It did have some great moments, however. I will have to look og some of the best graphic novels for Black Lightening and give them a go.

Loved the first episode based on this superhero, so of course I picked up the graphic novel! I thoroughly enjoyed it as well. However, I should have waited until season 1 was finished because now either I will feel disappointment if possible spoilers have been revealed, or I will feel disappointment if the show deviates too much from the original story. Curse my impatience!
