The first season of The CW’s new hit DC series Black Lightning is about to come to a conclusion with two remaining episodes. To get ready for that, Black Lightning Podcast joined fellow reporters at WonderCon this year to chat with the writers of the series as they break down the process of writing the Pierce family and more.

One of the great writers we spoke with was Lamont Magee as he discussed what is coming in the remaining episodes of Season 1 and more. Some of the highlights that he spoke about include:

-Whether or not DC heroes who have been namedropped on Black Lightning exists in the world of Freeland

-Which of the characters that Lamont connects with when writing the episodes

-The process of writing for Marvin “Krondon” Jones’ Tobias Whale

-The calm before the storm in the remaining episodes of Season 1

-Whether or not the A.S.A. will be concluded in Season 1 or if it will carry into Season 2
