52: La III Guerra Mundial
Los cataclísmicos eventos de Crisis Infinita han dejado al mundo sin sus tres mayores iconos: Superman, Batman y Wonder Woman. La pregunta es: ¿quién se alzará para defender el mundo en su ausencia? Esa es la premisa de 52, la serie semanal éxito de la temporada que ha atrapado a miles de lectores. En este volumen se vivirá, desde otro punto de vista, la III Guerra Mundial narrada durante la semana 50 de 52.
Una nación entera destruida. El índice de muertos no hace más que subir, superando el millón de fallecidos. Se trata de un tapiz de sangre y dolor confeccionado por la rabia de un solo hombre: Black Adam.
Debido a los acontecimientos narrados a lo largo de toda 52, Black Adam busca venganza y es entonces cuando el mundo entero se alza para detenerle. Pero con los tres héroes más poderosos del mundo desaparecidos, ¿será suficiente?

The World War III limited series (collected here) serves to elaborate on the events of 52, and in particularly week 50 (refer 52, Vol. 4). Now, if you’re going to read World War III I’m assuming that you’ve read 52, otherwise a lot of what’s going on here will be lost on you. Sure, you could read it for the action sequences, but you’ll come away from it somewhat baffled. The provocation and eventual unraveling of Adam is explained in some detail over the course of 52, which is what gives this collection any emotional meaning.
I can understand how some readers won’t like this. It’s quite violent, and the carnage Adam leaves in his wake is appalling. If you don’t like Black Adam as a DC character at all (villain or otherwise), you’d do better to steer clear. He scythes through the DC heroes like a hot knife through butter, and chances are you’ll see some of your favourite characters beaten to within an inch of their lives (if not killed outright). I’m guessing Teen Titans fans don’t like this arc much.
The biggest criticism leveled against World War III is that it represents overindulgence by the writing team. As for myself, I found it fascinating. It’s a rare thing to see an Alpha level DC character at full tilt (that’s to say, a character with power comparable to Superman). If you’ve ever wondered just how powerful Adam is, this should put that argument to rest. But the thing to remember is that, in essence, he’s a grief stricken man, driven insane, who is lashing out. If I’m to be completely honest, if I possessed this kind of power and somebody killed my wife… let’s just say I will not be taking the moral high ground here.
This is one hell of a fall from grace for Adam, but 52 shows that he was provoked intentionally to destabilize the world’s balance of power. I won’t say more than that for fear of spoilers. Just how that works out… well, you’ll really have to read 52 to see.
It is also interesting to note that quite a bit of the story is told from the viewpoint of The Martian Manhunter, considering that he didn’t really feature in 52.
Now, do you need to read this if you have read 52? No, you don’t. It doesn’t add to the overarching story. Like I said, however, it’s a rare glimpse into the kind of super-violence super-characters can potentially unleash, but it isn’t a must read. I personally enjoyed it a lot. I found it a refreshing change from the kid gloves approach - Adam plays for keeps here; there’s no beating around the bush.

This was pretty okayish. 2.5 stars.
It starts with Black adam after the loss of his family attacking every country and well fighting heroes first the Teen titans and while thats happening we follow Martian Manhunter as he ponders quetsion of being human and through him we see various viewpoints and heroes after the Infinite crisis aftermath and the events of "52" and its amazing and his life also, then JSA vs Black adam in china which has huge ramifications and changes a lot of things. World war III almost happened.
This story is pretty okay and is mostly about Black adam and his anger and his new status quo with what Shazam does to him. It can be a dull read if you don't know about the above mentioned stories but if you do it reads fantastically. The art is pretty good for the most part and I like the way they develop J'onn by the end so it is a good one time read!

Well, this probably wasn't necessary. The World War III miniseries filled in some of the blanks on Black Adam's rampage across the world, which ended in the 50th issue of 52. This trade collects the four issue mini, plus that 50th issue. It's sadly dissappointing. It is kind of interesting to see what all Black Adam was up to, but it just wasn't needed, and it really doesn't add that much to the story.

