Let's just say when Peter David made a cliffhanger out of everything after his first run on the book being a dream? There was a mighy happy Carla until reality kicked in. Not only is the new Shazam fun and entertaining all around, it's not pandering or 'anime' to catch kids's attentions. Not everything has to be XTREME, you know.

I remembered wondering why the Hulk wasn't in his own comic. Marvel AND DC make no bones about their mainstream books not being for kids. If a character is not part of the Johnny DC or Marvel Adventures line, tough. Which is why I was so thankful for Jeff Smith's Shazam. A new Captain Marvel book that my child can read - amazing!

Because promoting a movie with a book containing no basic conception of the character, sexual harassment and oh, what was it, like freakin' shot of the Hulk's ELBOW in it is really going to appeal to the masses?! Yikes. Everything's going according to plan at the House of Ideas... Do not get me started on that piece of crap 25-cent issue they put out around the Hulk movie.
