Has anyone been reading Geoff Johns' Shazam book?

I was gonna trade wait it, but it seems like nobody is talking about this book, which is crazy because anything with Geoff Johns name on it is usually guaranteed to be a top seller.

Nothing much has happened.

Liked his first run with Shazam better.

But this current run has only been 2 issues though.

Anyone read the Dark Tower? That’s the next omni I’m reading.

It's just funny seeing two white guys have this exchange

That was the best Daredevil #1 issue I have read in a long time.

I wanted to like it but this is the 9 millionth version of Murdock rising from the ashes to try to put his life back together and I honestly just don't give a damn about seeing that anymore.

 

[Jello Biafra]

Is anyone still reading JL? I haven’t seen it mentioned since the first few issues. I’m reading Odyssey, and I read spoilers for the recent JL annual, and it seems another Crisis is gonna happen in the future.

Or Metal 2.

I am. The last issue focusing on J'onn and Luthor was good. Still have no clue where the overarching story is heading though.

No different from Spider-man this is how they live.

Aaron's Avengers

It was a good issue except for one thing that bugged me: how do The Avengers misplace the demon dog of a vampire Darth Vader?

No different from Spider-man this is how they live.

And the Spidey retreads suck too. Same as when Iron Man writers fall back on Stark's drinking.
Those stories have been done try a new angle.

So this War of the Realms event...

Basically Aaron's version of Hickman's "Infinity"?

Clearly he's got another year or two of writing Avengers, and i'm sure he'll have his own "Secret Wars" type extinction level event to cap things off when that time comes lol (will remix some other classic Avengers storyline). So this a sorta inbetween/intermission before we start getting into what the fukk is going on with the namor team, russian team, coulson's team, billion b.c. team, etc?

Its on my pull list and the 2 issues that came out have been fine but nothing really major has happened yet to make me decide if it is gonna stay on the list or not.

Not sure if anyone cares and collects action figures, but McFarlane Toys is getting the license to produce DC action figures in 2020. That's where the Multiverse line will continue.

Spinmaster will get the license for younger-aimed stuff. Mattel is completely out.

Definitely interested in seeing what McFarlane does. Mattel figures have been trash for years, doesn't help that they focused so much on the DCEU.

Savage Avengers eh?
