Mary Batson can't be called Mary Marvel anymore. Well, Captain Marvel (the DC version) has to be called Shazam. And in tomorrow's New Champion Of Shazam #2, she is in search of a new name. In the past, and in different realities, Mary Batson has been known as Captain Marvel, Black Mary, Sergeant Marvel, Lady Shazam and Sergeant Shazam. But now? She is missing a name.

Well, Bleeding Cool never likes to highlight a problem that we can't so here is a suggestion – and one not highlighted in the comic book in question, out from Josie Campbell and Evan Doc Shaner tomorrow from DC Comics. You may remember the Shazadam debacle from last year. Well… what about Shazadame?

Shazadame. You know it makes sense. Certainly a lot better than Shazma'am. Also New Champion Of Shazadam will be skipping October, issue 3 will now be in November and the finale in December…
