When a comet lands on Earth, it brings a child who will become Earth's most powerful hero. Sounds familiar?
Well, it also brings an ultra-virus that bestows powers to a select genetically pre-disposed few. In a world where those with superpowers invoke fear and awe, some become celebrities, others become scapegoats - and some exploit these new abilities for their own agenda. Who will defend the powered few when the many seek to cage and/or control them?
Enter Cassidy Crawford, the most prominent defense attorney who leads a law firm that specializes in protecting this new minority population from overzealous laws, police, and prosecutors.
This book kicks off Cassidy's case of a lifetime - the murder of Airstrike, the world's most powerful hero! Now she must defend the man she loathes accused of killing the man she loved.
Written by Black Lightning Executive Producer Charles Holland, and illustrated by Antonio (WYRD) Fuso.

Aron Wiesenfeld, a former WildStorm artist, has been creating works of fine art since the early 2000's. Travelers is a selected collection of his latest pieces. 'Wiesenfeld's paintings are rife with deeply hidden allegory and art historical references, spanning from Byzantine tapestries to the 19th century movements of Tonalism (with a wink and nod to Whistler's nocturnes) and landscapes influenced by the German Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich. He traverses the realms of narrative painting like a 21st century time traveler, taking us along on his journey, so that we all become companions on his voyage of artistic discovery.'

Woman & Man+ is a wildly surreal autobiographical telling of its artist, Yoe, losing his love, his country, and, some say, his sanity?and his struggle to reinvent himself. His passion for drawing comics was sidetracked for over a half a century by a career as a creative director for Jim Henson and the Muppets, Disney, Nickelodeon, and MTV. Coming back to his roots, he now dives deep into sex, horror, and drama, with a hint of humor and a whiff of hope. This highly anticipated loudly wordless graphic novel Woman & Man+ has a revolutionary approach that breaks all the rules of conventional comic storytelling. Steranko meets Hieronymus Bosch by way of R. Crumb and Dali. The unique art style has been deemed, Yoe-Brow!?
