The Trials of Shazam

[Eros]

Freddy freeman is still on the shazam quest?!

 

[yenaled]

Nope. Since everyone stopped buying it Winick decided to scrap the story and just have Freddy Freeman write poetry in his room.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

It's a 12 issue arc

 

[Darthphere]

Does he have AIDS yet?

 

[yenaled]

[Darthphere]

Colossal is so out of it.

Your zo stupit!!! They're haikus, not poetry!!!

I'm liking the series so far despite all the nay-sayers.

Maybe you like it even more because of the nay sayers. Stop. Think about it.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I like it because it's the only place to get my Shazam fix

 

[Darthphere]

Not really. I'm eagerly awaiting Jeff Smith's mini.

Your avatar looks like a specimen cup full of pee.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Not really. I'm eagerly awaiting Jeff Smith's mini.

Which family member is it gonna be about and when's it comin out?

 

[Eros]

why doesn't Billy just give Freddy the powers already? Stop this over the top Alex Ross epic ****, and give it to him.

 

[yenaled]

I'm awaiting Jeff Smiths mini more than anything ever ever.

Fact!

 

[Darthphere]

Which family member is it gonna be about and when's it comin out?

Billy Batson son.

 

[Darthphere]

Your avatar looks like a specimen cup full of pee.

I was thinking mustard.

 

[Kevin]

Yep, still love this book. Can't wait.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

why doesn't Billy just give Freddy the powers already? Stop this over the top Alex Ross epic ****, and give it to him.

Because it's making for an interesting story

Billy Batson son.

Hmm, it'll be interesting to see what the old Wizard is up to. Or should I say, "new" Wizard.

 

[yenaled]

Jeff Smiths series isn't set in current continuity - it doesn't take place in DC Captain Marvel continuty - it's a retelling of the original serial from the early 1940&#8217;s. "Captain Marvel and the Monster Society of Evil" ran from 1943 to 1945 in Captain Marvel Adventures #22 &#8211; #46.

For instance as per the original story the Wizard dies as soon as he gives Billy the powers.

It's much more of a back to basis and fun comic series than anything like trying to squeeze Captain Marvel into the DCU. Obviously it won't be for everyone but he's been working on it for two years on and off and if anyone has ever read Bone they know how good Jeff Smith is.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Oh, that makes me a little less interested since it's taken out of continuity. I've never been a big fan of retellings. Thanks though

 

[yenaled]

It's OK. I thought I would clear it up anyway.

 

[sethcohen]
