Shazam - The Monster Society of Evil
Scans from Shazam - The Monster Society of Evil. I love this mini, it's adorable. Written and drawn by Jeff Smith.



Billy's running from a homeless guy, who's been stealing money from him.

Those last two panels always make me giggle. Anyway he heads to the Rock of Eternity and the Wizard tells Billy that he has a sister. Cue the adorable reaction.

He finds Mary and they have a really sweet exchange.

I love the two panels showing Billy's change from protective to loving. Afterwards Mary zapped by lightning when Billy transforms which leads to..

Why do the children look like bobble heads?

Human children do tend to have larger proportioned heads, but the real answer is Jeff Smith cutesified them.

There cannot be enough good things said about this mini. Sure, it's weird seeing Captain Marvel and Billy Batson side by side, but that can easily be fanwanked aside (like Cap says, time and space are smashed together in the Rock of Eternity, the normal rules do not apply). And when your only complaint is that one thing is weird, you've got no complaints.

I also loved that mini. I also liked Jeff Smith's interpretation of Mr. Mind, making him a snake thing instead of a worm. Whenever I read his Mr. Mind, I imagine him having the voice of Maurice LaMarche (Father from Kids Next Door).

Maurice LaMarche will always be The Brain, to me.

Of Pinky and . . .

Which fits Mr. Mind, yes?

Thumbs up for this. I'm going to buy it and I hardly ever buy new comics.

This is wonderful. Is it worth buying and is it a good intro to Captain Marvel?

Absolutely totally worth buying, there's a graphic novel collection of it out now.

Generally speaking, I prefer Billy Batson to be a LITTLE bit older than this, but really, that's my only complaint. Mary is very believable as a little girl, and I like the bit where Captain Marvel happily munches his hot dog. As a fan of 'Bone', I should really get this one of these days - once i have that strange and mysterious thing known as 'money', that is...

I know how you feel. I've been out of work for two months, and I'd love to pick this up. That, and some of the Wake graphic novels.

Oh! When Mary's got her hood strings all pulled tight, I don't know why but it just kills me!

Oh! Same. It's just too cute. It seems like the exact thing a little kid would do. She's upset and embarrassed and wants to hide but also doesn't so she just hides her face. It's so lovely.