I'm a big fan of 52. I've been a big fan since it was originally being published, and I became a bigger fan the better the weekly comic got, when Charlie died so poignantly, when Steel got to defeat Lex Luthor, when Booster Gold finally found his niche, when Lobo quit his brief tenure as space pope, when Sobek chomped down on Osiris...
Ah, about that. Kind of the big turn that started Black Adam's descent into berserker madness, that led to, well, World War III. But the full story of Black Adam's rise and fall occurs within the pages of 52 itself. World War III never seemed essential, just something that happened when DC realized its big weekly comic experiment had struck a cord with readers. When I say I'm a big fan of 52, I mean that I rank it among the all-time greats, something any true superhero comics fan ought to read, an era-defining creative achievement from era-defining creators (Johns, Morrison, Waid, Rucka). World War III doesn't have any of those guys. This is not to say Keith Champagne and especially John Ostrander can't be taken seriously, but as a true 52 experience, you kind of expect to have the 52 creators themselves involved. It's like a different band debuting a new Beatles track.
And so for years I didn't really consider World War III particularly essential to the experience. But then I read it again. The story is actually incredibly coherent. My vague memories of it were of random Black Adam carnage, mauling his way through various superheroes, not much in the way of relevant storytelling. But as it turns out, all four issues are narrated by Martian Manhunter. And the whole thing sort of does what 52 was ostensibly supposed to do, which was explain what happens when Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman aren't around. How does everyone else step up?
It looks like this. 52 spun out a lot of fascinating narratives, and featured characters undergoing significant transformative experiences, but none of it actually, except maybe Steel, explained how any of them filled in the gap left by DC's Big Three. Black Adam's rampage creates a true crisis, big enough to be billed as WWIII, obviously. I'd love to report that it's Martian Manhunter who defeats Black Adam, but as in the pages of 52, it's still Captain Marvel (I mean, Shazam). This volume includes 52 #50, which encapsulates the compressed version of the crisis, and what exactly defeats Black Adam, but reading World War III, it becomes clear, thanks to Martian Manhunter, why DC's landscape emerges so different "One Year Later," the line-wide jump that followed Infinite Crisis and which 52 supposedly filled in. But a lot of the moments that explain the key developments actually occur within World War III, including Martian Manhunter's, which was later explored in an excellent mini-series.
Infinite Crisis was all about reflecting on how dark superheroes had gotten over the years. Jason Todd's brief turn as Nightwing (teased and not explained in World War III), as well as Martian Manhunter's journey, sheds further light on how DC intended to move past that, by having the heroes confront themselves, in essence, rather than let a psychopath like Superboy-Prime bludgeon them over the head about it. (Jason, the second Robin, is eventually confronted by Dick Grayson, the first Robin, in the pages of Nightwing, and later resumes his identity of the Red Hood, which he's maintained ever since, since the New 52 and Rebirth eras generally on the side of good.)
So now I consider it to be a worthy companion to 52, and in some ways more of a complete statement of 52's stated goal than 52 itself. This is not to say it's at the same level as a creative achievement, but as familiar superhero storytelling goes, it's exactly what needed to happen. So it is essential, in a way.

A weak tie-in to 52 that focuses largely on Martian Manhunter, who is nowhere to be found in the original book. Beyond the Martian rethinking his view on humanity, this book really does nothing.

Not nearly as good as it should have been, but it's still an interesting read.

Puntaje: 4.2
Uno de mis arcos favoritos de 52 fue la Guerra Mundial III, este comic me gustó mucho, en especial porque Martian Manhunter nos da una visión más holística de todo lo que está sucediendo y la destrucción generada por Black Adam.
Me impresionó la muerte de un personaje, tengo que averiguar si esta fue su muerte definitiva en esta continuidad.

