This is turning out to be a very nice mini-series. First, Peter J Tomasi is putting together a very compelling story-line. I really like the way he's handling this character. Then we have the artwork of Doug Mahnke. It is simply . . . Fantastic! I've been a fan of Doug's for quite a while, but I have to say this is some of his best stuff I've ever seen. Maybe it's because of the inkers, but this book is visually brilliant. I mean just look at that cover. And the actual cover looks even better with the moon shining behind them. Anyways, Teth is still working with Faust trying to figure out how to bring his wife, Isis, back to life. Faust is still trapped inside Fate's tower, but Teth has agreed to help him get out, if he helps him with Isis. So now he has to find the pieces of Isis' lost amulet, that Mary and Freddy scattered all over the globe. And for some reason he only has a limited amount of power, so he doesn't want to waste it, and only stays in his Black Adam form for short periods of time. Unfortunately he's in that form when he goes to the Museum in St. Roch, Louisiana. While there he's confronted by Hawkman. But he uses some of his powers to beat him and get away. After which, Hawkman calls the JLA and JSA together to apprehend him. They've also teamed their forces because they captured an assassin in Gotham, who was trying to kill Teth, and from them they learned " . . . as anonymous, well-funded group that is paying a steep price to capture and kill Teth-Adam . . . . these assassins are scattered around the globe and receiving updates as to Teth-Adam's possible location from a centralized hub . . . . . whoever makes the killshot stands to gain a fortune. That is not going to happen . . . . we're bringing Adam in our way." But then on the final page . . it looks like one of the assassins have found him. Like I said before, this is a very appealing series, both story-wise and visually.
