Black Lightning #4 starts with the sights you probably saw in a Thousand Manga. Two heroes are hit. In this case, Black Lightning attacked Superman ferociously, but there’s a reason Jefferson Pierce is assaulting the steel man. Thankfully, unlike the other comics, this fight is short, with Jefferson able to see Anissa and continuing to help her with her new strength.
In fact, Black Lightning #4 focuses on how Jefferson takes a different approach with both daughters. Brandon Thomas is very clear with their interactions. If Jefferson’s other daughter Jennifer works closely with him, Anissa takes on more supportive roles for her strength. However, Jefferson still takes the time to check her in and train her with her new strength. Thomas is also not the only family to get the spotlight as he reveals that Isac, the boy Jennifer fought to protect in the previous issue, is now in the hands of the masters of disaster.
It is a very attractive hook and is somewhat undercut by the arrival of the son of Liberty, an anti-period group that emerged in the wake of absolute power. I’m asking for everything for a new take on old enemies, or completely new enemies, but I’m going to be honest here: Thomas is already good at showing how Pierce works I was doing that. mother. The boys felt that they might have been saved due to another problem.

With respect, it’s a chance for Fico Osio and Uris Arerola to show off more of their amazing artwork. Ossio really enjoys showing off his Black Lightning combat skills. His hands turn blurred as he deals a series of blows to one of the sons of freedom. In the opening, his fist literally chases lightning bolts as he swings Superman. Ossio adds after a series of remaining parts to show you how fast Superman can move when he stays out of punch range. Arreola’s colour highlights the difference in the power of the Piece brothers, as Jennifer remains yellow and yellow, while Anissa’s is a fiery red red.
The standout sequence of Black Lightning #4 concerns a series of panels aimed at embracing a week where Anissa learns to emphasize her powers. Not only is it a great way to show off her progress, but after a panel of high octane actions featuring various heroes from the DC universe, Ossio and Arreola can pull out the panel. Outside of Justice League Unlimited and Thangeers of the Unknown, this is a DC comic that really leaps towards an all-in era that utilizes almost every hero in the DC Universe.
Black Lightning #4 is great when focusing on family dynamics, but it continues to pack a lot of action into the page. This is a comic that continues to solidify its place on my pull list and doubles as a great example of what DC’s all-in era has to offer.

Thomas’ script is excellent when focusing on the Pierce family.
Ossio and Arreola are great in action sequences, especially when Black Lightning is involved.
One of the few DC all-in-books that lean towards a broad roster of heroes.
Thankfully, we don’t drag hero-hero fights.
