    I'd be absolutely delighted with any of those ^ showing up!

    Although Addam's Family? LOL! Now you have me picturing the kooky and spooky crossover, where the Addams Family call on some magic word maybe reveled by Grandmama', and all get powered-up and team-up! LOL!:

    Gomez and Billy/Shazam
    Marry & Morticia
    Pedro and Pugsley
    Darla and Wednesday
    Eugene and It?
    Uncle Dudley and Uncle Fester
    Tawny and Kitty Kat.

    That would be great too.

    This issue I believe was the first to have Eternity teaming with Billy. Not sure how often that was, but I do like how they work together.
    Also worth noting, this was from the era that coincided with the SHAZAM! TV series, so we have Dudley in the Mentor role, and the use of that weird device in the RV to summon the "Elders".






    It was also set in Phily, the current setting for the Shazam series, and apparently the new Movie.
    I wonder if it had an influence?

    Good point. Yeah, that character is named for the Egyptian goddess, but unfortunately, Isis nowadays means terrorist. Thanks a lot, so-called Islamic State! So if she ever returned, she'd probably need to be rebranded.

    I know she also has a presence on the time-jumping Legends (played by Tala Ashe), although I haven't watched it. Not sure how they've been portraying her there.

    The worst they could do is cave, give up the name, and surrender to that, for that reason.
    As indicated she had it first, further it goes back to an Egyptian goddess.
    Mass media just used the acronym for a easy catch all, that people could then parrot like morons.
    Terrorist never even actually called themselves or identified as that. If anything they'd likely destroy any images (ancient or modern) that recognized, identified with or celebrated her. It was never their name, stop giving it to them.
    DC should never kowtow to any of that, and never surrender the name.
    To the contrary give her back her comic, put her out there full-force own it, and take it back.

    Looks like Shazam will be making his debut on TEEN TITANS GO! sometime soon:



    Hey, no such thing as bad publicity, right?

    I mean...aside from the name they seem to be going for such different audiences and stories that I'm not sure what there will be to compare.

    Yeah, they're only being talked about in the same conversation at all because Shazam used to be called Captain Marvel. The films don't seem to have a lot in common apart from that link.

    Speaking of movies, a few years ago, British comic publisher DC Thomson had a movie planned, Bananaman. It ended up cancelled, and I wouldn't be surprised if Shazam is the reason - because Bananaman is actually a parody of Shazam, Superman, and Batman. He even changes from a boy in a red jumper (Eric Wimp) into the superhero.

    Not talking about the names/stories but regarding the money at the box office. Shazam will be the movie that is the latest one from the WB, therefore it will stand in comparison with Marvel's latest movie. Which let's be honest its a big success, I doubt that Shazam stands a chance of being such.

    I dont think Shazam has to worry too much about Carol's film. I mean, Endgame hits a couple weeks after Shazam. Billy will have a little bit of time to nab headlines and then he'll be buried and forgotten under the weight of the biggest Avengers film yet.

    But beyond that....man, I am all over that Reis variant cover! And I'm very much enjoying the new title. And the movie looks like it might be a lot of fun. So I feel like Billy is actually in a really good place, even if his film is going to be squished between a Marvel property that uses his old name and an Avengers film with more hype than god behind it.
