“Rising”

In "Rising," Adam—transformed by Zatanna's homo magi DNA—wields godlike power and begins to see himself as divine, setting a dangerous course. Gypsy hunts down Pamela Cross, while the Martian Manhunter, as John Jones, uncovers a twisted web of betrayal tied to a murder, with Artie—husband of the victim and lover of Norma Simons, Burt Biloxi’s secretary—revealed as the killer. Written by Gerry Conway and Michael Ellis, with dynamic art by Luke McDonnell and inks by Bill Wray, this pivotal issue features a cover by McDonnell and Wray.
