Black [AF] America's Sweetheart #[nn]

In this powerful 2017 issue from Black Mask Studios, writer Kwanza Osajyefo and letterer David Sharpe deliver a gripping story where only Black people possess superpowers—among them Eli, a young woman adopted by a white family and trained by her government-employed father for sanctioned missions. When Eli’s powers awaken, she’s thrust into a mission that collides with the arrival of Zion, who claims they’re sisters and that their parents sent them back in time to escape a future where Black people are enslaved. After Zion attacks a government center and collapses into the ocean, Eli lies in a coma, her mother demanding protection—until a mysterious rogue youth appears at her bedside. Cover by Sho Murase.
