Black Lightning Year One

In the DC solicitations for January 2009, they have listed the two issue mini series Black Lightning: Year One.

So what? Well, it's written by the phenomenal Jen Van Meter and drawn by the one and only Cully Hamner of Gaijin Studios.

Jen Van Meter has written many of DC Comics' characters from the Outsiders to the JSA. She also has her Hopeless Savages series from Oni Press.

I'd love to see more of Cully's artwork. He seems to have a 6 issue per year threshold.

Black Lightning, while being one of those 70s black characters who had to have the word black in their names (Black Vulcan, Black Goliath, Black Panther, etc.). He has transcended that status to become a mainstay of the DC Universe. He's been a member of teams from the Outsiders to the JLA. I'm tentatively making this a HOT BUY, but just know I'm buying both issues in January.

For more info I'm going to refer you to: this article on CBR.
