"Black Adam Squishin' Faces, or: Discuss All Things _52_ Here"


          

Since that Civil War thread is popping off despite that book only being monthly, here's our own little thread to up weekly for mandatory Black Adam tribute, headscratching, wiki links on relatively unknown characters, and other sort of puzzling things.

Which is one of the things that's really appealing to me about this series, though. It's like a puzzle.

So. Black Adam killed noone last week. What's his body count so far? I remember Terra Man, the terrorist, and the extortionist. That's a little behind schedule, yeah?

Oh. And, after re-reading, thumbs down on the Great Ten. At least so far, but they do get at least a second chance.
