DC Announces Black Lightning: Cold Dead Hands Mini From Tony Isabella And Clayton Henry For November

DC has announced a new Black Lightning series from Tony Isabella and Clayton Henry, part of the new way all solicits come out now, one at a time.

Due out in November, Black Lightning: Cold Dead Hands will run for six issues, and DC promises things won't be "a throwback to Isabella's previous time with the character." Instead:

While the hallmarks of a good Black Lightning comic are all there, Jefferson's gone through some changes. He's still a teacher who works to be a positive force for his students both in and out of costume, but he's younger than he's ever been before—around 28 years old. He's also not married and in a departure from the show, he doesn't have daughters.

Jefferson does, however, still have a very big problem by the name of Tobias Whale. But Black Lightning's notorious adversary has gone through some redesigning as well. He's now fit, built like an athlete, and he's no longer an albino. But don't think it's made Tobias Whale any smaller of a problem for Jefferson or the city of Cleveland, in which the series is based. He's as ruthless and powerful as ever.

Oh, and what convenient timing! The CW's Black Lightning series is set to premiere next year.

Check out the solicit and some preview art below. The first issue hits stands November 1.
