WoBH reports that the series will be an already established light-hearted “buddy concept”, set in Los Angeles. Andeyko also stated that the duo will remind audiences of a “Lethal Weapon” pairing; comical & serious (via
CBR.com).
“I can’t begin to explain how excited I am to be writing this book!” Andreyko told THE SOURCE. “When I first heard the high-concept, I was instantly writing scenes in my head. I’ve always been a fan of the ‘buddy concept,’ especially when it’s love/hate, and teaming these two seemingly disparate characters together makes for some great story dynamics. How did Blue Devil and Black Lightening meet? Why are they working together? Do they even like each other? All … well, ok, some … will be answered. Add in a bloodthirsty bad guy, a crazy drug, a guy in a demon suit and another who shoots electricity, mix well. Now enjoy!”
Expect this series to hit comic book shops in October!
