After a hard-fought battle against Black Adam, Superman and Wonder Woman decide on a desperate tactic to ensure that he remains subdued. But Shazam (and his alter ego, Billy Batson) wonders if this is the right thing to do. How much longer will he remain loyal to Superman's campaign?
Tom already shows how the heroes are taking things a bit into the extreme. Stripping Black Adam of his powers and nearly killing him because of how vulnerable he became. There is a line to be drawn and for those like Billy, he's losing himself and can't help it. Another solid issue that addresses the problem as it progressively becomes more intense. Read Full Review
It's unfortunate we have to wait to see the developments with Batman and his team, but in the meantime, this issue revolves around what Taylor does best: characterization (unless you're a Wonder Woman fan, that is).

Just because we know the outcome doesn't mean we know the journey and that's something Taylor continues to prove to us every Tuesday. Read Full Review
Kevin Maguire's penciling with Rosemary Cheetham on colors bring about an appropriate visual change to match the issues shift in focus.

Without a doubt, the creative team headed by Taylor for this chapter have turned out a solid issue. Read Full Review
