Courtesy of DC Comics, we have a first look at two inked pages from the upcoming Black Adam #1. Set for release on June 21st, the series is written by Christopher Priest with art by Rafa Sandoval. The preview images are clearly listed as a double-page splash on pages four & five and a full-page splash on sixteen, respectfully.
From the look of these images, it appears Black Adam is going to punch a hole through Darkseid’s chest. Then, later in the issue Black Adam’s arm appears corrupted turning into stone.
Announced back in March, the first issue will have some epic covers by Irvin Sandoval, Rafa Sandoval, Mikel Janin, Lucio Parrillo, Crystal Kung, Cully Hamner, Lucio Parrillo, and Travis Mercer & Danny Miki. Check out the covers here.
Check out the pages below.
There is no forgiveness for Black Adam.
This is the reality Teth-Adam, immortal man of indomitable will, must face when he discovers he has been infected with an incurable plague destroying his immortality. Haunted by the specter of centuries of dark deeds, Black Adam transfers his powers to a worthy successor who will redeem Adam’s legacy and defend their ancestral homeland of Kahndaq, only to subsequently become mystically “handcuffed” to him when Adam’s plague is arrested, giving birth to perhaps the most volatile and dysfunctional super-team in DC history! Powered by stunning art by Rafa Sandoval (Justice League) and breathtaking painted covers by Irvin Rodriguez (Detective Comics), writer Christopher Priest (Deathstroke, Justice League) brings his trademark wit and skill for character deconstruction to an entirely fresh examination of the man you love to hate! Get ready to ride the lightning!
