As Shazam Film Set To Drop on April 5, 2019 in North America…

In The Comics, A Classic Character Makes DC Rebirth Era Debut…

…Plus Another HUGE Return As A Cliffhanger!

In the new status quo and expanded Shazam universe…

…at the Wildlands, readers meet Tawky Tawny…

…who lives in a world of talking animals…

…where this carnivore is the prey?

Here’s his classic Who’s Who in the DC Universe bio.

Then, in the Earthlands (so, um, on Earth), the police are called because Billy Batson and his foster kid brothers and sisters are gone. Their foster parents, and Billy’s biological dad, don’t know they are the Shazam heroes and spread across the various new lands, so they call in the police.

Remember, these are the kids and how they look as the Shazam heroes…

…along with Billy Batson as Shazam.

The modern take is very different from their classic Golden Age portrayal and…

…an extension on steroids of their popular 1990s portrayal.

Anyhow, Shazam #4 ends with…

…the return of…

…Black Adam!

Here’s one of his classic Who’s Who bios.

So, is he friend of foe in Shazam #5 next month?
