    Jeff Smith's SHAZAM....

    is going to sooOOOOOoooo fucking rock!!!! It looks gorgeous.

    Just saw the preview over at Comicbookresources and, well, wow. I cannot believe how many gallons of pee I just wet on myself over this.

    I cannot wait for this book to come out. I have a boxload of Depends ready when it does.

    I saw this in the previews and thought about picking it up. I have never bee a big Shazam fan however and I am hesitant. The fact that its only 4 part mini works in its favor though, and there seems to be alot of excitement by most of you who have commented on it here on the boards.

    I am just not sure how good of a 'jumping on' point this mini would be.

    Did you see this, Tom? Jeff's homages to the Golden Age Shazam. It's pretty cool.

    I hope this sells rings around Winick's Shazam! project.

    Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!

    I don't think it's related to current continuity at all, so I think you can read it as a self-contained story.

    I can't wait for this. I talked to him about it... maybe 3 years ago at MOCCA. It sounds so good. I think it's going to be exactly what I like about these characters.

    There's a sense of innocence about this work that has been missing in comics in general for decades. I think I'll read it on a Saturday morning, like 7a.m., while eating a huge bowl of Cocoa Puffs.

    I've been looking forward to this since I bought the BONE One Volume last year. I love Shazam. I love Jeff Smith's work.

    How can I not be excited?!

    Agreed.

    It's going to be the highlight of the month.

    It looks amazing, and I really cannot wait.

    More comic books should inspire a sense of awe, a sense of childlike wonder at how cool they can be. That doesn't happen nearly enough these days, but the preview of this book posted on Newsarama absolutely inspired awe. It looks wonderful.
