DCU: Legacies #9

In "Knight After Night!" from DCU: Legacies #9, Paul Lincoln reflects on the fragile hope that followed his wife Peggy’s remission—only to be shattered when the Sun-Eater plunged the world into darkness. As Parallax rekindled the sun, its return brought a new threat: the Spectre, twisted under Asmodel’s control, became an instrument of vengeance, and Parallax seized that power to forge a path of redemption.

In "Snapshot: Resurrection," Shazam reflects on his long, solitary quest to find worthy successors across the ages—first the pharaoh Kha-Ef-Re, then Prince Khufu, each chosen too late, and the fateful empowerment of Teth-Adam, whose fall led to the rise of the Marvels. The story traces the weight of that legacy through the enduring battle between the triumvirate of Captain Marvel, Mary Marvel, and Captain Marvel, Jr. and the ever-revived Black Adam.
