Opening with Officer Ellen Waters being interviewed about a recent shooting we’re soon in flashback mode to see the reports of another crime attributed to three black teenagers and the cops move in as quick as you’d expect. While it’s a fairly ordinary premise of ordinary people discovering their powers there’s a far more obvious & controversial element to the story that the synopsis itself manages to hit head on with the question “What if only black people had superpowers?” That alone will surely send some of the prejudiced bigots into over-drive but hopefully the majority of bomic book readers are a bit more level-headed & open to take in the story and judge it on it’s own merits. Early in 2016 the Kickstarter for Black from creators Kwanza Osajyefo & Tim Smith 3 (A.K.A TS3) was smashing through targets & stretch goals with an impressive 2775 backers and it hit print this week through Black Mask Studios.
