Before we can see Black Adam in theaters, they will publish a comic about the character played by Dwayne Johnson.
DC Comics is preparing a solo series of Black Adam and can be read from June 21, a few months before the film sweeps theaters. The comic brings together an amazing team headed by the writer Christopher Priest (Deathstroke, Justice League), the artist Rafael Sandoval (Justice League) and will have the covers of irvin rodriguez (Detective Comics).
Christopher Priest revealed in a recent interview that: Forgive the cliché, but rarely have I been so excited about a new project. DC Comics has given me an incredible opportunity to explore. To some degree, re-imagining this character in a very new light, while also presenting him with new challenges and consequences for a man who has lived too long and is desperate for redemption. Rafa Sandoval brings voltage to each panel. That’s why it brings out my Kirby-Simonson instinct as Rafa’s gifts take me places I never knew I wanted to go. My only regret is that we only have 22 pages a month for this.”
While Rafael Sandoval said: “I’ve been a lifelong fan of all things Shazam! and one of the things I’ve always wanted is to draw a charismatic villain and Black Adam is perfect for this. This is the first time I have had the opportunity to work with Christopher Priest… his attention to detail and openness make him a great creative partner.”
Comic Synopsis:
