Black Adam: The Dark Age!

If you feel 52 didn't give enough BA....

BLACK ADAM: THE DARK AGE #1
Written by Peter J. Tomasi
Art by Doug Mahnke, Norm Rapmund & Christian Alamy
Cover by Mahnke
Variant cover by Alex Ross
Spinning out of the weekly series 52 comes an epic 8-issue mini-series that follows Black Adam, the new über-villain of the DCU!
With the power of the gods stripped from him, Teth-Adam is on a quest to find not only the magical word that will restore him as Black Adam, but also the one thing that always kept his heart from turning completely black with rage.
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.

For every 10 copies of the Standard Edition (with a cover by Doug Mahnke) ordered, retailers may order one copy of the Variant Edition (with a cover by Alex Ross).

sweetness

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

I can't, it's a smiley =|

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?