Black Adam's rampage from 52, extracted and displayed in longer form, with the Martian Manhunter's touching narration.
December 10, 2021
In the 52 limited series that occurred between 2006 and 2007, Black Adam lost his closest members of the family when his brother-in-law Osiris and his wife Isis were killed. The tragedy was so devastating that Black Adam put the blame on everyone and began to kill the human race and fight against superheroes. To stop the madness, countless superheroes of JSA and JL along with Teen Titans, Doom Patrol assemble to take on Black Adam.
World War III is a four-issue limited series that gives the readers a clear thought about how powerful the ruler of Kahndaq is and what it means to be an antihero in the storyline. Again, the story inclines towards the emotional side of Black Adam that gives the impression of the superheroes fighting for the wrong cause whereas the case is different.
Very impressed with Patt Olliffe and other artists' drawings. Especially when all the superheroes are about to attack Black Adam. Martian Manhunter commentates in most of the segments.
Black Adam - The Dark Age events happen immediately after this.

This wasn't necessary at all.
World War III was an interesting wasted concept of DC, everyone at one point or another had asked ourselves what if...?, in this case: What if one of the most powerful characters in DC Universe go on a killing rampage? Well, this happened, and was a waste potential.
In this comic are interesting moments before closing the 52 series, however the story could have been handled better and another reason as to why no one apreciates this event as to what it is, is because not even DC gave it importance, a big moment like this happened and we never talked about again.
In conclusion, if you want to see what happens when one powerful villain goes on a fight againts the world, and you have the time, read this, otherwise, is just a waste of time and you can finish 52 without necessarily reading this.

World War III Review:
World War III is a 52 event by Keith Champagne and it focuses on the DC superheroes trying to stop Black Adam's havoc throughout different cities after the death of the Black Adam family. Now I wasn't really familiar with this story nor ever read any of the 52 books. But I gave it a shot because of how intriguing the premise is.
It ended up being a huge disappointment for me imo. While the art is really good and the comic is filled with action scenes that are really well done and some shocking moments. It is however a story where barely anything happens. It didn't feel like there were any stakes and the fact that it is even called World War III.
There really isn't anything world war related here and also a lot of the heroes were de powered as well. It is basically just stop Black Adam for the whole book and nothing really happens that much. Which was again, a huge disappointment. It also doesn't really help that the writing is a bit mixed as well. So in the end, a forgettable story for DC.
4.5/10

This story takes place during issue 50 of the DC Comics 52 WEEKS series. It's basically the big battle between Black Adam and the entire DC Universe (other than Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.) This just came across as a little unnecessary. There was some interesting character development, mostly coming from the Martian Manhunter who was sort of the narrator of the series, but overall, it just felt like an add on and not integral.
That being said, it was still a decent read.

Let me start by saying this is high 2 star review but I just couldn’t give it a 3. They story is rather pointless as I bought it in hopes of learning something new not found in the 52 series. However it was an obvious cash grab as it adds nothing to the overall story. It’s like buying a movie’s deleted scenes instead of the movie.
February 21, 2021
Simple review, this was fine but served no purpose. This takes place in issue #50 of the 52 series and nothing more was needed to tell that story, so DC decided a four issue limited series made the most sense. The art was very good though, especially some of the two pages spreads. Overall, not much happened here but it looked good.
January 18, 2021
Wow, Black Adam is not joke.
November 20, 2025
Some good martian manhunter stuff but overall total trash that barely makes sense and a very early 2000s fat joke about Amanda Waller
September 8, 2023
I reckon they were tasked with setting up all the things 52 was too awesome doing its own thing to set up, but the result is a rushed, muddled disaster, barely functional as a piece of storytelling.

