Shazam Family To Headline New Ongoing Series For A Captain Marvel Rebirth By JSA / Justice Society Of America Collaborators Geoff Johns and Dale Eaglesham.

CBR reports:

      At the Geoff Johns Spotlight panel at Comic-Con International at San Diego, the writer revealed that he will be writing a long awaited Shazam monthly ongoing series for DC Comics with his former Justice Society of America collaborator, Dale Eaglesham.

      The new series, which will debut this November, will finally pay off the introduction of the new Shazam and his “Shazam family” that Johns set up early in his Justice League run back in the New 52 in 2012.

      Johns described the new series as “It’ll continue the story we started in the New 52.” Johns explained that The Shazam family will try to unlock the secrets of the Rock of Eternity and take its cues from classics like The Phantom Tollbooth. “It’s kids with superpowers but no manuals. They have the powers but they don’t really know how to use them,” Johns said. The book will feature classic villains like Mister Mind and will feature an appearance by the classic Shazam supporting character, the anthropomorphic tiger Tawky Tawny…

      …We will see the group in action in the ongoing Shazam series, which will drop on November 21st.

Prior to being EIC he has produced several column series including DEMYTHIFY, NEAR MINT MEMORIES and the ONE FAN'S TRIALS at the Nexus plus a stint at Bleeding Cool producing the COMICS REALISM column.
