6. SHAZAM!
Writer: Jeff Parker
Artist: Evan “Doc” Shaner
Is it cheating to reunite two creators with a character they’ve already collaborated on? Well, I don’t care whatsoever.
A couple years back, DC had an instantly forgotten event called Convergence that resulted in a bunch of weird little two-issue mini-series that served as time capsules to various points in DC history.
Parker and Shaner’s SHAZAM! issues were far and away the best things to come out of that whole deal. Captain Marvel is a wonderful character, and we need him back now more than ever. And maybe they can stop calling him Shazam now. It sounds dumb. But, yeah, I need to do less convincing about why this comic would be great.
Just go read those two issues. They fight Gotham by Gaslight Batman in that. And his Bat-Zeppelin. Comic books are pretty great, you guys. Anyway, next entry!
