The story that Kwanza Osajyefo and his co-creators - including co-writer Tim Smith 3 and artists Jamal Igle and Khary Randolph - put together for White follows the natural progression from the events of Black. The creator-owned book is the newest chapter of a saga that quickly morphed from a Kickstarter success story to a straight-up phenom, one with sold-out print runs, tons of media coverage, and a movie deal with Warner Bros. The long-awaited sequel to Black finally reached some customers' hands this week as White hits comics shops (though in limited form more on that down below).


Because how else would you describe the sequel to Black, a book that came out at the launch of the Trump era that posed the question: What if the only superpowered beings on Earth are Black? I'm usually loathe to label any pop culture work "important" because I think it reeks of pretentious, lazy writing.īut if I were the type to call something important, White would certainly fit the bill.
