I’m not sure why a comic focusing on Jefferson, Thunder and Lightning wouldn’t do good. Wouldn’t hurt to try. You listening DC?

While I would shy away from a 'black Justice League' with a black Superman, black Batman, black Wonder Woman, etc. I could totally get behind;
Black Lightning
Steel
Vixen
as the 'adult supervision' to
Aqualad
Bumblebee
Thunder
Vaporlock
occasional rotating in-and-out appearances by John Stewart, Amazing Man, Nommo/Dr. Mist (in a 'Phantom Stranger what shows up mysteriously with dire portents' role), Lightning, Northwind and Static. Season to taste.
I like some combination of these characters (Vixen, Bumblebee, Dr. Mist and Amazing Man, most of all), so I'd buy it.

BET did it to Black Panther's cartoon.
Nickelodeon did it to As Told By Ginger-an entire season has not aired in the USA despite the series finale airing here.
To a lessor point the 8th season of Muppet Babies and the 7th season of Alvin and the Chipmunks had it done to them.
And a case could be made with NBC's treatment of New Kids on the Block & Kid N Play's cartoon shows. Shows were made and a lot of the country never saw them.
The CW did it to Mario Lopez and Robert Richard's show as well in 2007.
There is a track record of that mess being done.
It was horrible. So horrible I took my copies to Half Price books and sold them.They did the Cold Dead hands mini series by the character's original creator Tony Isabella which didn't really capture most people's attention.
It was just as bad as BL volume 2 (not the 1995 series but the run that cam after the first book ended). Too much pandering to certain factions.
Duke is an after thought to Hill in that book.Although I think people view his Jefferson more favorably than they do his handling of Duke Thomas.
Jefferson might work out better if Batman was not there. However when you got stores that wouldn't stock that book without Batman's name on it-you get stuck with him.
Well I did my version of JL-just need to scan and load it.
And it's more of if one had to put an all black JL or Legion together could it be done?
Aquaman (if you didn't use Aqualad) and the ones made for the show (Black Lightning excluded) were the only ones I couldn't do.
I actually did find a black female speedster (aside from XS) in Wildstorm but didn't use her.
Has Tony written every solo Black Lightning comic?
Wasn’t there a Black lightning: Year One mini not written by him?
Black Lightning is not really more interesting when he is written by someone else, in the different incarnations of Outsiders he has imo been as boring as in his solos.
