Billy and his family have seen so many marvelous things in their journey through the Magiclands, while facing tough opponents and even tougher questions about family, loyalty, and integrity. Now they're about to face an onslaught of all their greatest foes! Will they have the wherewithal to triumph? Find out in the penultimate chapter of "Shazam and the Seven Magic Lands"!
Although the story's complexity is getting out of hand, it still is a fun story and I have been enjoying it. I will be relieved to see this first storyline reach it's resolution. The impending confrontation with Superboy-Prime has piqued my interest and I can hardly wait to see what that story holds. Read Full Review
My only real concern is the involvement of one of Johns pet projects who could be a real wildcard in the story, but also seriously derail some of the hard earned momentum. For now, its looking like this will be a fantastic ride. Read Full Review
As Shazam heads into its second year, it's maybe a bit overstuffed and jumbled at points, but it's clear that this is the closest we've gotten to a vintage Geoff Johns superhero book in a while. I just wish we were getting more of the kids out of combat. Read Full Review
After a slow start the arc, "SHAZAM and the Seven Magic Lands" is picking up the pace and barrelling towards the finish line withSHAZAM! #11(Johns, Kolins). Read Full Review
Artist Scott Kolins does a killer job with the Monster Society, which all have a unique pastiche to them that gives them an edge over just reading about the Shazam family. Read Full Review
While we definitely get some answers in this issue about what's been going on with the Wizard, Billy's father and Mr. Mind, I wish some of it could have been played off a bit better than thrown at us all at once here, but I can admit that it certainly made for an exciting issue. The art is okay overall, but as the issue progresses it gets less and less detailed and some of the visuals left me scratching my head. Overall all though, I had some fun here and can't wait to see what this series brings next. Read Full Review
Prelude:
Johns' Shazam has been great so far. Let's see how it goes near the end of Shazam and the Seven Magic Lands.
The Good:
Love the twist
PRIME TIME!!!
I enjoyed Kolins' art.
The Bad:
The wizard Shazam was a bit much this issue.
Conclusion:
A very good issue of Shazam. Only some minor character choices were wrong for me.
A *Prime* example of a comic book.
Solid story and art that reminds me of Mike Grell.
I liked this issue, but Superboy Prime already annoys me, so that's nice.
" I knew something was up with the supposed-to-be-dead-but-hes's-not the Guy ! Classic super-villain twist."

Lame twist
Oh my god that’s Superboy Prime. I’m rioting.
