The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has forced Warner Bros and DC to push a bunch of their movies back, but you can[...]

Because rumours are dumb – but not quite as dumb as buying the Shazadam.com domain name. But also the solicit for Infinite Frontier #0 that says " At the Hall of Justice, the League joins forces with Black Adam" – well, that doesn't happen at all, Black Adam, Shazam or Shazadam. INFINITE FRONTIER #0 (ONE SHOT) The next[...]

Future State #2: Shazam! fails at the conception level because from an execution standpoint, the creative team hits their marks admirably enough The final product, however, is far from satisfying.

This comic book dives face first into that modern interpretation as Shazam is all about that hero life but drastically less interested in school or, say, his studies.

Madelyne Pryor knows that over in Hellions, right? But what about Superboy Prime? Art from Hellions #3.
