Outsiders #36-New Year's Resolutions Release Date: 2/16/2011 Writers: Dan Didio & Joe Bennett Pencils: Joe Bennett Inks: Jack Jadson Cover: Philip Tan w/Pete Pantazis After having been on the run for the last few months this issue is a homecoming of sorts for Black Lightning as he goes to the home of his daughter Thunder. Upon arrival we learn that she's been under the care of Grace Choi. During their reunion Jefferson's other daughter Lightning shows up but unfortunately she isn't alone. She's arrived with her teammates from the JSA (Mr. America, Cyclone, Tomcat, Stargirl & Mr. Terrific) and looking to bring her dad to justice for his ties with Markovia. Inevitably a scuffle ensues between the two teams and is interrupted by the arrival of Dr. Fate. Black Lightning insists he was about to turn himself in when we get another arrival in the form of Amanda Waller. She restates that he and his teammates are enemies of state but she'll grant them full amnesty upon the completion of a simple task; invade Markovia and take down Geo-Force. After literally a split second Black Lightning says to book them on the next flight and says either Geo-Force falls or they don't come back. Next Issue: Doomsday vs The Eradicator! Been reading this series since issue #15 and I thought this was one of the better issues. I'm glad to see Jefferson's team finally have a little direction. 3/5 Attachments:

Nice
I liked the fact that Thunder and Grace are now in it, as they are great characters IMO. Some appearances from my favorite JSA'ers as well.
The fact that Black Lightning's attacks and electricity isn't black anymore bothered me. As well as Freight Train. I just don't like the character much.

I'm a bitty iffy at the moment. Some of his stuff was good, but I didn't like her Terra and his Stargirl looks slutty.

I feel the same way. Good in some places and not so good in others.

At least this issue was better than the last couple of issues.

I haven't read anything with Thunder. Her CV page says she controls her own density?