Reseña de Roberto Jiménez para Fancueva:
http://www.fancueva.com/comic/52-la-t...
52: La Tercera Guerra Mundial, mala manera de atar cabos sueltos
52 ha sido una serie semanal disfrutable al cien por cien. Aun con sus momentos de bajón y sus semanas que avanzaban bien poco, lo cierto es que el resultado final es un muy notable cómic de superhéroes. Además, debería servir para que las dos grandes, DC y Marvel, se diesen cuenta de que hay muchos personajes abandonados por el camino a los que se les puede sacar su jugo y no tener que estar explotando constantemente a otros (Lobezno, por Dios, muérete un rato largo, a ver si dejas de salir en todos los cómics de Marvel).
Claro que para eso hay que tener un guión solvente y un dibujo que cumpla. Parece fácil decirlo, pero no tanto hacerlo. La prueba es que 52: La Tercera Guerra Mundial, miniserie surgida en la semana 50 de la principal, baja y mucho el listón en ambos aspectos. La culpa ha de achacarse a las prisas, sí, pero también a lo extraño de la idea.
Porque 52: La Tercera Guerra Mundial fue pensada cuando los editores de DC se dieron cuenta de que 52 había tomado un camino algo distinto al que ellos pretendían. En la serie principal no se estaba contando casi nada del año que pasaba entre Crisis Infinita y Un año después, de manera que 52 iba a terminar dejando muchas cosas en el aire.
Pero, claro, lo que no has hecho en 50 comics semanales, no pretendas hacerlo en cuatro. Porque las explicaciones que Keith Champagne y John Ostrander nos tratan de vender sobre el Detective Marciano, Aquaman, Batgirl, Jason Todd, Supergirl, Firestorm o los Jóvenes Titanes son tan apresuradas (¿Donna Troy llega a salir en algo más que en la portada?) y están realizadas de manera tan esquemática que, al final, nos quedamos igual que estábamos antes de leer este cómic.
Por si fuera poco, 52: La Tercera Guerra Mundial es un relato aburrido, sin puntos de tensión a los que agarrarse, muy convencional en su aspecto gráfico y que no aporta nada a la serie principal. De hecho, puede no leerse y te seguirás quedando igual. O mejor, porque no habrás malgastado diez euros en un tebeo de esos que ya estás olvidando según los lees.

Thank god for the second two issues written by John Ostrander because the first two were just some of the most boring and insignificant comic books I've ever read. The whole 52 weekly comic book idea was interesting in the beginning but it died quietly in the end and this WWIII thing just nailed its coffin shut. Ostrander pulled some good bits with Martian Manhunter although there wasn't a lot of space to manouver. Just goes to show who's actually a reliable and dependable writer amongst the lot.

World War III : Black Adam vs. everybody else! :D
Sorry, but I don't see why he gets to kill millions and millions of people before they are able to stop him, with having like a gazillion superheroes with their "amazing" powers...
Since I was reading "52" I thought okay let's take a break just before the end and give this one a try...
But I must say, this chapter was absoluty redundant.. It didn't add anything valuable to the story according to me.
Of course, you're free to see for yourselves ;)

Spin-off della maxi-serie "52" della DC comics, senza infamia senza lode.
E' incentrato su due figure: Black Adam da una parte, Martian Manhunter dall'altra, con un mucchio di eroi a fare da comparse. Qualche disquisizione filosofica interessante, sparsa qua e la tra le pagine.
Disegnato in modo discreto, la trama non è nulla di eccezionale.

Some details on the 52 battle with Black Adam, and lots of Martian Manhunter doing a fairly typical state-of-humans monologue. Worth it for 52 fans to fill out a very abridged sequence in the main storyline, but otherwise avoidable.

Wow a comic without Superman, Batman or Wonder Woman... This comic was awesome and very well written, the art was also awesome. Although I was a bit sad with some of the deaths but all in all a very good read :)
November 30, 2014
Whose bright idea was it to make Black Adam so god damn OP? What editor thought it was a sound plan? Was this all for that epic KRA-KOOOOOOM between Billy and Black Adam (probably)?
Extra star for Amanda Waller being Amanda Waller.

this is by no means an essential read. it really doesent add much to the 52 experience. that being said its not bad, its just mediocre.

A pretty good adjunct to 52, though I'm not convinced it's either got much meat or would stand on its own
