The Shazam family is no more? The Black Adam family is no more? Say it isn't so. This story-line is far from over, but it appears this issue that everyone has been de-powered. Basically Isis is out of control. Also Mary has transformed Billy into a Black Adam version of herself. When Black Adam and Isis return to Kahndaq, Isis immediately began killing all of it's population. Black Adam tries to stand up to her, but his retaliation is tempered by his love. No matter what atrocities she commits. It takes Atom Smasher to get through to him. "Do you see what you've done Adam? Stop threatening someone for once and look at them. Look at what your power has done to Billy and Mary. Look at Isis. Your power has corrupted her . . like it's corrupted Mary and Billy. Don't you see, Adam? Your anger is so strong it's stained your powers. You need to call them back." But he's afraid to. He's afraid that if he pulls his powers back into himself that his beautiful wife will once again be a corpse. But the spirit of Billy's father, and Jay Garrick have another idea. They traveled to the Rock of Finality and retrieved the Wizard's body. It's been transformed to stone. "The Wizard knew he could never take back the power he bestowed upon you. But you can return the power to him. And then he will save Adrianna from your corruption and from death." Reluctantly, he does as he's asked. Everyone is returned to their human form. But the Wizard? The Wizard seems extraordinarily angry. He refuses to give anyone their powers back, and he turns Teth and Adrianna into statues. Afterwards, Billy and Mary seem lost. And after everyone's gone . . someone shows up with some evil intentions for Teth and Adrianna. "At last. I have my own champion to play with." The only good news this issue? The JSA has decided to keep everyone on board. There were rumors that they were thinking about downsizing, but . . " . we want you to stay. Every single one of you. We were the ones who made a mistake. We were the ones who forgot . . . you don't give up on family. And that's what the Justice Society is. What it's always been to me, family." This was another fantastic issue by Geoff Johns and Jerry Ordway. So now what? So what happens now . . to the Wizard, Billy, Mary, Teth, Adrianna and even Freddie? Only time will tell, so . . I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
