ITEM # World War III #1 – 4

From the pages of 52, the fate of Black Adam against the world. World War III focused on Black Adam’s rage over the savage death of his family and the after effects of his attack on Bialya, the nations he held responsible. It opened with an attempt by J’onn J’onzz, the Martian Manhunter to stop Black Adam in the ruins of Bialya. J’onzz, traumatized after the villain allowed him to telepathically see every man, woman, and child killed during his attack, fled into space to deal with the disturbing images and Black Adam continued his rampage. By the main part of the story, set during week 50 of 52, Black Adam was tearing an even bloodier path across the world. He savagely ripped the face off father Time, hurled an aircraft carrier at New York City (which was saved from devastation by Firestorm, who turned the carrier to snow), destroyed the leaning Tower of Pisa, and killed Terra while fighting the Titans. When Black Adam’s rampage reached China, the country’s main super hero team – the Great Ten – proved helpless against him.

By the end of the series, even Darkseid had apparently been killed, and both Apokolips and New Genesis merged into one world. Darkseid’s final destiny was seemingly revealed in “Final Crisis.”
