NEWSARAMA: Back to Black Adam - his word was "sorry?" Captain Marvel changed it to that? And he has the wisdom of Solomon? I mean - wasn't that, or wouldn't that have been one of the first words he said or at least a really likely one if say, he visited Isis' grave?
MIKE MARTS: Did you read the end of 52 or World War III? Did you see what Black Adam is capable of? Still think the word “sorry” is even in his vernacular?
MM: ...Black Adam editor Michael Siglain assures me that there are still one or two big pieces to Black Adam’s puzzle to be discovered in his upcoming August mini-series.
Pffft. I checked Amazon.com and couldn't find a listing for "Defend Your Shoddy Plotting" anywhere; apparently Marts and Joe Quesada are the only people lucky enough to own this book on dealing with silly fan complaints. Never straying from his programming, Marts deftly pushes still more comics without the inconvenience of y'know, addressing a fairly direct question. Newsarama plays it civil, and what they get back sounds like:
You obviously didn't grasp how kick ass the writing was in those books. So far over your head it's unbelievable, fanboy.
Just wait and see. It'll all be explained perfectly in a separate mini-series that you'll have to buy to understand our otherwise self-contained[1] mega-event.
Addled by the DC bigshot's defensive offense, the poor Newsarama staffer didn't even get to raise the second question of just how Black Adam has somehow changed his magic word back to "Shazam".
Here's to you, Mike Marts. Here's two more Magic Words, especially for you. Shazam!
