DC
released news a couple of days ago about the return of Black Lightning and - something of a surprise - Blue Devil. Seems they'll be turning up in the pages of
DC Universe Presents which I'm thinking I may need to start picking up.

And what's better is the tale's being told by Marc Andreyko, probably best known in the DCU for his work on the excellent
Manhunter.

Honestly, I'm not that enamoured of Blue Devil's redesign but I'm more than willing to give this a go.
And hey, Black Lightning was down as a possible return in my
Who Was Who Is Who #5, although I appear to have left Blue Devil as somewhat ambiguous in the same post. Still, one out of two ain't bad I suppose.
Well it is bad actually, especially if you ask Tony Isabella about all this. Poor guy. I don't know why, but DC(Didio Comics) seems to take a sick sort of pleasure in mistreating former employees and long-time fans. I don't know why they get such a hard-on doing that, but it's certainly not endearing them to anyone, particularly those who even have a passing knowledge of some of these former creators. Case in point the above example and recently George Perez and Alan Moore. Just disgusting.
