I really liked it, really..
First, I would like to admit that this IS my very first Shazam book. I read a lot of team books with Shazam in them as well as the Crisis arcs. So I know the score. What I didn't like here most was the art. Obviously Mike Norton has a stylized theme but there are certainly moments of greatness in this issue. But overall, I couldn't decide if he was going for well drawn Silver Age or Poorly drawn kiddie comic. I would perhaps, like to see someone else draw this book. I did really like the story overall. Especially, the little twists near the middle. But honestly, none of it really made me all that excited. Except the introduction of the new character. If he gets his own book or perhaps continues as a big part of a new story that would be great. But with all the uneven stuff in this issue; I just wasn't all that impressed. However, it did make me want to know what happens next. Which might be a good enough win for this issue.
