Shazam! (2023)

The World's Finest creators present the World's Mightiest Mortal in a dazzling solo series! Dinosaurs from space! The Clubhouse of Eternity! Homicidal worms and talking tigers! Atomic robots, alien worlds, mad scientists, sinister curses, and villains from throughout the DC Universe—welcome to the wild adventures of Billy Batson, whose big red alter ego defends the Earth from its weirdest and wildest threats! Want to stop Lex Luthor and The Joker? Call Superman and Batman! International crises? Page Wonder Woman! But when Garguax, Emperor of the Moon, sets his sights on Gorilla City, that's when you shout Shazam! The fan-favorite team of Mark Waid and Dan Mora (Batman/Superman: World's Finest) brings the magic!

Shazam versus S-H-A-Z-A-M! Billy Batson was given the powers of the gods by the Wizard Shazam--but Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury never gave the Wizard their permission. Displeased with how Billy is representing them, the disgruntled gods engage in a six-way fight for sole control of the World's Mightiest Mortal...or, if they get their way, the World's Mightiest Puppet. May the craftiest god win!

TO AFRICA AND BEYOND! The gullible spirit of Atlas is guiding the Captain into a battle between Garguax, the emperor of the moon, and a band of superintelligent apes who have separated from Gorilla City in a mass Grexit! With the Earth at stake, will Billy Batson find some way to end a war that he himself started?

MARK WAID AND DAN MORA TURN EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT THE WORLD'S MIGHTIEST MORAL ON ITS HEAD! Shadiness. Hatefulness. Arrogance. Zeal. Anger. Malice. These are the new powers of Shazam--and if Billy doesn't find a way to get them under control, the lives of everyone around him will be forever destroyed!

The Captain's battle against the forces of the Moon Emperor may orbit the absurd...but it's full of action that will leave you...Apollo? (You can create your own moon pun for the end there, kids.) Mary Marvel joins the fray, the Shazam Family faces the Gods, and a devastating betrayal awaits you in this issue!

Meet the Captain! reaches its action-packed finale when Billy is forced to battle the very six gods who give him his magic abilities--a fight he can't possibly hope to win! Once the dust settles...who will possess the power of Shazam? PLUS: The interdimensional imp Bat-Mite has come to Fawcett City and he's brought his cousin with him: the Captain's biggest fan! Meet Shazamite! Then flee in terror before the entire city turns upside down!

The match you've been waiting for: the Captain versus Black Adam! Who will wield the thunder...and who will ultimately be crowned the Champion of Shazam?!

The Captain's side deal with Solomon is proving to be more curse than blessing! Will even his newfound levels of wisdom help him stop the alien dinosaur invaders called The Auditors from unleashing planetary chaos?

The Captain has thwarted a cadre of space dinosaurs, talked the gods into being reasonable for five little minutes, and managed to look A-OK doing it. So what’s left? WELL WE CREEP. YEEEAAAHHH, WE KEEP IT ON THE DOWN-LOW. It's the fight of the century: THE CAPTAIN VS. THE CREEPER!

MOVING DAY! After destroying the family home during an epic battle with Black Adam, Billy has hired the gods who grant him his powers to rebuild it. What surprises await the Shazam Family as they enter their new abode? Find out as a new run brought to you by fan-favorites Josie Campbell (The New Champion of Shazam!) and Emanuela Lupacchino (World's Finest: Teen Titans) begins!

The Vasquezes have made the extraordinary decision to adopt the kids! All they have to do is pass a home inspection by the adoption agency, but ever since the Gods rebuilt the family home, things have become a bit of a magical mess. Can they make it through the day without the inspector running into any interdimensional creatures?

Billy and the Captain have always made a great team...so why is the Captain keeping secrets from him? Darla discovers the Captain has the ability to transform without Billy knowing, but why now? What is it that the Captain doesn't want him to know? The answer will not only impact the adoption plans...but the future of Billy's existence!

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS BILLY BATSON?! Freddy and Mary hit the road to track down their teenage runaway brother, but little do they know he's hiding right under their noses...in the subway! Meanwhile strange new monsters are stalking the streets of Philly. Can Billy still prove he's hero enough to save the day without the Captain?

Mary and Freddy have tracked Billy down to the unused tunnels of SEPTA--but the monsters plaguing Philly have followed them, too. With Billy refusing to turn into the Captain, can Mary and Freddy turn the tide and figure out what's causing the monster onslaught? Can they convince Billy to come home? And what’s up with the weird kid in a toga that only Billy can see?

PHILADELPHIA IS SINKING! WILL BILLY FINALLY SAY THE MAGIC WORD? Things go from bad to worse as the evil society behind the latest monster attack is finally revealed. With Philly literally crumbling beneath their feet, it's up to Billy and Mary to stop the city from sinking, but is the danger great enough for Billy to utter those magic words? And without powers, how in the world can Freddy help? Well, he might get the chance to change that - and his choice will send shockwaves through the Shazam family!

SHAZAM FAMILY ROAD TRIP! Or at least an escape from Philly, as the kids hit the road to investigate some twisted monster attacks. Freddy's new powers should come in handy, except something's off with him. Will the cost for his new abilities be more than he can pay?

Christmas has come early for Freddy Freeman! But is all his success and notoriety as Philly's top superhero just ill-gotten gains? Mary and Billy can't help but link their brother's rise in popularity with the sudden emergence of Dr. Sivana. But as Billy continues to leak magic and monstrous societal issues begin to mount across the city, Sivana's arrival is only the tip of the iceberg!

UNDER MR. MIND'S CONTROL! The Society app isn't just infecting Philadelphians with brotherly hatred. The users are also hosts to the parasite, Mr. Mind! And Freddy Freeman, a.k.a. the Commander, is no exception. Will the combined efforts of the whole Shazamily be enough to free him? And with a second secret follower watching Billy Batson's family, how close is Mr. Mind to his true target, the Successor?

It's brother versus brother and Captain versus Commander, as Billy Batson is left with no choice but to confront Freddy in his new superhero persona head-on. If Mr. Mind was able to worm his way into the heart of the Shazam! Family, there's no knowing who else may have been infested with his influence. The gods are watching, and what they see could tip the balance of power in their family, city, and world!

THE SUPER SON AND THE POWER OF SHAZAM! A special guest writer stops in to tell a very special one-off story! Jonathan Kent, son of Superman, is in Philly when something funny happens in the Rock of Eternity. Jon is caught in the lightning and transforms...back into a little boy?! While Jon gets a second chance at childhood, Billy better figure out how to get the grown super son back before the world misses him!

THE WIZARD AND THE FAMILY SHAZAM! Mr. Mind has wormed his way across the entire world, and it will take way more than a single champion of Shazam to stop him! And finally, will the Shazamily become an official family?
