There are a few Captain Marvel (the REAL Captain Marvel) items coming out I thought I might mention for fans.

Grant Morrison's Multiversity: Thunderworld Adventures will... oh heck, let me just quote Wikipedia

"The fifth one-shot, illustrated by Cameron Stewart, Thunderworld Adventures takes place on Earth-5 and features characters from the Captain Marvel family. Morrison described this book as "a classic Shazam book but it's done in a way almost like a PIXAR movie or the way we did All Star Superman. It captures the spirit of those characters without being nostalgic or out of date." Morrison noted it as his "attempt to see if you can get the pure note of Captain Marvel, with no irony and no camp and just make it work for everyone. It's like a myth, a little folk tale. It's pure." The one-shot will be published in December 2014"

It sounds AWESOME and although I wasn't blown away by the first three Multiversity issues the fourth one featuring Charlton comic heroes in an homage to Watchmen was a tremendous success as far as I'm concerned.

The second item is coming in March 2015. From Amazon... "2015 marks the 75th anniversary of Shazam! DC Comics is proud to present this new hardcover anthology collecting some of Shazam's greatest stories." Sweet. That's a definite pick up for me.
