In "The Tornado's Path, Chapter One: Life," Black Lightning and Hawkgirl confront Trident and Dr. Impossible in St. Roch, uncovering a shocking clue on Trident’s neck that throws their mission into question.

Meanwhile, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman’s decision-making in the Batcave is upended by the sudden arrival of Black Lightning and Hawkgirl. Written by Brad Meltzer and illustrated by Ed Benes, with inks by Sandra Hope and Mariah Benes, colors by Alex Sinclair, and letters by Rob Leigh, the cover by Michael Turner captures the storm of mystery and action.
