Shazam! #15

In "Fries," Shazam #15, Billy Batson faces a rare moment of reckoning when his superhero duties clash with a classroom lecture from his substitute teacher about the responsibilities of heroes. After a battle with a giant robot, Billy returns to school only to find himself on the receiving end of a pointed lesson—then gets a chance to prove his understanding when he rescues the same teacher from an apartment fire, bonding over fast food and a surprisingly thoughtful conversation. Written by Jeff Loveness and illustrated by Brandon Peterson, with colors by Michael Atiyeh and letters by Rob Leigh, this issue captures a quiet, character-driven moment in the Shazam mythos, all capped by a cover by Brandon Peterson.
