Trials of Shazam #1

[fastballspecial]

I agree its not perfect, but enough to keep me coming back. Winnick doesnt disappoint either.

Just got a chance to read this last night.. Pretty darn good.. Better than I had expected. I can't say I've ever been into Captain Marvel, and from the little I knew of the older stories I thought it was a book aim at a really young audience. I was really surprised with this one.. Obviously not a kid's books. Billy is now 15, which is a much better idea than what was it? 8-10? Gives more options.. I really enjoyed this one and really looking forward to the rest. I'm now, officially a Captain Marvel fan.

Glad to see that otherworld, though that might mean Ivan and I have more competition in get those sweet "World's Mightiest Mortal' books.

 

I finally read this last night. I like the take on it so far but I have to say the artwok could use a little help. Hopefully, it will get better. Anyway, can't wait until Issue #2.

Tim, I only have 3 issues in my "must buy if I see them" list; not much competition from me!

[Timulty]

Yeah but there are "Targets" of opportunity that show up from time to time. And I am not the biggest collector of GA Captain Marvel Books. Of course, I am notoriously cheap so that might have something to do with it.

Hey Tim, I promise not to give you any competition....yet. .. You're right about the art, unfortunately... not jumping off the page. But yep, definitely looking forward to the rest of the series. I know its going to be at least 12 issues, but do we have any word on a new ongoing series?

[Timulty]

None that I know of. Wouldn't be surprised if there is an announcement based on how well this series does. I really hope the artwork doesn't kill a chance at a new series though. If Porter's work gets better, well maybe there is a chance.
