Smith's signature cartooning style brings a fresh, all-ages sensibility to the Shazam! mythos while honoring the character's roots.
In "Billy Has a Secret!", Jeff Smith crafts a pulse-pounding chapter where Billy uncovers hidden links between the Monster Society’s alligator men and a mysterious circus mystery. As Dr. Sivana tracks strange footprints, Billy and his new ally Talky Tawny face off against the alligator men—only for a colossal figure to emerge, declaring his intent to reshape the world with a second companion. When the moment arrives, Billy transforms into Captain Marvel, and Mary is struck by lightning, unlocking her own power. The story, illustrated and written by Jeff Smith with vivid colors by Steve Hamaker, features a striking cover by Smith, all set in a 2019 DC release.
In "Billy Has a Secret!", a lost boy named Billy Batson stumbles into a forgotten subway station and follows a mysterious cloaked figure, only to be whisked away to the Rock of Eternity. There, the ancient wizard Shazam grants him the power to become Captain Marvel, setting off a journey that brings him face-to-face with strange creatures and the first eerie signs of a looming threat—giant footprints in the middle of town.
In "Mary Takes the Cake!", Billy investigates strange alligator men at the circus, while Dr. Sivana tracks mysterious footprints. When a giant humanoid known as Mr. Mind emerges and declares his plan to destroy humanity, Billy transforms into Captain Marvel—but before he can act, Mary is struck by the lightning and gains powers too.
In "Sivana Comes on Strong!", Billy Batson and Mary Bromfield find themselves caught in a web of deception when the ambitious attorney general Sivana forces Billy to aid him in uncovering the truth behind mysterious giant humanoid robots. As Mary uncovers a shocking connection to one of the machines, Billy must navigate betrayal and public distrust—turning to his superhero identity to fight back. Meanwhile, Talky’s quiet investigation leads to a startling discovery about Mary’s whereabouts, deepening the mystery.
In "Mr Mind Makes His Move!" from Shazam! The Monster Society of Evil #48 (2019), the fate of Mary and the battle for control of the giant robots hang in the balance as Sivana's treachery unfolds. With Mr. Mind's chilling commands echoing through the chaos, Billy must rise to the challenge—transforming into a giant Captain Marvel to save Mary and confront the Monster Society's final, desperate gambit.
