![More SHAZAM! at DC?](http://www.marvelfamily.com/images/newsblurbs/moreshazam.jpg)
Could more classic
SHAZAM be coming from DC? The MFW hasn't seen the preorder numbers yet from Diamond on the first issue of
SHAZAM!: THE MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL but the online reviews of Jeff Smith's first issue have been near-universally positive.
The second issue of
SHAZAM!: THE MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL hit stores today and if you liked the first issue, the second issue didn't disappoint. So could the reports of the death of the BIG RED CHEESE be greatly exaggerated? A couple of retailers just might think so.
Over the course of the last week, the MFW has heard from two retailers, both directly and indirectly, that DC is gearing up for more classic Cap. What this means is anyone's guess but it would be hard to believe that DC would scrap their current DCU plans for the
TRIALS OF SHAZAM's ghostly white and "Captain"-less Marvel and upcoming Shazam II — especially with Marvel making a big splash on the cover of
COUNTDOWN. So could the retailers I heard from be wrong? Only time will tell.
In the meantime, enjoy this wallpaper combination of the backcovers of
SHAZAM!: THE MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL #1 and 2.
