HBO has Confederate, and Amazon has Black America, sure, but Studio 8 is going all-in with an adaptation of Black Mask’s superhero comic series Black.
The series, created by Kwanza Osajyefo and Tim Smith 3, follows Kareem Jenkins, a teen living in Brooklyn who discovers he, like many others, possesses superpowers.
The series was funded by a Kickstarter campaign last year, and just finished its six-issue run.
It was announced after Donald Trump’s first month in office, and “conceived during that toxic stew of the U.S. presidential primary campaigns” as Black Mask Studios’ Matteo Pizzolo told io9.
