DC Revises Schedule for MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL and TRIALS OF SHAZAM

DC has updated its web site with some adjusted release dates for SHAZAM: THE MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL and TRIALS OF SHAZAM. As it stands now TRIALS OF SHAZAM is roughly a month and a half behind its publishing schedule. Issue #5 should have been out originally at the end of December had a monthly schedule been adhered to. Howard Porter's new art style seems to be what's causing the late arrival as he is pencilling, inking, and coloring each issue using computer-based graphics programs. So it's certainly understandable that some issues will be late.

DC also announced today that the first TRIALS OF SHAZAM trade paperback collecting the first 6 issues of the series as well as the BRAVE NEW WORLD lead-in story will be released in June. So according to DC's web site, here's the expected release dates for SHAZAM: THE MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL and TRIALS OF SHAZAM:

• February 7:
  SHAZAM: THE MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL #1


• February 14:
  TRIALS OF SHAZAM #5


• February 28:
  SHAZAM: THE MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL #2


• April 4:
  TRIALS OF SHAZAM #6 (formerly March 28)


• April 4:
  SHAZAM: THE MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL #3
