The Trials of Shazam

[TheCorpulent1]

I bet it pales in comparison to my mom's.

 

[Memphis Slim]

How much more powerful is Cap now............????

 

[Anubis]

Billy or Freddy?

 

[Darthphere]

Steve.

 

[Anubis]

Oh, He's dead.

 

[sethcohen]

[Varient]

So,... is this EVER going to be finished?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It's got one issue left now, so probably.

 

[sethcohen]

its been pretty consistent in it schedule since casicioli started on art chores... i think howard porter was making the book late...

The Trials of Shazam! #11
"It's the same one she used to steal Atlas's power"

...uh, am I missing something, Winick? Atlas' power wasn't stolen. He killed himself and Apollo took over and gave half of his power to Sabina willingly. Please don't tell me you just fcked up your own continuity in your own single miniseries, because that would be hilarious. In a horrible way.

What else to say? It's pretty much as average as prior issues in a miniseries that should have ended months ago. The plot is not horrible, but what's up with Mercury having the same exact shtick as Apollo? That's just not a good idea in a series whose entire storyline depended on coming up with original and interesting ideas for these new gods. Are you finally realizing that you ran out of room for actual story, Judd, by wasting everyone's time with your horrible stock antagonist? Meanwhile, Billy and Freddy's interaction is so unbearably...sterile. It's just there. There's not a single spark of the people they once were, of their past relationship. Shadowpact appears here, for no reason that I can discern other than to exposit some exposition that one would know if, y'know, one read the issue before this issue.

As far as I can tell, issue number twelve still hasn't been solicited. Thanks, guys. Thank you for making this last so long. Truly.

Jesus Christ! Freddy sucks. He doesn't have the stones to get any job done. I hate him and he's gonna make a ****ty Cap Marvel. WTF

 

[storyteller]

Wow isnt this a switch. It used to be Dc used captain marvel in good ways while Marvel wasted theirs with multiple versions. Now Marvel has a kickass captain back and dc has gandalf.........

 

[TheCorpulent1]

You never read anything about Marvel's other versions of Captain Marvel, did you?

 

[Anubis]

If he did he'd know that Genis Pwns his Hal Jordan Esque pappy.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Preach it.

 

[sethcohen]

lolz at Genis locking Rick in the microverse 90% of the time hahaha and green kree uniform > cap'n marv uniform

 

[Anubis]

Read number 11 of Trials. Still awesome. Still Beautiful. Got some pics to scan for the greats of comic art thread. This Cascoli Guy's work is sweeter than bee p***y.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

You need to quit ****ing bees. That's not right, man.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I still can't get over how bad Freddy is at these trials. Unbelievable

 

[BrianWilly]

Bees. My God.

 

[Anubis]

I still can't get over how bad Freddy is at these trials. Unbelievable

Well, it doesn't exactly help when the guys are running from them and psyco rasta b***h is killing them and stealing their mojo.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

But the rasta b***h is so much more willing to get the job done. If you gotta take a god's kids hostage, so be it. Freddy's a ***** :

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Hahaha, I think that's supposed to mean that Freddy's more heroic, not a *****.

 

[Anubis]

Well, it's ultimately gonna have to come down to them having one last big fight, winner take all. And we'll have our new mullet wearing Captain Marvel.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Unless we get a new dreadlocks-wearing Captain marvel instead. We haven't actually seen post-Trials Freddy in any comics yet, have we?
