This is sexy! Appreciate that! (You don't really see this level of unabashed sveltely toned bad-boy anti-hero/etc. look for young/youthful Black males. Not ones you're intended to identify with, anyway, compared to the many White and Japanese/Manga/Anime male examples there tend to be.)
Also, I'm glad initial rumblings trend positive. I'm still rather upset at how Khalil was handled and then punked in the early portions of the Black Lightning series, and so him getting spun-off into his own show really soaking in who he has now become (a cool, powerful, unambiguous and unapologetic badass) feels cathartic. I'm rooting for this show.
I really hope DC actually uses Painkiller in the comics.
Not sure if he'd be as cool and nuanced as the CW's Painkiller/Kahlil Payne (innocent upstanding adolescent, turned victim of cruel circumstance, turned reluctant villain, turned dead, turned resurrected split personality villain, turned Anti-Hero). As far as I know, his comics version doesn't even have an actual name to him. Supposedly, he appeared a few times back when before dying in his 4th or whatever appearance.
Really excited for this. The first Mister Miracle I knew was Shilo due to making the mistake of buying Final Crisis as a kid at the bookstore solely off of loving Alex Ross’ cover and Morrison as a writer of the sporadic JLA issues I had read. Didn’t understand a word of what I was reading but Shilo was cool and I wanted to know what his deal was. Would be almost a decade before I finally read Seven Soldiers and learned more about Shilo. Easton is mixed, his Mister Miracle backups didn’t do too much for me, but I loved his Truth & Justice and Superman Red & Blue stories, and the art looks fantastic. Hoping for a banger here.

Nikolas Draper-Ivey has been going crazy with previewing his art for Static. he just dropped a hint toward what he would like to do with the character down the line
