First, let me state for the record how much I HATE Alex Ross’s version of “Black Adam”, lets get off the old withered look and get with the program, sheesh. Anyway, Isis has been leading Black Adam to where Faust has had her captive (and there is an allusion to the fact that Faust may have been sexually molesting / rapeing Isis in her comatose state).
Black Adam shows up, and you know what comes next. However, before Adam can kill Faust, Isis says she wants Faust castrated, so it appears that Isis has now adopted Black Adams’s worldview!
The JSA suspends Hawkman who quits, and discussed other team members to suspend, when Atom Smasher shows up to warn the JSA that Faust showed up a few cards short of a deck at Dr. Fate’s tower, of course they decide to head out to deal with Black Adam.
Meanwhile at the Rock of Eternity, Billy is sitting around bored when Isis shows up, Billy is surprised she is alive (which leads me to why can’t Billy as “MARVEL” ever tell what’s going on in the magic world? Isis was revived, he didn’t know, Mary was being seduced by Darksied, he “couldn’t do anything”, really pathetic and bad writing).
Anyway, Isis throws the whammy on Billy and he is transported back to Fawcett City WITHOUT his power. The JSA show up and find out Billy is in fact Captain Marvel. Meanwhile, Mary Marvel shows up I guess signing up with Black Adam. All I can say, is I hope this gets better (BTW, someone tell the people at DC to let ME write Black Adam?).
Superman (and Supermen) save the day. DC, get off of the Kal-El “messiah” scthick already….
I think Superman is pretty rad. Sorry you didn't like Final Crisis.
