Critical Reviews

Amid the usual fisticuffs of superhero comics, BLACK makes room for commentary.--George Gene Gustines "The New York Times"

As well-liked as superhero movies are, they rarely stand for something, and BLACK definitely does that.-- "io9"

The premise alone is insane.-- "Complex"

Beautifully drawn and refreshingly confrontational.-- "A.V. Club"

BLACK is admirable not only for its contribution to the visibility of the contemporary Black experience within the realm of graphic storytelling, but also for providing a fictional form of catharsis from a very real and present fear that pervades the Black experience in our present day.-- "Paste Magazine"
