Plot Summary

Overview

Black Adam is a man responsible for the deaths of thousands of Bialyan citizens and wide spread destruction across the globe.

He is a man on the run from Earth's heroes, who want to see him brought to justice.

Some want him tried before a world court, while others want retribution; to exact a pound of flesh for the lives he has snuffed out.

And some simply want him dead as quickly and as quietly as possible.

However, he doesn't plan on going easy. No, first he has something he wants to do. Something dangerous. An act of courage. Of Love. And finally, something goes right.

    The Dark Age

    Teth Adam has some really loyal followers. They will die for him. They will do whatever he says. They will let Adam eat them. I did feel sorry for him in 52, but what he did to avenge Isis put him back to being a very bad guy. Then in Countdown we see that he is back to being Adam and gives his power away to Mary Marvel. This shows that this miniseries will bridge the 52-Countdown gap and let Adam find out his secret word...which I assume is "Sorry". With the U.N., the Bialyans, an unknown murderous group, and the JSA out to get Adam he has his followers beat him and change his appearance.

    Adam then resurrects Isis in a Lazarus Pit. Without her ring finger. This going to be a really good story.





    Black Adam rocks us again!

    The Dark Age

    After "52", you couldn't help but to feel a little bad for Black Adam. His family, Isis and Osiris, ended up pushing daisies. However, you also couldn't help but go "Wow. That was an excellent story!" Well folks, he's back! And he is as gripping as ever! Black Adam returns, and we know what's on his mind. After slipping through security only because of the swelling and bruising on his face, administered by his followers as he told them to. His plan worked, and they proceeded straight to the tomb of his beloved. They trekked on, and eventually it was just him and his wife's corpse. Then...well, i don't want to give it away. Let's just say that I ended up smiling--again!
