SHAZAM! #15

- Writer: Josie Campbell
- Artist: Emanuela Lupacchino
Billy‘s internal battle versus the Captain comes to an end, and it’s a good thing because the world being invaded by monsters needs all the heroes it can get. The finale of the arc reveals that the Captain is just an older and wiser, but not necessarily more intelligent, version of Billy Batson. Realizing he’s been fighting himself, and not some entity created by the gods, Billy speaks the magic word and gets back to work and helps push the invading monsters back to the underworld.

In the closed catacombs the Terminator finally catches up with the kids. Luckily for them, Eiko (Sonoya Mizuno) arrives soon after to buy them time to escape.

- Title: The Umbrella Academy – Six Years, Five Months, and Two Days
- wiki: link
While offering some interesting aspects, “Six Years, Five Months, and Two Days” turns out to be an odd choice for the penultimate episode of the series. Had there been more room to play with the looming finale spending a full episode on Five (Aidan Gallagher) and Lila (Ritu Arya) getting lost in subway to alternate realities or having Luther (Tom Hopper) and Diego (David Castañeda) waste their time with the CIA would certainly be worth exploring. However, that means everything else is put on hold leaving only a single episode to deal with Ben (Justin H. Min) and Jennifer’s (Victoria Sawal) badly-rendered CGI merging, the explanation for motives and events, and the final mission of the Umbrella Academy.
