SHAZAM!: Lightning Strikes #1

SHAZAM!: Lightning Strikes #1 comic reviewDespite the digital cover by Doc Shaner paying homage to the classic Captain Marvel style with a modern twist, SHAZAM!: Lightning Strikes #1 is very much a modern take on the hero with Billy Batson bringing forth his alter-ego in order to put a school bully in his place.

The consequences of the hero’s arrival at the Egyptian exhibit involve the magic lightning accidentally activating an Egyptian artifact and releasing a warrior trapped within the ankh for thousands of years (none too happy to see the temple’s treasures having been removed from the Dendera Temple complex leading to a tussle between Kaemqed and Earth’s Mightiest Mortal).

Scooby-Doo! - A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to Scooby Doo, Where Are You! for another mystery involving some meddling kids and their talking dog. Mystery, Inc. takes a trip to Franken Castle, stopping at a fortune teller (June Foray) on the way who advises them to turn back. Ignoring the warning, the gang travels to the castle where they encounter a trio of monsters including Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, and a Wolfman. Clues uncovered over the course of the episode eventually lead to treasure hidden in the castle (and motive for someone to scare off anyone else that comes looking).

While the auction draws Catwoman’s interest, we never learn exactly what her business in Isla Nevada is before we find Selina in the jungle protecting a not-so-mythical large panther from a pair of Snow Flame’s minions. You know what they say about good deeds…
