![]() Mercado is at the top of his game when he’s writing everyday family comedy that balances with a pathos that understands each character’s backstory. ![]() ![]() He just doesn’t have that kind of trust in others, so when the chips are down for the team, why should Billy come through? Maybe because a rival school is using biotech experimentation that makes them very, very dangerous? Maybe because Billy’s foster dad drops some wisdom on Billy? Thundercrack is fun, easy reading that captures the light spirit of the 2019 movie ( and the upcoming movie, Fury of the Gods). The only thing is, Billy isn’t much of a team player. ![]() Beginning with Billy Batson’s arrival at his new foster family home and bonding with his new foster brother, Freddy, the main plot kicks in pretty quickly: as Billy and Freddy tests the limits of Billy’s power when he’s Shazam, they realize that even when he’s in Billy’s form, he’s got some power moves – and that leads him to join the school football team. ![]() Yehudi Mercado is the perfect author/illustrator to bring this fun Shazam tale to comic book life. ![]()
