Beyond that - and a few side character appearances in the early Thor films - I would struggle to name a single movie with him in it.
Except for 2019s Shazam!, where he took the leading role of the grown-up alter-ego of a teenager who is granted magic (superheroic) powers when he shouts the word Shazam!
That movie, itself, was enjoyable and a breath of fresh air from the grimdark of the DC brand (in the movies) at the time.
This follows on from the events of the first movie, with a certain select group of people now aware of who Shazam *is*, and with the same sprinkling of the horror genre throughout; albeit not quite so much 'on the nose' as the Seven Deadly Sins were. Instead, we have the mythical Daughters of Atlas out for revenge, viewing their powers as having been stolen and gifted to the mortals by the (still nameless) Wizard (who makes a return, despite having turned to dust previously - don't ask).
Whilst the future structure of the whole DC universe is currently 'under review', it may be interesting to see where this lesser-known (at least, to me) brand goes!

I thoroughly enjoyed this story although there were parts that I'm not sure of the relevance. I'm hoping it will become clear as the story progresses in future books.
Brynn was a brilliant character who feels stifled by the conditions placed upon young women by Queen Victoria. I have no idea if these were real but there was still an enormous amount of detail given. Zadicayn, although billed as the main male, is still something of an enigma. We didn't actually meet him until about half to two-thirds through the book. This means I don't know him as much as I would like to.
This was a great story that kept my attention from start to finish. It has left me with questions I can't wait to see answered. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more in this series.

I love stories that take me away to another place - get me out of reality and imagine what life would be like if things were "different". And this book does just that. It's very clever how it's pretty historically accurate, just with this twist of Sigilry, these signs and symbols drawn to move energy and ultimately produce some sort of effect (hovering/flying, restoring health, moving an object, sending messages). There are great stories of friendship, interesting characters, and stories of love as well. All wrapped up in a creative story of action, adventure and social-awareness.
There are a few "racy" scenes...so I'd recommend a more mature audience, but its fantastic all-around in general. I'm excited to see if the Philosopher Flies Again! Thanks NetGalley!
