The New Champion of Shazam!

Mary Bromfield has always struggled to determine who she is outside her family kinda hard to do when you re all superheroes! Now, after Billy Batson s heroic sacrifice, the power of Shazam has vanished, and she s been left powerless. Most heroes would be distraught, but not Mary. It s finally time for a voyage of self-discovery as she prepares for her freshman year of college and a civilian life. But nothing is ever truly normal for this young hero, because she s just been chosen as the new champion of Shazam! (At least according to a talking rabbit sent by her estranged brother Billy.) Will she embrace the power? Or will it die along with this world s hope of survival against the mysterious magical forces waiting to take control? The New Champion of Shazam! collects the entire four issue series! Lantern, Iron Man, the Punisher, the Simpsons, Spongebob Squarepants, GI Joe and many others. He is (along with artist Graham Nolan) the creator of the Batman villain Bane, the first permanent addition to the Dark Knight's rogues gallery in 40 years and for which he won 1993's Wizard Fan Award for best new character. His graphic novel adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit is a perennial bestseller worldwide. His unprecedented 100-issue run on DC Comics', Robin is considered to be a classic in the comics medium. Chuck's contributions to Marvel Comics' The Punisher are widely acknowledged as integral to that character's development.
