SHAZAM! #4

SHAZAM! #4 comic reviewKing Kid’s reaction to seeing Billy and his friends turn into adults when summoning the powers of Shazam have consequences for the group which he scatters across the different realms. Billy and Mary remain in the Funlands but are forced to work with other adults to keep the amusement park running as we discover just what happens to all the happy children once they grow up.

Freddy and Darla are trapped in the Wildlands where the power of Shazam isn’t working. Captured by talking animals, and likely to be sentenced to death, things look bleak for the duo. However, also on his way to prison is a familiar face for Captain Marvel fans. Pedro and Eugene at least have their powers, but they are now trapped in the Gamelands where they will have to find a way to earn enough points to earn their way home.

Looks like the heroes have their work cut out for them. And there’s a new face on the scene as well that has learned of what trouble Billy and his friends have gotten into. It appears the group will meet Black Adam fairly soon. Worth a look.
