Greatest Hero
Just wanted to share the book that got me started on Captain Marvel my all time favorite hero. Also, the greatest cover in DC history.

Mesoamerican Shazam
Inheriting the Magical power from the Mayan gods...Fede Fresquez is Shazam! ⚡️ An Elseworlds concept set in modern Mexico-incorporating Mesoamerican myth w/ a blend of indigenous futurism. This a elseworlds take on Freddy freeman who would be the central protagonist.
l've ALWAYS wanted to try out a Mesoamerican Shazam for years now and after seeing a cover made by the amazing @jgonzoart it really inspired me to start this concept fully. I based my design off of his and also explored ideas on how Fede's design could change or deviate over time (possibly a plot power up?)
If y’all are interested I can share other designs I’m currently working on including Black Adam.

If I had a nickel...
This series has some pretty awesome stuff, but it is unfortunately greatly overshadowed by all the other weird bullshit in the story and the bad pacing.
Some issues are flat out just filler, and yet again... They're doing this weird cuck plotline?
Like wtf?
If I had a nickel for everytime Billy got cucked by Freddy going for Cissie, I'd have two nickels. Which is weird that it's happened even once, but twice? And within like 5 years of each other? It's so weird to implement shit like that into the comic.
Billy feels like a third wheel in his own series, which sucks because he's third wheeling to characters I don't particularly care for!
For a comic called "the Magical Mysteries of Shazam," the only mystery is who the #@&% is this for!?
Again, there is some really cool stuff in here, but the negatives keep stacking and the positives stay stagnant. I hate to be such a negative Nancy about this series but I gotta rant about this.

The current situation with DC Comics Captain Marvel feels like a Pyrrhic victory

For those who think that Cap and Billy should be separate people, why? It negates the whole "wish fulfilment" part of the character.
And if you bring up Fawcett/Earth-S, Mary retained her own personality, Freddy’s whole point as CM Jr is that he retains his young body and his personality, same with Black Adam and Teth Adam. The whole point of Captain Marvel is that a kid with a magic word can transform into a superhero, as in they are the superhero who gains all those powers and intelligence, not just sit in a limbo and watch.
Even C.C Beck in his brief return in the 1970s run, which was still in continuity with the original books chose to completely ignore that idea, seemingly retconning it.
Take into consideration other future "transforming" heroes, Power Rangers do not swap their personalities, Kamen Riders do not swap their personalities, Sailor Scouts do not swap their personalities, most of the Ultras, despite retaining their personality and sentience grant their hosts full control of their bodies.

Did this Wonder Woman for friend, should Mary get the treatment?

Personally I think there should be a main line of succession for the Power of Shazam. Here's mine from DC Comics Black Adam to Captain Marvel to Mary Marvel to Thunder to Tanist.

My review of Shazam!
I thought this movie was super good. It had my kind of humor. The idea of a kid getting super powers and having fun with them is an interesting concept. Billy was a good protagonist too. He was pretty likable and his mom is scum. It makes you feel sympathetic for him. The villain was also pretty good too. Nothing amazing but an adult being jealous that he wasn’t chosen by the wizard is a good motive. The fight scenes were pretty good too. Overall I really like Shazam! 9/10.

Between Black Adam, Doctor Sivana, and Mister Mind; which villain do you like the most?

CBR is now calling him Captain Marvel in their articles.
Years and years of referring to him as Shazam, CBR is now calling him and his family, Captain Marvel and the Marvel Family, respectively.
