About this Collection

This collection brings together issues #23-25 of the 2007 Justice Society of America series, focusing on the complex relationship between Black Adam and his wife Isis. The story explores their struggle for redemption and the consequences of their violent methods, as the Justice Society confronts the couple's dark path. Written by Geoff Johns and Jerry Ordway, with art by Ordway, this arc delves into the tragic romance and moral ambiguity of two of DC's most formidable anti-heroes.

In "The Power of Shazam," the Justice Society of America faces off against Black Adam and Isis in the heart of Kahndaq, where Mary Marvel shares her powers with her brother Billy. As the battle escalates, the spirit of Shazam returns, and the fate of the heroes—and the city—hangs in the balance. Written by Geoff Johns and Jerry Ordway, with art by Jerry Ordway and inks by Bob Wiacek and Jerry Ordway, this pivotal issue features a stunning cover by Alex Ross.
