I am so proud of this title!
I really believe in Shazam!; not just the character and the story, but the (to my mind) clear superiority of this version over the current DCU incarnation, and this excellent writer!
I invite--- I implore!--- our membership to read and support this title, as this is as good (and better!) a Captain Marvel as is out there!
Aaron, terrific job with wrapping up this storyline, and setting up an exciting and interesting new Cap status quo. Can't wait to see what Sivana has in store! Will the Mad Mummy be back? Will Mary find out Billy's (and now Freddy's) secret? And just how will Freddy react to his new role?
Speaking of Freddy--- great introduction of a character as classic as Cap himself! His relationship to Cap is perfect (I even liked the wizard's doubt--- it'll be interesting to see how that plays out), and the conversation around his rechristening makes a lot of sense.
And what can I say about that cliffhanger ending?!? OMG! Next issue is going to be off the chain! The world will shake when these titans meet!
A final note: this is the last issue plotted by me--- from here on out, the genius of this writer will shine on it's own (and, boy, just wait 'til you see what he has in-store!)--- but eveyone needs to know that what thoughts and ideas I had, Aaron has developed and made brilliant reality. This title succeeds because of his talent and effort, plain and simple.

this was the best chapter yet! You have nailed this book, and though Dave had influence on the story, the writing and character was all you, and man you've done an awesome job on this.
****spoilers... kind of****
as soon as Shazam commented "I've made that mistake before", my heart started to race. I knew who was coming and it tickled me to know end.
Great first arc! Great cliff-hanger! Great book! This has officially become one of my top five monthly's on this site. 5 stars!

I have never really gotten into DC's version of Captain Marvel for some reason, but DC2's Captain Marvel has completely changed that.
The characters perfect and actually seem like real people. With the introduction of my third-favorite DC character of all time, Shazam! is now a title that I must read.
If there was a way to give you an Internet standing ovation, I would.
Five Stars just for the issue itself and if it were possible Ten Stars for the cover.
Keep it coming.

First off, tremendous cover, Dr. Dread. Ten stars indeed.
I can't express enough my gratitude for the praise this title has received. I'm not sure if it's worth an "internet standing ovation" but I've got a lot of love for the Cheese and I hope it shows.
I have to give massive amounts of praise to our esteemed EIC. He has been downplaying his contributions to this title but make no mistake he shaped this first arc so well that it was child's play to make his vision a reality. I only hope I can continue to keep the standard as high as he has set it.
Thanks David.

I could go on all day about why DC2 characters are better than DCU versions, where applicable. But that's a rant for the discussion threads after I've been here a while. Suffice it to say I only know Cap by reputation and wish him to take Superman in a fight. I saw him and Black Adam briefly in a Wonder Woman-centric crossover called "War of the Gods" in the DCU a long time ago, when I was younger and DC was closer to what I thought it should be. I've seen Cap and the "kid marvels" since a few times, in passing. But this is so primal, so basic, so excellent......I am amazed. I am awestruck. I only wonder why the Mummy collapsed. But I think we'll probably find out. You have my undivided attention.  |

Another super cool cover Doc! Aaron, it seems that only can you kick my ass in trivia you can tell tell one heck of a great tale! The conclusion of this arc continued to add to the Marvel mythos with the addition of 'junior' and the surprise appearance at the end was just...  I am confident in your ability's here Aaron and I know we are in for a heck of treat in the many months to come! |
