Spinning out of the weekly series 52 comes a new epic that follows Black Adam, the new über-villain of the DCU -- and he'll go to any lengths to resurrect his wife, the deceased super-hero called Isis. With the power of the gods stripped from him, Teth-Adam is on a quest to find both the magical word that will restore him as Black Adam and the one thing that always kept his heart from turning completely black with rage: his deceased wife. Black Adam is the man responsible for the deaths of thousands of Bialyan citizens and widespread destruction across the globe. He is a man on the run from Earth's heroes, who want to see him brought to justice. Some want him tried before a world court, while others want retribution; and some simply want him dead as quickly and as quietly as possible.
