Shazam! #1
This collection kicks off the 2024 Shazam! series, introducing a new era for the Captain as he navigates the challenges of being a superhero with his unique blend of youthful energy and godlike power. Written by Mark Waid with art by Dan Mora, the volume redefines Billy Batson's world while honoring the classic mythology, setting the stage for fresh adventures and conflicts.
In "Meet the Captain! Chapter One," Billy embraces the dual life of a superhero and a regular kid, using his Shazam powers to help stranded dinosaur aliens while trying to keep his head down. But just as he finds his rhythm, unexpected challenges test his ability to balance the extraordinary with the everyday.
In "Meet the Captain! Chapter Two," Billy grapples with the fallout of the Captain's volatile temper as the Psycho-Pirate reemerges, testing the hero’s control. Meanwhile, Billy’s rescue of the dinosaur aliens brings unforeseen complications, and Freddy uncovers something strange at the Rock of Eternity.
In "Meet the Captain! Chapter Three," Billy struggles to resist the power of the magic word after the Captain’s increasingly unpredictable actions put him at odds with his own control. Forced to act when a new threat emerges in Gorilla City, Billy must confront the chaos he’s trying to avoid—while Freddy, unaware he’s being used, becomes entangled in a divine scheme that puts him at odds with his best friend.
In "Meet the Captain! Chapter Four," the Captain battles Garguax and his forces on the Moon, where the alien warlord teams up with Queen Bee to dominate the cosmos—until a sudden assault by the Gorilla Militia from Gorilla City throws the conflict into chaos. Still wrestling with the gods' influence, the Captain must navigate the escalating war without losing himself.
In "Never Too Late," Mary races to the Moon just in time to join Billy and the Captain in a desperate stand against Gargaux, Queen Bee, and the Gorilla Militia, all vying for control of a powerful warp drive. As the Gods' influence twists the Captain's actions, the fate of the cosmos hangs in the balance.
In "Meet the Captain! Chapter Six," Billy faces down the divine forces manipulating him as the Captain, refusing to be a pawn any longer. With Freddy and the other Shazam siblings standing beside him, he seeks wisdom from Solomon to turn the tide—though the path to victory remains uncertain.
