For this issue of Black Adam, we're going to be dealing with what happens to a Black Adam after he's dead. I'm talking about the afterlife and I'm talking about what happens to the people around him after he's dead, like his descendant Malik White, who Black Adam just passed his powers down on to. Let's jump into this issue and see if the story gets a bit more in line with what continuity has going on, outside of Dark Crisis obviously, since it already went and made the big step in making Malik at least tolerable. Let's jump into this issue and check it out.

Our heroes have found Barry Allen, but will his dream world let him go? We have a weird development going on where when Wally confronted Barry inside of his dream world, Barry saw his former sidekick as the Reverse Flash, and not only that, but Wallace West became mesmerized by his family in this world to the point where he stopped worrying about his mission. Yeah, it seems like these worlds have some defenses to keep Barry busy and to make sure nobody gets him out. Let's see if we can free one of the Fastest Men Alive as we continue our Dark Crisis tie-in because if we can free Barry, we can free the rest of the Justice League, and with that, hopefully, we can fight back the forces of the Great Darkness and Pariah.
Batgirls #9 give the cauldron break from big threats to have a little fun by setting a trap for KGBest. Unfortunately, playtime is cut short when they find the next victim of the Hill Ripper.
In our previous issue of I Am Batman we got ourselves a surprise in the form of Renee Montoya, but not only Renee but her alter ego, The Question. That's right, it's time for Jace Fox to have himself an old-fashioned team-up and who better than The Question to get that started with her pursuit of finding out who really shot Anarky during Fear State. While I do love me a team-up, I will say that bringing back Gotham characters after leaving Gotham so that this book could have its identity this soon feels like a misstep to me but maybe it's simply here to set up Renee's book coming down the line. Let's jump into this issue and see if Batman and The Question can get to the bottom of this mystery.
Like normal, I'm not sure if The Rising has happened yet or is currently happening, but what I do know is that Jon Kent, Superman has finally taken the battle to Bendix. After the previous issue where Superman and Jay Nakamura fought off a Bendix-controlled Senator, who turned into a giant octopus monster, the war between our hero and villain is going to kick off proper because, by the end of that issue, everyone in the world discovered that the person behind The Truth broadcasts was none other than Jay Nakamura, the son of the former President of Gamorra. Believe-you-me, Henry Bendix wasn't happy to discover this bit of information and may just take it out on Jay's prisoner mother. Let's jump into this issue and see what Superman is going to do to end this war before it escalates. Let's check it out.
