The best comic book out this week,
by far?
This one:
Yup.
And now I'm going to spoil
the living hell out of it. Because I know not you're believing me on how beautiful it is, and I need to convince you to buy it when you head into your
Local Comics Shoppe today for
FCBD.
So after the 3
Scooby Doo pictures, spoilage commences. Come back later if you don't want to be spoiled....
OK, spoilers commence!
#1 cool thing about this story? While the cover maintains the ridiculous "
SHAZAM Family" facade, in the interior
Solly Fisch gives
zero fraks about ridiculous corporate diktats:
Yup, they're called by their traditional names, and referred to as "
The Marvel Family" throughout. Take that,
nu52 idiots!!
#2 cool thing about this story?
Tawky Tawny and
Uncle Marvel, completely unironically. Because old school, fools!!
#3 cool thing about this comic book (and honestly,
the coolest)?
Yeah, they went there.
#4 cool thing about this book?
Mar-Velma tricks
IBAC into turning back into a mortal...
...while Freddy totally pulls an "
updog" on
SABBAC:
Gotta love dumb villains.
#5 cool thing about this book:
Old Man Shazam reveals how
Shaggy and
Velma transformed:
Look, I haven't bought any issues of
Scooby Doo Team-Up before this. But this issue is making me reconsider that stance.
And given that it's been 4+ years since
Geoff Johns ruined reinvented the Marvel Family as a concept, yet
ZERO creators at
DC seem in the least bit interested in doing anything
whatsoever with the new concept, this is the best dose of
Shazam that we're going to get for awhile.
So go buy it, and enjoy!
