Comicosity - Vronique Emma Houxbois
Jan 03, 2018Ultimately, Black Lightning #3 is an intricately and powerfully constructed depiction of a kind of routine racialized violence that we need to dedicate ourselves to minimizing and eventually eradicating both in real life and in fiction to make way for the full and unapologetic flowering of Black America.

Jan 04, 2018Buy, as this book elevates its quality each issue. Between Isabellas storytelling to Henrys art, and the intermingling of relevant issues, this has become my favorite book at DC. Read Full Review

Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles
Jan 03, 2018I really appreciate Isabella being able to so successfully blend comic book spectacle with real world issues so seamlessly. We're at the halfway point now with Cold Dead Hands and this book is demanding a second chapter or news of an ongoing series. Read Full Review

Black Nerd Problems - Keith Reid-Cleveland
Jan 01, 2018I've said this twice, and I'll say it again. Make this an ongoing series. This story will surely be wrapped up well in six. But there's surely enough to keep going after that, especially on the heels of the CW'sBlack Lightning television series premiering soon. Read Full Review

Geeked Out Nation - Jideobi Odunze
Jan 03, 2018Things got real in Black Lightning: Cold Dead Hands #3 whether we are talking about what actually happens, what could have happened, or the stories told of where things did go wrong. This issue was all about the horrors of past tragedies and trying your best to make sure that history does not repeat itself. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Reggie Hemingway
Jan 03, 2018A neat, emotional story that does very little to advance the encompassing plot of this miniseries. It feels like this isn't a miniseries at all, but the opening salvo to a longer run that I suppose might happen. I'd welcome it if it achieved the consistent quality of this book so far.

Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
Jan 03, 2018There's a great character at the fore, and a great comic here, but it needs to get out of its own way a bit. Read Full Review

This was the best issue in this mini so far. I truly hope that Black Lightning finds success here and gets an ongoing comic or is a part of Superhero team in the near future. Isabella writes a vivid home for BL and Clayton Henry has done a great job with the art. This is a solid book that ups the action and still manages to embrace black culture and be an actioned packed superhero comic. Pick it up.
