I generally enjoy when DC does series focused on its characters who get less love but are interesting and worthy of some love/the spotlight. Sometimes these yarns are in continuity and other times Elseworlds/Black Label/etc. Two new series are incoming and both sound pretty snazzy while also taking place in the, "Official," DC Universe.
We've got a new, "Black Lightning," which will feature Jefferson Pierce (our titular hero) working with his daughter, Anissa Pierce/Thunder, to try and keep the peace between metahumans and non-powered folks for a five-issue mini-series. This comes in the wake of, "Absolute Power," where in the fallout of that event a lot of new metahumans are apparently going to appear. When he's written well, I love a good Black Lightning story, with his creator, Tony Isabella (with Trevor Von Eeden) having given us some of the absolute best yarns and other folks having made some solid tales too. I hope the newest series by writer Brandon Thomas and artist Fico Ossio is awesome too! The first issue is out this November.
Also spinning out of recent DC events is, "The Question: All Along the Watchtower #1," which will follow the newer iteration of The Question, Renee Montoya (who assumed the mantle back in the amazing, "52," series), as she tries to solve a murder on the Justice League's famous space-satellite AKA The Watchtower. Set to run six issues, it will be written by Alex Segura and illustrated by Cian Tormey. I always love a good, "The Question," story whether it is the original Vic Sage/Charles Victor Szasz Ditko created, the amazing reinterpretation of the character that Denny O'Neil did with a slew of great artists, or Renee Montoya of, "Gotham Central," who assumed the mantle in the aforementioned, "52," series. If we get a good mystery I'm all for this new series and am excited for when it starts up, also this November!
