After a night battling robots across the globe, Billy Batson finds out not everyone loves superheroes when one of his teachers unleashes a lecture on the ethics of unchecked power and privilege. It’ll take more than just the wisdom of Solomon for the teen hero to figure this one out.
Shazam #15 serves as not only a touching final issue, but shows us a glimpse of the Shazam series we might have had. Not to knock on Geoff Johns, but he bit off a lot more than he could chew with his overly complex storyline. Loveness has shown that keeping it simple can be much more effective than throwing everything at the reader at once. Read Full Review
SHAZAM #15(@JeffLoveness @BrandonPeterson @atiyehcolors #robleigh @DCComics) is a beautiful, gut-wrenching story about being the change you want to see. An unexpected but delightful end to the series. Read Full Review
This was a sweet issue and if its the last standalone Shazam series for awhile, the book went out on a high note even if Im standing waiting on an encore. Read Full Review
Shazam! is one of the most wholesome, fun, and bright books at DC Comics. Issue #15 is a great spark in how this character's dual life as a boy and an adult hero can create unique situations that lead to warm and endearing stories. Read Full Review
While most of the run has been a big cosmic story in the classic Geoff Johns fashion, these two done-in-ones have done an excellent job of showing us a day in the life of Shazam. I just hope the Shazam family doesn't stay MIA as long as they did since their last solo series. Read Full Review
Is this your champion? With swinging fists and limited intellect, it appears that it is … and you'll like it! Read Full Review
This issue is a one and done story that does well at capturing the world and character of Captain Marvel, adding in enough levity to make this a worth while read for comic lovers across the board. Read Full Review
Is this a perfect finale to this series?....... No, but if you're a fan of something I don't think an ending ever really feels perfect because you don't want to see the characters you love leave, but what we get here is a great looking issue that gives us an interesting look at what Billy perceives of super-heroics and how he'd like to be better as a hero. The biggest problem with this book overall is that the rest of the Shazam Family are absent and some of the concepts of the series feel weird when presented here. Read Full Review
Oh my God, I LOVE this
probably one of the most underrated DC Comics story out there.
Was this... good? Was this a good Shazam issue?? I don’t know what’s happening anymore.
Hey DC, give this guy more stuff to write instead of putting him on filler issues until the next reboot. His two justice league issues and this issue are better than most of the ongoing issues that have come out in the past year. He clearly has the chops to write good stories and dialogue
Between Justice League, Shazam, and the Emmy win I hope Loveness is given an ongoing run on something soon.
A pretty heartwarming one-shot. Billy should have transformed back when he said Shazam though.
This was a lot of fun. A nice one-shot.
