Criminals on the prowl, power outages, and the constant pleas of help surround our hero, Blackout A.K.A. Cassie. The grind never seems to end and now in this dark hour she’s the one who needs help. One year ago, her mentor, the legendary Kinetic, committed suicide plagued by the shadows of his mind. Those same shades now threaten to overwhelm Cassie whose electric abilities surge uncontrolled growing worse with each passing hour. The best hope for Blackout lies with her best friend, the intrepid reporter Annie and her estranged brother and widower of Kinetic, Anthony. All three must confront their grief, trauma, and resentment in order to save the city… and themselves.
Content Warnings: Suicide
Starring: Regina Russell, Rob Mobley, Erin Soler and Tyler Riley

Combining the epic colorful aesthetic of Adam West's Batman and the subtle simmering power of Tennessee Williams, Smith tears down the myth that 'to be a hero is to be invulnerable.'
