Black Adam finally has Isis back. Faust was true to his word, but . . he kept her revival a secret from Adam. Really, he's been trying to keep her to himself. But you know that couldn't last. The problem is . . this time Isis at Black Adam's side won't be the calming influence that she's been in the past. She's felt the evils of the world, and the hopelessness of it's future. So together they go to the Rock of Eternity to wrestle away the control of it from Billy Batson, the new wizard. And their first recruit for the new Black Adam Family? Why Mary Marvel of course. "Oh, as long as Billy's involved, I'm involved. And I promise . . I'll behave. Mostly." Meanwhile, the JSA is coming apart at the seams because of their splitting of the ranks during the whole Gog incident. They basically kick Hawkman out . . although they call it a 'time-out' . . a period to cool off and regroup. But he's pretty pissed and I don't think he'll be back for a while. And now, they're going through the youngsters trying to figure out who should stay and who should go. Hehh, I just had a flash of the Clash song run through my head there. Anyways, the team is in disarray here, but they're going to have to pull it back together soon because at the end of this issue Billy sends out a distress call for their help. For some reason they're both looking for Freddie. Geoff Johns is still on board, although I believe this is going to be his last story-arc. And this issue is brought to us entirely by Jerry Ordway. This could be an interesting story-arc, and could set the guidelines for the new Shazam family dynamic. Maybe we'll get a new Shazam, or Captain Marvel related book out of this. Here's hoping!
