Shazam 2021 3

Neron returns to test Billy Batson’s resolve! Now confronted with the truth about fellow Titans Academy student Dane’s lineage, Billy Batson must decide whether he can trust the person who brought him to hell as they searched for the missing Rock of Eternity. But as the duo grows closer to the Rock and the power of Shazam, a new threat that Billy knows all too well emerges-Neron, the demonic lord of the underworld.

Billy Batson came to Titans Academy looking for answers. Why was the rest of his adopted family cut off from the power of Shazam? Why are his own powers becoming increasingly unreliable? The answers send Billy on an outrageous adventure that’ll not only change him but have an immense impact on the school and other students on Titans Island.

Chosen to receive the power of six mighty elders, young newscaster Billy Batson has only to speak the name of the ancient wizard...SHAZAM! In 1973, DC brought back one of the most beloved superheroes of all time: Shazam! Fans rejoiced at the return of Billy Batson; his sister, Mary; and their friend Freddy Freeman as they embarked on new adventures that evoked their original fun-filled comic book escapades. Together, the Shazam family took on a variety of vexing villains such as the contemptible Captain Nazi, the dastardly Dr. Sivana, and the maniacal Mr. Mind—and often learned a lesson or two in the process! Join the Big Red Cheese and company for more nonstop family fun in this continuation of tales spanning the late ’70s to the early ’80s from legendary comics writer E. NELSON BRIDWELL, featuring art by DON NEWTON, KURT SCHAFFENBERGER, and more! This third volume collects stories from World’s Finest Comics #253-270 and 272-282, and Adventure Comics #491-492.

Hell is full of temptations and distractions as Billy Batson searches for the missing Rock of Eternity, alongside his guide from Teen Titans Academy, the mystical and mysterious Dane. Earth’s Mightiest Mortal must face demons and would-be kings of the underworld. But even with the power of Shazam, Billy finds himself outwitted and outmatched, until Dane reveals a secret that will change his relationship with Billy and the new Teen Titans Academy forever.

Once inside the Rock of Eternity, Shazam comes face to face with an old acquaintance…who is also a complete stranger. Confused? So is Billy! The questions keep piling up as the stakes mount, leaving him with an impossible life-and-death decision on which the futures of his best friend, the Teen Titans Academy, and the entirety of existence now hinges!

No one’s seen Billy Batson in years-not since the incident known as the Final Battle of Titans Island. Now leading a small band of heroes, even his allies have begun to ask who’s controlling Earth’s Mightiest Mortal. In a story set years after the events of Future State: Teen Titans, learn the truth behind the sacrifice Billy made to imprison an ultimate evil even he couldn’t destroy.

The 1970s adventures of ShazamÑnow the star of his very own movieÑare collected in color for the first time! These new adventures combined the cartoony art of C.C. Beck, the original artist from the best-selling comics of the 1940s, with the modern, tongue-in-cheek sensibility of writers including Dennis OÕNeil as the entire Marvel family reunite for all-new adventures. Collects SHAZAM! #1-18.
