Billy Batson and the Magic of SHAZAM! #10 - DC

Well . . Billy still can't turn back in to Captain Marvel. Remember . . last issue he was staying in the Captain's form for a long time, and the longer he did so . . the meaner he got. Mary finally helped him get switched back, but now they need to get to the Rock of Eternity and tell the Wizard what's going on. If anyone can help them, it's him. Anyways, on the way to the Subway station they come across a bank robbery. It's unique in that it's being robbed by ordinary citizens. There's this nerdy guy, who calls himself Axe, and he uses his guitar, Matilda, to hypnotize the people around him. So he's actually the one robbing the bank, but he doesn't have to do any of the dirty work. Anyways, Mary switches to try to go in and help, but he just hypnotizes her. So now it's up to Billy. He accidentally finds out that the coins short out his guitar, so he throws a whole bunch at him. Afterwards Billy's concerned that the evil and anger from Captain Marvel is starting to seep into him as well. When he was beating up Axe . . he was enjoying it. So now he and Mary desperately want to get to the Wizard. I like this book. Yeah it's for kids. But I think Art Baltazar, Franco and Byron Vaughns are doing a great job here. As I've said before, there's really no other outlet for Captain Marvel right now . . except for Freddie, over in Cry for Justice . . but Captain Marvel isn't really anywhere to be seen. Except for here. Basically . . I'm sayin', we have to take what we can get. But I really do like this book. It's fun.
