Speaking of fashion, this looks interesting:

Yes, the artwork was really expressive! The scene where they react to their tv commercial and Mary’s the only one who liked it!

I LOVE that scene, especially when the "animation" from the TV commercial parodied the Superfriends.

Can't forget about her dynamic with Fire .

It was amusing when Billy was so against Mary having a friendship with her.

For sure. I loved everyone's interactions in this book, honestly.

One of my favorite interactions was between Mary Marvel and Captain Atom. After Nate introduced himself, Mary flew off while wanting to continue to have children and thinking that interacting with Nate would cause harm towards her well-being.

As soon as they all land outside the headquarters there's all this commotion and hubbub while they talk to each other and the only thing Captain Atom is on about is Mary. "Can someone please tell her I'm not dangerous to be around?!"

Poor guy was so hurt, lol.

Wait, what run are you guys talking about? When was Mary evil? I love the fact that she was/is the most innocent hero, especially in this day and age.

During Countdown Didio had Mary become corrupted and become evil. She got the all black costume.

But that wasn't even the worst of it. During final Crisis they made her go full blown psycho with pink hair and half a shaved head. Was pretty bad.

Yike, I'll stick to the readings I know and like, lol.

LOL!

I believe Bob Oksner drew only two Mary Marvel stories in the 1970s, but his version of Mary is my all-time favorite.

The Countdown Mary meets the real Mary.

I hated evil Mary as much as the next guy, but in her defense she *was* under the influence of one of the Apokolips New Gods. Desaad, I think it might've been? And before that, in Countdown, wasn't it Black Adam who twisted her mind with corrupted power? So she wasn't really herself. It's basically just one big long "hero gets mind controlled" story, and every hero has gone through that.

But gods, it was awful.

Hey, do we know what Mary and Freddy (and the other kids) are calling themselves now that Billy isn't Captain Marvel anymore? Mary Shazam? She-Shazam?

I hope they're not going with something like "Ms. Shazam!".

Shezam.

(just kidding. Let's not give DC any ideas.)
