Black Adam #5 Review

BLACK ADAM: THE DARK AGE #5 (of 6)

This was the first time I've been let down by an issue of Black Adam. It wasn't bad, per se, but it wasn't as insanely good as the previous issues either. However, I understand why this issue had to be like this. Tomasi had to move certain players into position and have Adam get the missing pieces of Isis' amulet which, in turn, made this mostly a set up issue.

Despite the slow pace of this issue, I still very much enjoyed it. I really liked the exchange between Atom Smasher and Adam. It was a nice throwback to the JSA days. I'm still not sure who is behind the UN forces chasing Adam or if they are just random governments ordering his capture.

Verdict - Check It.
