Black Adam #4

A young man in a white costume bearing a golden lightning bolt stands resolute against a moody teal background, his red cape billowing dramatically behind him — it's a portrait full of quiet intensity that makes the tagline "When Strikes the Bolt" feel both a promise and a warning. This is issue four of Priest, Sandoval, and Herms's 12-part limited series, subtitled "Theogony Book Four: Power," suggesting the story is wrestling with big mythological questions about what power truly means. Irvin Rodriguez's painted cover work gives the whole thing a contemplative, almost painterly gravitas that sets this chapter apart.
