Pro Teaches n00bs: Lesson 29: The Trials of Shazam!

On the newest lesson of Pro Teaches n00bs, Bianca and I go over DC's attempt to overhaul the Shazam Mythos after Infinite Crisis...the one that got ignored almost as soon as it finished.

Billy Batson is Shazam no more! Enter Freddy Freeman who seeks to prove to the gods that he is worthy to be their champion and wield the power of Shazam!

The powerful wizard Shazam has been destroyed, and his vast responsibility for presiding over the realm of all magic has been shifted to his mightiest champion, Billy Batson. Such a job can only be performed from the Rock of Eternity--thus, Earth is without a defender to balance the worlds of magic and humanity for the first time in centuries.

Freddy Freeman, Billy's best friend and former sidekick, wants to be that protector, but such an honor must be earned. Powerless, Freddy must embark on a quest to prove to the gods that he is worthy to wield...THE POWER OF SHAZAM!

This book felt like an epic, and the artwork was beautiful. It's so unfortunate that nothing was continued with after this was all done and things just went worse for the Shazam Family until the nu52 restarted things. This was NOT a bad idea, far from it. But the fact it was dropped so fast when it had so much potential is what makes it really painful
