NY Times-
"Black "doesn't represent all blackness, that is impossible," said Mr. Osajyefo. But the goal was "to reflect what black people look like and where they come from." The characters emerge from all walks of life and the dialogue is peppered with slang."
By George Gene Gustines.

Paste magazine –
"Black is admirable not only for it's contribution to the visibility of the contemporary black experience within the realm of graphic storytelling, but also for providing a fictional form of catharsis from a very real and present fear that pervades the black experience in our present day,"
By Toussaint Egan

Hosted by Pete LePage and Jennifer Crute with "Chat" interview by Phil DeJean
With music provided by Kool DJ Red Alert! "Yeeaaaaaahh!"
