About the series
In the wake of The Dark Crisis, DC’s Black Adam finally steps into the spotlight with his own 2022–2023 solo series, a twelve-issue saga that explores the brutal reign of Kahndaq’s iron-fisted ruler. Written by a trio of distinctive voices—Priest, Denys Cowan, and Frank Miller—the book teams Black Adam with a new protégé, Malik White, as he battles ancient gods and modern threats to his kingdom. Artists Rafa Sandoval, Eddy Barrows, and José Luís deliver kinetic, larger-than-life visuals that match the character’s godlike fury and complex antihero code. This series matters because it deepens one of DC’s most morally ambiguous figures, forcing readers to question whether a tyrant can ever truly be a hero.
