Fascinating!
I have no idea where you're going with this....is Bruce the next Captain Marvel? What would Black Adam make of such a rival, I wonder?

Without giving too much away.... Yes the gist of this "Elseworlds" tale is about Bruce gaining the powers of Shazam.... and how such a person...psyche would handle the powers.... I've often believed that while critics of CM and Supes are technically correct... "they are indeed big boyscouts".... with the level of power they possess.... anything short of innocent virtues and nobility of character.... is a recipe for disaster. Subtract Billy Batson's innocent virtues.... you get Black Adam. Subtract Superman's noble character.... you get Zod! Giving these "god-level" powers to a dark hero... or an anti-hero {if you will}... what will the results be? These are the questions and themes I will explore in this mini-series. I hope you enjoy the ride... |

This could end up being right up there with Titans Resistance and Lost to the Night. Very fascinating start. You've got me wanting more.

An interesting premise, though I felt the issue was a bit heavy on the one-liners, all around. Still, I'll be back for #2, because I know that "you know what" has got to be next!

Yea! All the pics are back up!! Must have been a photobucket problem or something... but the pics are visible again.. mouseman... I too am enjoying Titans Resistance... I consider a compliment that you would compare this mini-series with that work... this will only be three issues... BUT I hope that my approach to pacing, brings a {hopefully} more intimate look at the characters and scenes frome Bruce's childhood, that as fans of the DCU we are quite familiar with. I hope I haven't peppered the writing with too many one-liners.... although when writing Sivana... how do yo not let him spout off about "the Big Red Cheese"?? Half the fun of a comic character like Sivana is that he is a caricature and any attempt to make him more realistic or grim and gritty... well it just doesn't ring true to the character's well known mystique.. I do hope that you enjoy Thomas and Martha getting more scene time than they usually do in such stories... in fact as I was writing this series it surprised me at how much it was taken up with Bruce's parents... they seemed to force themselves into the story for longer than I thought they would... hmm... maybe something to explore later on.... |

Pretty powerful Stuff Randy. This is a great example of an Elseworlds... the familar feel of certain characters thrust into a totally different set of situations and lives.
Wow.
Great beginning. I'm only sorry it took me so long to get over here and read this.
