The Power Company, a team from the early aughts created by Kurt Busiek and Tom Grummett, will get a reboot later this month in DC Power: Rise of the Power Company.
DC has released several DC Power specials in recent years in conjunction with Black History Month, which takes place in February here in the United States. This year the special will not only kick off a new iteration of The Power Company, but will feature stories starring the new line-up for the team — who will go on to appear in a one-shot this April.
“Company Man” is a two-part prelude to April’s The Power Company: Recharged, by Black Lightning writer Brandon Thomas with art by Charles Stewart III, Anthony Fowler Jr., and Ulises Arreola. If you’ve been reading Thomas’ excellent Black Lightning series, you’ve seen Josiah Power, the founder of The Power Company, in his reintroduction to the DC Universe. Thigns aren’t going well for him:
As Power grieves over the death of his nephew Daniel due to the actions of Amanda Waller, and as his own energy-manipulating powers are growing out of control, he quickly realizes that a new iteration of the Power Company may be the only solution to the problem of growing anti-meta sentiment, and Jefferson Pierce, a.k.a. Black Lightning, is the key.

Other stories in the anthology include:
- Vixen and Bolt battle anti-metahuman sentiment in a hospital where citizens are getting treated for emerging abilities (as fallout from Absolute Power) in “Ring of Power,” written by Zipporah Smith with art by Kelsey Ramsay and Francesco Segala
- Cyborg and Green Lantern Jo Mullein face Despero in “Unfinished Business,” written by John Jennings with art by Caanan White, Atagun Ilhan and Andrew Dalhouse
- In “Dynamic Duo,” writer Vita Ayala and artists Ray-Anthony Height and Chris Sotomayor “deliver a different kind of Batman and Signal team-up as Jace Fox and Duke Thomas fight crime, drink ginger beer and play Spades on the mean streets of New York.”
The anthology will feature variant covers by Alitha Martinez with Mark Morales and Andrew Dalhouse; Davi Go; and Valentine De Landro:



and it comes out Jan. 29. But you won’t have to wait long to see the new iteration of the team in action, as The Power Company: Recharged by Bryan Edward Hill, Khary Randolph and Alitha Martinez will follow in April:

This new DC All In series dives deeper into how this new iteration of the Power Company—made up of Power, Black Lightning, Batman (Jace Fox), the Signal, and Vixen—will not only rebuild humanity’s faith in heroes and fight against the rising tide of anti-metahuman hate but stop a serial killer targeting metahumans in the streets of Atlanta. The main cover is provided by Edwin Galmon, with variant covers by Ryan Benjamin, Sanford Greene, and Paris Alleyne.
