Knight Terrors Begins In This Week's Shazam #2 (Spoilers)

The end of Shazam #1 by Mark Waid and Dan Mora, left Billy Batson in quite the pickle, losing it in front of the nation's cameras and smartphones.

The end of Shazam #1 by Mark Waid and Dan Mora, left Billy Batson in quite the pickle, losing it in front of the nation's cameras and smartphones.

And the rest of the Batson family, in this week's Shazam #2 seem to agree with his shocked reaction.

There are plenty of suggestions as to what went down with The Captain, as he is now known as. Bleeding Cool wondered if there may be some personality separation between The Captain and Billy Batson, reminiscent of Marvelman and Mike Moran.

It certainly felt a bit like a nightmare. And, two issues in, Shazam will be going on a mini-break for the upcoming Knight Terrors line-wide event, as Knight Terrors: Shazam for two issues. By the same creative team, so it's more a matter of paperwork. But Shazam #2 is the first DC Comics title after the Free Comic Book Day issue, to lead into the event, with Mary Marvel taking the first steps…

Where will she end up? And will she take Billy Batson's current nightmares with her? And is DC Comics going to regret an event that recalls the Tom King Knightmares arc for Batman that saw sales soften? It all begins this week with Shazam #2…
