Since the 1970s when I started reading comics, I've always loved "Shazam" - the original Captain Marvel (Marvel comics STOLE the name "Captain Marvel" and applied it to a crappy hero of their own, so DC Comics can't call him that anymore- don't get me started). In the 2020s, Shazam got a new life thanks to Comic book writer Geoff Johns, who created an extended "Shazam family" - from Billy Batson's foster family. - IF you saw the Shazam movie, you've already seen them.
This graphic novel is called the 7 Magic Lands, and I THINK it will be the basis of the storyline for Shazam 2, the movie. Even if it isn't, it's a great read!
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Legendary comics writer Geoff Johns continues his modern reimagining of Shazam following the hit 2019 Warner Bros. movie starring Zachary Levi.
In these stories, after a stop at the mysterious subway location of the Rock of Eternity, source of his mighty powers, Shazam and his foster siblings take a trip to a series of magical lands including the Funlands and the Wozenderlands. But these dreamlike fantasy worlds hide a nightmarish reality, as the young heroes must face the tyrannical King Kid and try to avoid being fed to hungry tigers.
Collects Shazam! #1-12.
