Geoff Johns is taking a cue from Alan […]

Red Stewart reviews the second episode of Black Lightning… Despite presumably being the first part of a two-episode arc that continues with next week’s ‘LaWanda: The Book of Burial’, ‘LaWanda: The Book of Hope’ felt a lot like a direct continuation of “The Resurrection.” Watching it, it was almost like the writers had read my review […]
