Product Description:
Given powers by an ancient and mysterious wizard, boy reporter Billy Batson need only say the word "Shazam!" and he is transformed into the powerful adult hero Captain Marvel.
Magical turmoil in the aftermath of INFINITE CRISIS force Captain Marvel to give up his role as Earth's Mightiest Mortal to keep the supernatural under control. Freddie Freeman, also known as Captain Marvel Jr., has been left powerless by these events, but is given the opportunity to take over the mantle of his mentor if he can pass tests administered by the gods themselves. The only catch is that he has to earn each of his super-abilities from scratch.
Red-hot writer Judd Winick (OUTSIDERS) teams with fan-favorite artist Howard Porter (JLA) to redefine the iconic hero for a new generation of action and adventure.

I read this series in Comic book form rather than in Trade Paperback Collection form, but I can't say that it was all that great. I'm a huge Captain Marvel fan, and there's so little comic book material out there related to him that I just had to snatch this series up, but I have to say that it didn't really feel like it fit the "motif" and the "feel" of Captain Marvel and his particular brand of superheroism. It just felt like a genericially "edgy" story about a boy going through trials to get ... Read More

Shazam is not a title which I read very regularly but I've always liked him as a character.
The Trials of Shazam is a good introduction to those who are not familiar with the title, although previous knowledge of the character and his history, particularly his relationship with the wizard will give the story greater depth.
The storyline involves the death of the wizard and how this affects Shazam and his protege. Its a coming of age story.
All in all a great read. ... Read More

The twisted irony of this is D.C.(the company that constantly sued Fawcett in the Golden Age)still to this day can't figure out how to do Captain Marvel. Yet another poor retread to a character that they don't or won't understand. You can update the feature without raping it of it's orignal charm and class. But bringing Judd Winick is a bad move,and the art is just too unsteady,Howard Porter was never that good an artist.
The story's needlessly elongated,late and not worthy the wait.

I don't dislike what they are doing with Captain Marvel. The former Billy Batson/Captain Marvel is taking over after the original Wizard Shazam has died and Captain Marvel, Jr. is taking his place as the new Captain Marvel of the DC Universe. In order to get his new powers he has to earn them one at a time, fine.
The problem I have is DC rushed to get this out. It isn't even complete you only get half of the story. Instead of waiting and publishing the whole mini-series you get half ... Read More

A worthless comic, created by people who show a complete lack of understanding of what Captain Marvel was, and what made him special. If people really wanted to be true to the heritage, Captain Marvel would be similar to say Spongebob, and not Alan Moore's Swampthing, reworkings are fine, but sheesh, this was bad reading.
