Black Adam faces a harsh reality as an immortal man with an unyielding will. He discovers he has contracted an incurable plague that will strip him of his immortality, leaving him with no chance of forgiveness. Tormented by the weight of his dark deeds across centuries, Black Adam makes a crucial decision to pass on his powers to a worthy successor. This successor aims to redeem Adam's legacy and protect their ancestral homeland, Kahndaq.
Unexpectedly, a mystical connection is formed between Black Adam and his chosen successor, binding them together in an unconventional and perhaps volatile super-team in the DC Universe. As the plague is halted, this partnership gives rise to an intriguing and dysfunctional alliance.
The comic Black Adam, published by DC Comics in 2022, is brought to life with stunning artwork by Rafa Sandoval (known for his work on Justice League) and breathtaking painted covers by Irvin Rodriguez (of Detective Comics fame). Written by Christopher Priest, renowned for his sharp wit and skill in character deconstruction, this series promises a fresh and compelling exploration of the complex man you both love and hate.
