SHAZAM! #14

SHAZAM #14

Although Mary has successfully found Billy in the subway system, we don’t get an appearance by our Captain in this issue (except in the outside realm he resides between times Billy utters the magic word) despite a growing need for him the hero to appear. The Submen are invading our world, despite a captive Freddy Freeman‘s attempts to argue for peace by pretending to be the ruler of Earth, and without the Big Red Cheese to stop them what will happen to Fawcett City and the world?

Despite it allowing for part of the conflict of the issue, I would expect a least a temporary peace between Billy and Captain Marvel to be reached if only out of necessity to save the lives of everyone they love. Mary will need all the help she can get to repell the Submen and Dudley can only do so much (despite his antics)… unless of course we’re finally ready for Hoppy to speak a magic word?
