The Black Marvels take on the Four Horsemen! Black Adam fought for peace and family for once in his life, but if all that gets taken away, what is he left with? The events of this issue lead up to the 52 spinoff event, WORLD WAR III!

Will World War III be covered? I’m evidently one of the few who liked it. :smirk:

Now THIS issue I remember from when it came out. I couldn’t help but think of the senseless conflict in Ukraine currently taking place as I read this tragic issue and the righteous rage such violence brings to the victims as they firmly stand their ground.

That’s the plan – I’m probably going to lump in in with that issue of the week. That’ll make the reading way bigger than normal, but should be handlable. :slight_smile:

Yeah, some of this stuff definitely hits different nowadays.
