C'mon OP, you already have a thread for that fetish.
Nolan Wood
I like him and his mythos, I just wish he and his old continuity was treated better today. His best stories were mostly from the Golden Age, along with the Mary Marvel, Captain Marvel Jr. and the Marvel Family were pretty good stories along with the Monster Society of Evil arc. Those Golden Age stories are basically essential when trying to get in to Captain Marvel.

Ignore him, it’s what shitposters do.
Nathaniel Hernandez
The last true Golden Age comic we got was Supreme.
David Martinez
Christian Carter
Definitely the embodiment of Golden age capeshit. He isn't always treated the best by editorial, but I love it him and his kin show up.
Jacob Torres
Alan Moore’s Supreme was the greatest Golden Age Superman comic that isn’t even from the Golden age nor has Superman in the lead.
Jayden Kelly
He's a likable character with interesting mythology. But has constant changes and long periods of inconsistent use which damages his overall reception.
Also if they aren't going to call him Captain Marvel, call him Captain Thunder.

Thanks for the info user.
James Nelson
And that leads us to the current SHAZAM! run, with super boy prime.
Xavier Barnes
I can’t wait for that showdown, it’s going to be Prime Time
Zachary Brooks
Easton Davis
Thanks, I wanted to read something of him but didn't know where to start
Gabriel Ortiz
Wait, what? The mad lads are actually going to put Superboy PRIME in a Shazam comic?
Cameron Moore
He's a cool guy.
Juan Nelson
Is any of the Golden Age stuff collected?
Cooper Ward
Nope, dc attempted to collect The Monster Society of Evil last year but there was some racial caricatures in it that would’ve been problematic
Alexander King
Praise be to Cereal Lord for that
Jordan Murphy
Amen
I remember that. Such crap
Cameron Allen
I always liked his interactions with Superman like in pic-related.

That’s the greatest fucking shame, they could’ve easily included a disclaimer that states the racist caricatures and how it’s wrong. But of course, DC are an bunch of pansies.

he's gonna have to mow through the monster society first, i guess.
Brayden Bailey
Honestly if Looney Tunes could do that it should be a no brainer for DC, but I do get their hesitation as at the time the movie was just coming out and they didn’t want to risk hurting the brand
Robert Peterson
Ayden Anderson
i see mister mind shazam in the corner, so i assume the mopped the floor with the monster society.
Ethan Barnes
You say that like it'd be a problem for him.
Jace Jackson

In retrospect it really doesn't make much sense for Superman to be pissed at Shazam for putting Billy in danger yet be totally okay with Batman and all his Robins.
