This week's post for Women Wednesday is the cover of Knight Terrors: Wonder Woman #1. She is joined by Bobo the Detective Chimp, John Constantine and Dr. Fate (the Khalid Nassour version). The story continues from Knight Terrors: First Blood #1 so you should read that issue first. There is also a backup feature titled "Nubia and the Well of Horrors (Part One)".

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 6: Black Adam - The Justice Society Files: Dr. Fate #1

Black Adam - The Justice Society Files: Dr. Fate #1 came out this week from DC Comics. This issue is a prelude to the new movie coming out. Cover A features Dr. Fate in his movie costume, which is super cool looking, while Cover B features Pierce Brosnan out of costume as Kent Nelson. The story deals with a group of kids summoning up a demon, who takes possession of a girl (she just happens to be named Carrie). Dr. Fate arrives to battle the demon and set things right.

Convergence: Justice Society of America #1

Convergence: Justice Society of America #1 (June 2015) is a great tribute to the pre-Crisis Earth 2 superhero group consisting of Hawkman, the Flash, Green Lantern and Dr. Fate. The artwork for the cover is okay but not the greatest.

The interior artwork really shines:

The story is also one of the better ones in this big event. The four superheroes are stuck in Metropolis as old men without powers after the dome appears. Jay Garrick aka the Flash visits Kent Nelson aka Dr. Fate in the hospital since he's in a coma. He then visits Carter Hall aka Hawkman and his son, Hector, who is also in Convergence: Infinity Inc. #1., at their rooftop garden. Alan Scott aka Green Lantern calls Jay and tells him to get to the hospital quick. Kent has opened his eyes and then Telos does his speech. The dome disappears and a weapon firing machine attacks the city. The guys thinks it is from Qward the anti matter universe. Kent gets up and tells the rest that they can be superheroes again one last time. Of course, they all accept and regain their youth and powers.m
