Divine Right: The Adventures of Max Faraday
comic Series by Jim Lee
Divine Right: The Adventures of Max Faraday is a twelve-issue comic book limited series created, written, and drawn by Jim Lee and published by American company Wildstorm from 1997 to 1999. Its protagonist is Max Faraday, a computer science student who inadvertently becomes the receptacle of an incredible mystic power.
Plot
Millennia ago, a gigantic creation engine fell to Earth, crashing in the Middle East. An engine capable of unthinkable power, it was later to be called the Creation Wheel, potentially able to provide a user with the power of God. It would lie dormant for centuries, with its power creating a holographic realm of energy-projection known as the Hollow Realm, regarded as the gates of Heaven by the artificial beings who lived there.
However, whilst there were people willing to wait for the Messiah, others wished to take the power for themselves and begin again, rewriting the universe to their own desire. The principal architect of this dream was the shadowy (Cardinal Lazarus), backed with the might of Lord Acheron, the villainous brother of Tobruk, and Lord Jesthra, a powerful minion.
The story then flashes forward to the modern day, minus a few years. Operation Divine Right, run by the super-espionage group I.O (International Operations), has uncovered the Creation Wheel. The Dark Arts, a sub-section of I.O, working with the Coda assassins and Lazarus, sponsor a translation of the futuristic hieroglyphics by Mattheus Senreich, rendering the codes into a binary number string known as the Creation Equation, which supposedly allows an individual to access the full power of the Creation Wheel.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Divine Right: The Adventures of Max Faraday” as comic Series by Jim Lee. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as comic Series by Jim Lee. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 16, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q3032285. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1997 and 1999.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
