Why do they have to call him an uber-villain?
Putting aside Adam's recent mad rampage, it's plain DC has no balls to have an anti-hero who dishes out martial justice in their universe. They are so whitebread & picket fenced...

He has his powers back already?

God, i'm sick of Black Adam from a year of him in 52

Just leave the guy alone until the next crisis!

Black Atom is cool though!

You can never have too much Black Adam.

He's cool, but we've been dealing with him every week for a goddamn year!

Can't DC use any other villains?!?

I was thinking they'd use his mini-series to wrap up his story for a while, but he made an appearance in this weeks Countdown so it looks like he's gonna be around for a while.

I think Darksied is going to be the major villain for the next year though anyway.

Until BlackAdam kills him.

i hope darkseid goes back to his non jobbing weighs and lays the hurt on some super heros especially ones with the initials SM

Spiderman?

Sorry, they're not in the same Genre

Definitely going to read that.

I wonder what the word is :/

The word is breasts!

Doug Mahnke on art sounds good.

DC's going pretty heavy with the BA huh? Not that I'm complaining. He still isn't near the level of overexposure of some characters.

Didn't he kill millions in WW3, not just thousands?

Agree.

How could black adam get his powers back already. What happened to CM: And he'll never guess.

He hasn't got them back ermm.

Can people not read? The mini is about him trying to get his power back, I hope he fails.

I love his story ever since the last JSA series kicked off.

I still believe it will come out he was mind-controlled or persuaded, into such an over-the-top revenge rampage.

from what ive read he's suppose to unleash his inner evil.

For all we know that isn't even BA.

He's like the new version of Deathstroke. The villain DC(see: Geoff Johns) thinks we just can't get enough of.

I don't mind Slade now. They finally calmed down with him a bit.

I've been a fan of Black Adam since the last JSA series, I always felt he was kind of cheesey before that.

Deathstroke I've been a fan of forever. I got the entire solo series, and a lot of Titans material new and old.

DC being in somewhat of a ressurection period the last handful of years, it's unstandable why they want to throw fan favorites and recognizable characters into storylines. They hit a gravy-train and need it to keep rolling while they introduce the mass of newer readers to everything else.

The Titans book is where he belongs. Not handing it to the JLA.

Originally posted by Validus
The Titans book is where he belongs. Not handing it to the JLA. To be fair, it wasn't the big 7, but I do agree. Outside of titans, I like him in Batman and related titles too. He seems to mesh well with those characters, and his powers make him a scary threat to the hierarchy of Gotham.

It wasn't the big 7 but Wally, Kyle, Zatanna and Atom make a supremely powerful group regardless.

Originally posted by Validus

Zatanna was at least believable, in a sense, Atom was too, but its rare to see Atom fail like that. He's usually so badass. He's a very underated 'should beat almost anyone' kind of guy, when you add up the stuff he's done. He's just got Wally's number at this point, Deathstroke is something like 8 for 8 against him regardless of the seeming power mismatch. Kyle can and did take him down in Deathstrokes own book, when Kyle was a rookie no less.

Sounds cool

Hell, Deathstroke really shouldn't be beating anyone in that from Identity Crisis (Except for GA and Black Canary, although I'm willing to accept how he defeated Zattana)

Seriously though, why would cutting off Hawkman's wing's make him fall? His belt still allows him to float

and don't even get me started on the Atom or Kyle

If he's able to connect with it it'd definitely do some damage, but hitting him before getting his face punched off could be a problem.

I don't believe, with Geoff Johns being such a driving force behind Adam at DC, that Adam will just become a standard super villain.
Hal Jordan eventually got cleared for his rampage, too.

Hopefully it's a good fight. Here are the previews for issue 1.

Wasn't Adam doing the bidding of his Gods? Maybe they were fueling him up, and influencing him to a large degree.

Maybe. They seem to be going with the idea that Adams powers are somehow flawed.

So has anybody read Issue 1?

Adam is freaking crazy.

Yeah, the man's no wimp without his powers it seems.

Did he eat another guy up in the mountains?

I've been asking for a Black Adam mini for years. I'm gonna love this series.
Now I just need a Deathstroke one.

Gotta say this series is pretty disturbing....BA a Cannibal and Masochist.

I guess the death of Isis really send him over the edge.

Yeah I picked it up and was quite suprized, especially the part where he eats his follower to survive.

I was thoroughly impressed with this issue.

It was borderline disturbing in some parts, but a recommended read for sure.

So what did Atom Smasher pick up when he also found the cane? It looked like a skelton hand with a ring

But that only justifies Batman being the one to take him down

Could it be the difference between a grown man and a child. Bruce had years to cope and internalize his grief and pain. And while he was a rich man's son I'm sure there were limits imposed upon what he could and couldn't do.

BA is a grown man, one of the most powerful individual's on the planet. For him very few things were truly beyond him and if he felt like rampaging, what would really stand in his way?

I guess because Adam is still his friend, and believes in him somehow.

Wait, is Atom smasher still in the JSA?

He isn't in the main JSA book yet in both BA's book and Countdown he is seen being part of the team.

Isn't that completely counter productive to your argument? Why would a child be able to handle that any better?

So is Isis missing her ring finger? It sure seems that way in one of the scans.

It wasn't really my argument. Someone noted that Batman didn't go on a rampage while Adam did. It was just a possible reason why.

Bruce was a child and was scared and there were limits placed on him. He still required a care-taker and thus had time over the years to deal with his grief.

Black Adam doesn't know fear. The love of his life was killed and he decided someone needed to pay. With his power thought becomes action at a whim.

Bruce didn't really handle it any better, he just had fewer/no choices.

It's looking good.

The secret word is.....Chocolate egg cream. Any guess that? If you said yes your a dirty liar

Isis is alive, but BA doesn't know it and Faust now has her under his control

I'm glad she's back.

But I wonder if she will be as kind and caring as before or totally change. She did give BA the go ahead revenge before she die.

I don't think she meant go around killing a whole country.

I can see her scorning him and rejecting him when finding out the extent of what he done and him being heartbroken and not knowing what to do.

Or him killing her in anger.

Bruce didn't really handle it any better, he just had fewer/no choices. Bruce ,however, doesn't kill anyone and only takes villains to justice. and he could have killed Joe Chill I'm sure later on but he never did so. However, Adam killed millions of innocents. Children, Women, Men. THat is alot worse. He could have just killed the people that were behind the Four Horsemen.

I need to read this. Desperately.

Which squashes any nonsense about him having a power up during WW3.

Im kinda sad. We won't be seeing anything from BA in a while.

Well I hope he gets his powers back after Countdown, but who now has his power? Doubt Eclipso does as Jen looked depowered as well
