REVIEW: Billy Batson & The Magic of Shazam - 1





You know what? Before you say it - yes, this is a kid's book. But you know what else? I really don't care! When you have artwork as good as Mike Kunkel's - you're on to a winner from the start...!

I'm not going to spoil this book too much, as I'm going to make this a mini review, but before giving you my verdict - you should know three main things.

***MINOR SPOILER ALERT***

  1. Mary Marvel couldn't have turned evil if she'd been written and drawn by Mike Kunkel.

  2. Captain Marvel feels like a cross between Superman and the Blue Beetle (and it works brilliantly).

  3. Black Adam could (potentially) be more evil than ever before...

Pick it up - you'll end up enjoying it more than you think.

Pete's Score: 4 out of 5
(buy something for the kid in you, or for a kid around you)
