Billy Batson was a teenager when he was granted immense power and responsibility thanks to the wizard Shazam – and while having amazing superpowers might sound great, as Billy grows into his new alter-ego, he quickly learns that sometimes it’s a whole lot harder than it looks!
Billy Batson’s life was turned upside down the day he was empowered with the magic of Shazam! Saying the magic word allowed him to gain the wisdom of Soloman, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, and the speed of Mercury, despite being an otherwise average teenage boy. Now, Billy and his friends fight against any number of miraculous foes, including super smart dinosaur-aliens planning to invade the planet, and Billy’s archrival, Black Adam, a man empowered by his very own set of gods! He may be as powerful as someone like Superman, but Clark Kent doesn’t have to worry about passing his exams in between fighting off planetary threats!
On the verge of getting the things they want most, Billy's found family discovers that their fabulous new home has monstrous new dangers hidden inside! Plus, the return of Billy's birth mother threatens not just the family's future, but the survival of the universe itself! Featuring appearances by Black Adam, the Creeper, and more, this gorgeous collection includes issues #7-12 of the fan-favorite new Shazam! series.

His award-winning graphic novel with artist Alex Ross, Kingdom Come, is one of the best-selling comics collections of all time.
