The World Wakes Up To Shazadam Being A Thing In Infinite Frontier #0
A month ago, Bleeding Cool made mention that DC Comics was going to be referring to Black Adam as Shazadam in Infinite Frontier. Now we had no idea how long this would last, no idea if it would go further than that issue, maybe it was a balloon sent up by Brian Bendis for introducing the character into Justice League? We didn't know. Admittedly, we didn't expect the reaction it got.
Well, now Infinite Frontier #0 is published and people are discovering that, yes, it is not a joke, it is not a gag, it is not an imaginary story.
And that a group of people in another country who Black Adam has been helping, when no other superheroes are there to help, is being referred to by the name of Shazadam. And they are very insistent to Superman that this is the case.
And now people can read it for themselves. See the people calling him Shazadam, and Superman's reaction that "maybe this is who he wants to be now". And folk get to make their own mind up – and react all over again…
And hey, IGN and CBR? Don't bet against Bleeding Cool. It never goes well.
