Shazam! #8
In "The Captain vs. Black Adam Part Two," Billy Batson grapples with the aftermath of a battle that left the Vasquez family home in ruins and forced him to confront the consequences of his actions. As he tries to shield Mr. Dinosaur from his own people, who seek to punish him for breaking interplanetary law, Billy also faces the very real threat of being separated from his siblings. Mark Waid’s gripping storytelling and Goran Sudžuka’s dynamic art bring emotional weight to a moment when heroism collides with loss, while Dan Mora’s striking cover captures the tension of a young hero at his breaking point.
