“Things Change”

"Things Change" kicks off a fresh chapter in the Shazam mythos with Captain Marvel stepping in to protect Sinclair Batson, Billy's wealthy and unexpected cousin, from looming dangers. Jerry Ordway's sharp writing and Peter Krause's dynamic art bring a grounded yet magical energy to Billy's struggle to balance his heroic duties with the weight of family expectations—especially as Uncle Dudley offers support and the Wizard questions whether Billy is taking his powers seriously enough. The story's emotional core is anchored in change, legacy, and the quiet moments between the lightning strikes, all rendered with care by Ordway on both interior and cover.
