I really thought this was going to be a series about Billy Batson. It seemed like that after last issue also. Now with this issue, I'm starting to think it's going to be more about Freddy Freeman. Well, Mary Marvel is here also, but she's pretty banged up. While Freddy is visiting her in the hospital, he's talking about Shazam, and is teleported to the Rock of Eternity. Or what's passing for it now. Or is it? They want you to think that this is Captain Marvel and the Rock. But is it? At the end of last issue, one of the bad guys got zapped by the power of Shazam, and that's who it looks like Freddy is meeting up with now. He claims he's Cap, and after some conversation, Freedy seems to believe him, but I just don't know. He claims that Freddy has been the next chosen to receive the gifts of power, but in order to do so he has to pass a challenge from each of the gods. So in order to get started he has to go and meet his guide Zareb Babek. Like I said, one of two things is going to happen, either this is all on the up and up and Freddy will end up with the power, after going through all his trials, or this is all an elaborate set up by someone trying to control the powers of Shazam by controlling the people most tapped in to it. Last issue Billy has the power, but it seems to be making him kind of loopy. Mary is way out of it. And Freddy seems to be the most likely candidate. But where we're going from here, we won't know until next issue. And this is only issue 2 of 12, so I expect a lot of twists and turns along the way. So buckle up and get ready for the ride.
