Billy Batson And The Magic Of Shazam #1
Welcome to the brand-new, all-fun adventures of Billy Batson as the World's Mightiest Mortal - Captain Marvel, from acclaimed writer/artist Mike Kunkel (Herobear)!
Thanks to a magical rift created when Captain Marvel battled Mr. Mind's monsters, 14-year-old Theo Adam has been returned to Earth from banishment. For Theo, there's just one problem: He can't remember the magic word that gives him the powers of Black Adam. There's only one solution: follow Captain Marvel and get the word out of his alter ego, 11-year-old Billy Batson.

It will be interesting to see what Mike Kunkel will do with Captain Marvel. I'm expecting it to be a cross between Jeff Smith's Cap and a Chuck Jones or Friz Freleng cartoon.

I'm all for anything that gets away from the crudfest that was Trials of Shazam.

@ Josh: Thanks. I guess I will have to go back and read my issues cuz I was always under the impression that it was somewhat ongoing back when I first picked it up.
By the way I'm thinking about having my first printing of Herobear #1 slabbed cuz it looks like they are going for a premium price on ebay. JUST KIDDING!!!

This is a book I have been looking foward to since I read about it on the internet. It looks like Calvin and Hobbs meet Shazam. I am very excited. Herres hoping it lives up to my own build up.

Whatever happened with Herobear and the Kid? I loved that series when it came out.
