flint_marko: (Black Adam & Isis)
[personal profile] flint_marko posting in [community profile] scans_daily


Shazam shares his powers with his foster siblings, turning them all into Marvels (which was already posted).

The seven deadly sins find the most rotten man in the city, Mr. Bryer, and turn them into their host, making him a giant demonic monster.

Shazam tells the others to help evacuate the streets while he goes after Black Adam.

While the others fight the demonic Bryer, Shazam fights Black Adam. They end up at the zoo, and the tiger Tawny attacks Adam. Shazam shares his powers with Tawny, making him a giant. 

Shazam and his siblings start to lose their powers, and Black Adam tells Shazam that he enchanted his animal avatar incorrectly, and that he's damaged the spells he's already cast.





Billy transforms back into Shazam. The Seven Sins sense Black Adam has been destroyed and leave Bryer, leaving him naked and powerless.

Absolutely! I forgive them everything (except maybe Phantom Stranger) at this point because this is what I'd been hoping for with the series. I assumed the Flashpoint Shazam (and that may still be what occurs in the Trinity War), but having individual Shazams was pretty darn terrific! (I still miss not-blond Freddy though)

I forgive them nothing, and in fact read less and less DC with every month, but this turned out far better than it threatened to be at first, and all the stuff that seemed like wrong turns--especially with Billy--in retrospect work. It does make sense, if he still thinks as Billy, that the first thing he'd think to do is have fun and make a buck off it--that's what Peter Parker did at first too. And Sivana is looking his proper self now, so I'm fine with it. And thank GOD that they didn't end up actually doing that awful Flashpoint thing of having them be all merged.

So all in all, I think it's a successful reimagining that's lighthearted enough to ring right. And a hell of a lot more entertaining than the book hosting it.

It's also a good of diluting the Shazam power so as to not make him superior to Superman-level (which he should be at full power). I know Ordway did the whole power-sharing thing with Mary and Freddy back in the Power of Shazam thing but it was either treated as a joke (Billy losing a arm wrestling match to Supes because Mary/Freddy said "Shazam" and robbed him of power) or quickly forgotten (generally whenever they wanted to have a Superman/Captain Marvel fight). Maybe this time they'll stick to it.

I just hope giving the Marvel Family extra members doesn't result in them being used as cannon fodder in some future crossover. That is DC's M.O. and we know they have no problem killing off little kids if it gets the readers to "feel something" (i.e. Lian Harper).

I doubt it. If nothing else the "New" DCU is all about promoting diversity of appearance, and each of the new kids represents a desirable minority. Freddy and Mary had best watch their backs, though.

I should be noted that supposed "diversity of appearence" came with giving two (three if you count Ma Hunkel) fat heroines supermodel figures, so let's not set our hopes too high.
