Recently, I submitted a series of promotional art for the upcoming Black Adam movie starring Dwayne The Rock Johnson. I was super excited about doing this. I love Shazam (will blog about that character for another time) but I also love his arch nemesis Black Adam. He is the perfect Anti-hero. Not really a hero but not really a villain. Makes for complex and exciting stories.

What I really am happy about is that Dwayne Johnson is starring as this character. To that I say… FINALLY!! As early as the THE MUMMY II, when, Dwayne Johnson starred as The Scorpion King, the comic book community (who also love professional wrestling) were screaming that he would make the perfect Black Adam. Fortunately, someone got a clue and actually listened. In addition, the inclusion of the JSA members Dr Fate and Hawkman got me really excited. They are great characters that deserve a lot more light. DC and Warner Bros need to be bold in the regard.

As to these pieces, these were my favorite among my submissions. This assignment was in my wheelhouse and am elated with the results. One of them was already featured on Talenthouse Magazine and picked up on several fan zines. Getting excited!
