Shazam Tp Vol 01 (N52)

(W) Geoff Johns (A/CA) Gary Frank. Young orphan Billy Batson has bounced from foster home to foster home* but he's far from the ideal child. Brash and rude* Billy is a troubled teen that just can't seem to find a calling. But after a fateful night on a subway car* that all will change. Brought to the feet of the magical wizard Shazam at the Rock of Eternity* Billy is imbued with powers beyond any mortal man. By shouting the wizard's name--Shazam!--the young teen is mystically transformed into the powerhouse known as Shazam! Now given abilities that make him Earth's Mightiest Mortal at the utterance of a simple phrase* will Billy make the right choices and do what it takes to become a hero? Or will he succumb to the poor choices of youth--and the villainous Black Adam! Geoff Johns and Gary Frank* the team behind the New York Times #1 best-selling graphic novel BATMAN: EARTH ONE* unite to re-invent Captain Marvel as a part of DC Comics--The New 52. Collected here for the first time ever is the series of back-ups that ran in the pages of Johns' critically acclaimed JUSTICE LEAGUE. Collects JUSTICE LEAGUE #0* 21 and stories from JUSTICE LEAGUE #7-11* 14-16* 18-20.
