The DC Bloodlines Podcast: Black Lightning & Static

1 hour 49 minutes

Five years later... somebody else covers Legion, because DC Bloodlines is back to Black with coverage of African-American & Latin heroes as part of a multitudinous podcasting crossover event! Julia Raul joins Diabolu Frank for an exhaustive discussion of Jefferson Pierce, A.K.A. Black Lightning, with an emphasis on his 1995 solo series (collected as Brick City Blues) and live action television show of 2018-21. Then they move on to Virgil Hawkins, of the 1993 Milestone Comics series Static (with a brisk overview of its first year) and the 2000-2004 animated show Static Shock. Finally, the two heroes team-up for 2009's "Last Time I Saw Paris" by Matt Wayne & Howard Porter from The Brave and the Bold #24.
