I'll try to keep on a regular schedule, but we both know how hard that can be. :)<br /><br />@Britt Reid, yeah, I'm betting Captain Marvel Jr. probably won't be appearing very soon.<br /><br />@Reno - DC is getting sort of in a rut in some ways. I really don't understand how they decide which ideas make the cut.<br /><br />@JP Cote - Ha! Hoodies are all the rage with the *kids*<br /><br />@Blitzdawg - Thank you! And I agree. I'm not sure why they didn't just make a new character if they weren't going to use CM in the manner readers were used to.Jim Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006833955333061262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-49869718156894827372012-03-12T12:50:05.979-04:002012-03-12T12:50:05.979-04:00Hey, Jim-

It's almost enough to secretly hope that DC will keep finessing their universe to keep the posts coming. :)<br /><br />I don't really have much history with Captain Marvel/Shazam but Jim's point about the secondary characters seems spot on.<br /><br />I've stated this elsewhere on the web and I feel as if the relaunch is a last ditch (phase three) effort ordered by the new Warner Bros President of her new head honcho's over there (Jim and Geoff).<br /><br />Nothing would surprise me at this point.Cainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12654286795401273101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-23900388958640420952012-03-11T18:55:22.327-04:002012-03-11T18:55:22.327-04:00Yeah, I understand the thought process behind it. ...Yeah, I understand the thought process behind it. "We can't put out a comic call Captain Marvel, because Marvel has trademarked Captain Marvel during the downtime..." so I'm down with calling the comic Shazam (as they did in the 70's) but to change the name of the character seems a bit unnecessary...unless there are other plans for the franchise.<br /><br />But here's a question for you. What do they call the REST of the characters? Mary SHAZAM? SHAZAM JR? <br /><br />Also, how does he introduce himself to other heroes? <br /><br />"I'm SHAZAM."<br />Lighting Bolt...Jim Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006833955333061262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778276361957351199.post-61892807207862525302012-03-11T17:22:00.344-04:002012-03-11T17:22:00.344-04:00Yeah, I'm not too found of the look of the rev...Yeah, I'm not too found of the look of the revamp either. The name change I don't particularly care for, but I think it makes sense as that's what they've been calling the comic, anyway.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.com
