He was the best agent that the CIA ever had, but these days Black Dynamite only answers to one boss... his inner him. When ‘The Man’ ices Black Dynamite's brother; starts pumping heroin into the local orphanage; and (for God’s sake!!) floods the ghetto with a secret weapon disguised as common malt liquor, the streets are goin’ t’ flow red with ‘justice’.
