Black Adam: The Dark Age Review
This is a great side story that continues right after World War 3. In this graphic novel, Teth Adam is on a quest to revive his beloved Isis and is on the search to regain his powers back as Black Adam after they were stripped from him by Captain Marvel. Black Adams goes on a quest to bring back Isis by searching out the Lazarus Pit and help from Felix Faust.
It's a good story and shows that Black Adam is not just a killing machine, but a man who is just searching for peace and love. His happiness was taken away from him once Isis and her brother were killed, and he feels betrayed. He pretty much destroys everyone in his path that is trying to stop him. Teth Adam has no way of calling down the lightning without the magic word, and throughout the whole book, he keeps muttering words and phrases. In the end, he does discover it, but I won't spoil the surprise for you.
The art is fantastic and captures the quality of Black Adam perfectly. The book flows smoothly and is a quick read. It's about 145 pages long, but can be finished in one sitting. Give this one a read, I am sure you will enjoy it. Spinning out of the weekly series 52 comes a new epic that follows Black Adam, the new über-villain of the DCU -- and he'll go to any lengths to resurrect his wife, the deceased super-hero called Isis.
With the power of the gods stripped from him, Teth-Adam is on a quest to find both the magical word that will restore him as Black Adam and the one thing that always kept his heart from turning completely black with rage: his deceased wife.
Black Adam is the man responsible for the deaths of thousands of Bialyan citizens and widespread 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; and some simply want him dead as quickly and as quietly as possible.

Very strong story - Dylan Luciano - USA
Black Adam: The Dark Age is a very good continuation of what happened at the end of 52. It shows how interesting of a character that Black Adam is and is very nicely done. The art is also very solid as well. Although the book did feel kind of short
The Future Of Dc is Black Adam - Steven Lam - Virginia
I never would have thought it. When I was younger I never would have forseen that Black Adam would be the coolest, multi-dimensional character in the Dc Universe, but that is exactly what he has become. DC has done exactly with Black Adam what the WWE had done what the Stone Cold Steve Austin. They have taken the typical bad guy and turned him into the anti-hero.
Black Adam struggles with his morals. He was wronged and he seeks revenge. A masterpiece in character development. DC has turned Adam into a seperate entity without the Marvel Family.
A must read!
