The New Champion of Shazam! #3

The third chapter of Josie Campbell and Evan "Doc" Shaner's four-part series puts the new Shazam front and center — literally — as a young woman in the classic red-and-gold lightning-bolt suit stares down the reader with fierce, crackling determination. Behind her, a wall of Philadelphia Police Department missing-persons flyers fills the background, hinting at a mystery with real stakes and a hero who clearly isn't backing down. Shaner's clean, expressive linework makes this one of 2023's most compelling DC covers, and with one issue left to go, the tension is palpable.
