The current Black Adam comic book series from DC Comics has introduced the Akkadian pantheon of goddesses and gods to the DC Universe. Looking a bit like this.

But in the new Black Adam #11 out on Tuesday, we get a little more information about the origins of these gods and goddesses. And it feels a little familiar.

They were microscopic space organisms, cosmic dust, that read thoughts and transformed themselves into their current form. Hang on, haven't we read something else like that really recently? In Superman: Lost #3 last week?

Microscopic organisms that can read minds and can come together to form godly figures and images? Before being eaten by space dolphins? And both being written by Christopher Priest? Are these the same beings, a galaxy apart? Black Adam #11 is published by DC Comics tomorrow. And Superman: Lost #3 was published last Tuesday.
