Date: 2012-03-21 10:38 pm (UTC)still, it is intruiging... i dont hate it yet, but i am cautious, he is behaving more like a kid in the foster system would.., which is something that really bothered me before hand.. he was too naive... but harry potter is a good example of a orphan in bad straights who turned out good.
it maybe that he puts on this act in order to survive...? but its not his true personality...

Also, Sivana has apparently been taking his Lex Luthor pills.

Date: 2012-03-21 11:40 pm (UTC)I hate losing Mary and Junior, but we'll get diversity in the donor bodies, while the actual superhero will be a vaguely caucasian male, so it's a win-win saleswise.

Date: 2012-03-22 12:37 am (UTC)Perhaps Shazam is a shared power and any one of them can become Shazam, with Billy being the preferred host, but the others having their own take on the power as the need arises, becoming a new sort of Mary and Jr etc etc...

Date: 2012-03-22 01:50 am (UTC)I'm also liking Gary Frank's art better here than some of the other work he's done; speaking of taking off the edges, whomever's inking him is putting something there that reminds me favorably of the recently-departed John Severin.

Date: 2012-03-22 04:30 am (UTC)I assume Billy's had a really rough life, so a little cynicism and jerkiness at first doesn't bother me much. I'm excited to see where it goes.

Date: 2012-03-22 11:44 am (UTC)All this talk about "Magic is key to Shazam", it's really not. It's what triggers the change, but traditionally, Billy's alter ega was a standard superhuman, the fact that the change was triggered by magic rather than vita-rays or something was more or less incidental. Yes he fought "The Seven Deadly Sins" and even Satan on occasion, but so do many superbeings.

Date: 2012-03-22 06:21 am (UTC)He reminds me much more of Capt. Marvel Jr. He was more of a punk wasn't he?
His characterization and popualarity in Young Justice PROVES that a "boy scout" Billy can be profitable.
I just hope Mary isn't a "bad girl" or other ilk. Jesus just give them to me to write I'd write them all really well.

Date: 2012-03-24 01:39 am (UTC)It could work, I suppose, but Billy's like the epitome of the swell kid standard, and flipping that over, you get a bit of fandom hate.
