The gods have leveled up, and Shazam is no match for them! After Wonder Woman’s changing of sides to save her Amazon sisters, Billy must use his quickly fading wisdom of Solomon to formulate a plan to stop his world’s destruction. Little does he know a secret ally awaits him in Olympus…but how will he make it there? Sounds like a job for Wonder Girl!

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Mar 30, 2023

    Its fun to see Captain Marvel contrasted against a couple of superpowered women who are much more poised and sharper than he is. Its a nice dynamic. It isnt always easy to show the boy-in-a-gods-body in a way that truly respects the complexity of the hero Captain Marvel. Wilson does a really good job of articulating that complexity.

    Lazarus Planet: Revenge of the Gods #2 gave us everything I've liked about this event so far distilled into one issue. Grand stakes, a highlight on lesser-known characters, fantastic art there's nothing here to object to. I'll be sad when it's over, but Gods, am I enjoying it while it's here! Read Full Review

    It's unfortunate that this issue comes right after the Shazam movie's struggles, but I think this issue captures what makes the character work nicely. He comes off as a true everyman (or boy) in the middle of a larger-than-life story. Read Full Review

    An action-packed installment with excellent artwork, great character design and believable dialog. The cliffhanger ending has me excited for what comes next in issue #3. Read Full Review

    Lazarus Planet: Revenge of the Gods #2, despite having nothing to do with Lazarus Planet, is a rock-solid Shazam issue in the middle of a Wonder Woman arc. The art is fantastic, and G. Willow Wilson's writing is stellar, but the dialog hits wrong in a few spots when newer characters treat Shazam like the new kid on the block. Read Full Review

    The art is pretty solid throughout, which is helpful but overall, this is just an average comic that feels weirdly out of place, crammed into two different "runs" is were and not really fitting into either. Read Full Review

    This story arc now feels like its starting to feel stretched out instead of a nice tight event that makes up in importance what it lacks in length. Read Full Review
