I don’t know who Eric Wallace is, but Black Adam is a definite buy for me.
Is this just continuing on Captain Marvel or on the whole aspect of Black Adam/Isis? Cause I think the latter is going to be tied to a bigger story later down the line.
I think this will answer some questions the JSA arc left.
I am *so* looking forward to this; just hope I don’t have to go to a different shop to get it.
…don’t care so much about Blackest Night, but always enjoy stuff involving the Marvel family so I’m in. That JSA arc really did leave me wondering what book they’d tie up those loose ends in. The wizard going after Freddy, etc.
Let’s just hope this starts the ball rolling and putting the Marvel Family back the way it was instead of the mess ‘Trials of Shazam’ left it in.
I got suckered into Weird Western Tales for zombie Jonah Hex, hopefully this issue will actually be entertaining.
I flipped through this before I made me call as to whether or not to buy it. The severe lack of living people made me put it back on the shelf.
This is one of the better of the revivals and I never read Shazam! at all.
Cool. It did something different. 4/5 for just that alone. Enjoyable. Better than last week’s revivals.
This was enjoyable, but it was also the comic book equivalent of a cock-tease.
Much better than WWT, still nothing special.
This is part of the BN continuity?
Yes.
I’m torn on this. In BN terms I can’t see how it made any sense with Osiris doing what he did. On the other hand, it was a really good one-off issue of a conflicted character. I see that is part of BN continuity, but I think I’ll just pretend it’s not becuase I’m not sure how Osiris can do what he does while, let’s say Martian Manhunter, can’t.
@Notsoeveilsteve The Magic of Shazam. Early easy "logic" to explain it away. Compare it to the why Jason Rausch can use his firestorm ability to swap himself out with Ronnie Raymond but still appears to be corpse of Jason.
