DC Comics Book fans take notice. Rumors have it that Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) will star as the supervillain Black Adam in the upcoming SHAZAM! 2 movie.
In the DC Comics’ six-issue Black Adam mini-series readers are treated to a revamped origin tale of Black Adam, a touching love story and retribution and more.
Of course no story involving the sworn enemy of SHAZAM is all sunshine and roses.
There’s plenty of magic, revenge, violence and a totally unexpected turn of events.
Look for this mini-series to shoot up in price once the movie is completed.
The entire set can be bought for about $20. The Alex Ross variant cover for #1 is around $100. These prices won’t last for long.
Batman and Superman have always had a tenuous relationship. While never really ‘buddies’ they do have a profound respect for each other.
Superman tends to be a super Boy Scout while Batman leans to the dark side.
Still when they decide to pool their respective powers and talents the result are always that the badguys get their just desserts.
Writer Dave Gibbons and artist Steve Rude (Nexus) pooled their talents and came up with what I believe to be one of the best team-ups of Superman and Batman ever produced in World’s Finest Worlds Apart.
Throw in a little Joker and Lex Luthor and you have a surefire hit.
Rude’s art and layouts are like nothing I’ve ever seen before and are perfectly suited for the Dark Knight and Man of Steel team-up. The Price of admission is worth it just to get Rude’s take on the Joker.
The entire 3-part mini-series can be bought for around $15. It’s well worth it and I forecast it will become a classic in the near future.
