Despite the crackling of thunder that usually accompanies the arrival of Shazam, DC has apparently slipped a brand new title or at least a new story featuring the World's Mightiest Mortal into its daily 'Digital First' offerings without much💛 fanfare.
Shazam!: Lightning Strikes will debut Friday, Jꦉuly 17 with 'Home Quest,' a story from writer Dan Jurgens and artis𒈔ts Travis Moore and Nick Filardi, with letters from Marshall Dillon and a cover from Evan 'Doc' Shaner. 'Home Quest' centers on Billy Batson and one of his classmates encountering a spirit from ancient Egypt, home of Shazam's rival Black Adam.
It's unclear if this is a on✃e-time release or if Shazam!: Lightning Strikes will continue as a regular 'Digital First' series.
"A class trip to an exhibit on Ancient Egypt goes all wrong when Billy tries to set a bragging classmate 🍨straight," reads DC's official description o🤪f the story. "Now they'll have to work together to help a lost spirit find its way home!"
Unlike mos🤡t of DC's previous daily 'Digital First' stories, Shazam!: Lightning Strikes does not appear to reprint material from their previously-published 100-Page G🍃iant anthologies. Though DC has not confirmed the story is new, writer Jurgens , suggesting it is new, previously unpublished content.
DC has apparently been publishing other brand▨ new stories in recent weeks, quietly adding new, non-reprint content to some of its 'Digital First' series that previously published reprinted material digital🎶ly for the first time, including Superman: Man of Tom📖orrow #11.
