Is jim lee REALLY continuing art duties on this ish cuz i heard he was last ish and was dissapointed to find out he hadnt. Comics are $3.99 now which is insane and i pay for story AND art, Jim lee is one of my favorite artists but it is sad that sum artists nowadays cant even put out one book a month back in the day jack kirby was doin about 4-5 books a month.

Looks pretty good. And the title "The Villians Journey"? Ingenious. But the 50% price increase for a bit of Shazam? Not fairly enticing. If I wanted a Captain Marvel comic I'd buy one. So [frick] it. No dice, DC.

looks cool...DC wake up, how about starting the plan and set up for a JL movie now?!

Darkseid would be a great threat to rival the JL now.

I had no idea that high collars were back in fashion. Watch out ladies, I'm bringing back the high collar, 'cause if Jim Lee draws this super new villain with a high collar then it HAS to be back! Damn, I miss the 70's.

Beware of generic 90's bad guy number 72, DC go back 52 is a failure and get rid of those albatross crappy Image characters. I cancelled Justice League when Billy Batson was reimagined as a deliquant.
