    This was ok for what it was, essentially an all-ages slice of fun with the character being made as recognisable as possible for any new fans brought in by the movie. Read Full Review

    This issue delves into some of that kind of material pretty well while also making sure there's some good action to be had, some humor, and a good bit of character material. Jurgens is solid as always and Moore gives the book a great look throughout with more detail than I expected for a book like this. Read Full Review

    There's some nice action here along with some kid-friendly banter. Even if the story misses the point of Billy becoming a bully when publicly shaming Esposito, I don't think many are going to feel too sorry for the character who redeems himself by the end. While I'm a much bigger fan of the more classic version of the character of Captain Marvel, fans of the more modern take on Shazam may enjoy this one. Read Full Review
