Title: SHAZAM AND THE MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL Preview!!! Post by: Super Monkey on November 25, 2006, 09:46:45 PM http://www.newsarama.com/dcnew/Nov06/previews/nov28.html
It looks like it will be well worth the wait! Title: Re: SHAZAM AND THE MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL Preview!!! Post by: Michel Weisnor on November 26, 2006, 10:56:43 PM Yes indeed, this book looks like a true winner. I hope SHAZAM! doesn't get too "mature" and just stays fun.
Trials of SHAZAM....on the other hand :-X Title: Re: SHAZAM AND THE MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL Preview!!! Post by: nightwing on November 27, 2006, 10:41:58 AM Yes!
Everyone else keeps inching Billy older and older with every re-telling. Now Jeff takes the opposite tack and makes him YOUNGER than the original. "Good electricity." I like it. ;D Title: Re: SHAZAM AND THE MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL Preview!!! Post by: Permanus on November 27, 2006, 01:02:01 PM It's certainly got that proper, stocky, cartoony feel to it (though I think the storytelling could be slightly more economical - five pages for this scene is a bit on the long side). I'm looking forward to this; Jeff Smith is perhaps the only person who still produces artwork like this!
I've been reading The Trials of Shazam, which is rapidly becoming one of those titles that I know I'm going to buy but am unlikely to re-read. Do DC think they have some sort of sacred obligation to turn everything into a Vertigo title? By which I mean: nebulous and full of obscurantist pseudo-science. Title: Re: SHAZAM AND THE MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL Preview!!! Post by: DoctorZero on December 29, 2006, 10:10:38 PM I am unimpressed with the Trials of Shazam. Hopefully it will be forgotten out of continuity.
The Monster Society looks good, however. Title: Re: SHAZAM AND THE MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL Preview!!! Post by: Kuuga on January 10, 2007, 01:35:02 PM Saw a preview of this and I absolutely loved it! I haven't been this excited about a Captain Marvel book since Dini/Ross Power of Hope.
Trials of Shazam is such typical garbage. I am going to support Shazam and The Monster Society as much as possible to counteract it. I'm even starting a pullbox again for the first time in *years* just for this title. I'm getting the individual issues and the eventual trade to. Heh, I might even buy 2 copies of each issue. One for me and one to thumb my nose at Trials. :P Title: Jeff Smith Captain Marvel Interview Post by: Michel Weisnor on January 16, 2007, 04:16:56 PM http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=97714
