Good to see Yang still writing at DC .

That scene with Batman reminds me of him busting Cluemaster in front of a child Stephanie Brown.

Looks interesting, to be sure.

So, "Monkey Prince", huh? Does that make him Sun Wukong's son? Or a reincarnated Sun Wukong himself?

[dietrich]

Looking forward to this.

Son, from what I've heard.

Apparently his foster parents are former henchmen of Sivanna's. That's a cool hook.

I wonder how far Yang can stretch him being anti-Superhero.

He also met Billy in his first appearance. Looks like Yang is deliberately trying to anchor Monkey Prince to Shazam, but Shazam is going to die (or is he dead already) so I wonder how all of this will end up working?

Maybe he'll be easier on Mary than he was Billy as Shazam 'cuz she's easier on the eyes ?

Since it's a 12 issue maxiseries, I'd say he'd get over it by then. But that depends on how far Yang wants to take it.

I figure Monkey Prince would take place before his death or disappearance. Or it could be Yang addresses in these 12 issues.

Lol that's one way to complicate a friendship.
