Collection: Black Adam: The Dark Age – DC Comics – (2007–2008) – Volume 1 – Limited Series - #1–6

📘 Series Summary

Picking up in the shattered aftermath of World War III and the landmark series 52, Black Adam: The Dark Age is a six-issue limited series written by Peter J. Tomasi with visceral artwork by Doug Mahnke. Stripped of his powers and hunted by the world's heroes as a war criminal, Teth-Adam is a man on a singular, gruesome mission. He wanders the globe under the alias "Teth-Amon," evading the Justice Society of America while attempting to gather the scattered remains of his deceased wife, Isis.

This "Dark Age" refers not just to Adam's loss of status, but to the moral depths he is willing to sink to in order to resurrect his beloved and reclaim the lightning of Shazam. The story is a brutal exploration of grief and obsession, serving as a critical bridge between the 52 era and the broader Countdown to Final Crisis event. It remains one of the most definitive and dark character studies of Black Adam in modern DC history.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

• The essential direct sequel to Black Adam's iconic storyline in the weekly series 52.
• Features the powerhouse creative team of Peter J. Tomasi and Doug Mahnke, known for their gritty and detailed character work.
• A dark, mature-themed journey that redefines Teth-Adam as a tragic anti-hero rather than a simple villain.
• Essential reading for fans of the Marvel Family mythology and the Justice Society of America.
• Explores the mystical lengths Adam goes to in his attempt to bypass the wizard Shazam's restrictions.
• A tight, 6-issue limited series that provides a complete and haunting narrative arc.
