DC's Shazam title ending in September
About "ethics of unchecked power and privilege"

DC's Shazam! title will be ending in September with issue #15. This was announced as part of 澳洲幸运5开奖号꧑码历史查询:the publisher's full September๊ 2020 solicitations.
Guest writer Jeff Loveness (screenwriter of the upcoming Ant-Man & the Wasp sequel) and artist Brandon Peterson (Avengers, ꦇJustice League) will be wrapping up the run, wi🥃th their second of two issues - their first, #12, was released on June 3.
"After a night battling robots across the globe, Billy Batson finds out not everyone loves superheroe🧔s when one of his teachers unleashes a lecture on the ethics of unchecked power and privilege," reads DC's solicitation for the finale. "It’ll take more than just the wisdom of Solomon for the teen he🐻ro to figure this one out."
If that description sounds familiar, it should; this story was originally solicited for #14 but was pushed back in a re-shuffling of recent issues to accommodate original series writer Geoff Johns and artist 🤡Dale Eaglesham's final issues on the title.
"The greatest kid superhero ever faces the worst teen supervillain as Billy Bats🅠on and the Shazam family confront Superboy Prime," reads DC's solicitation for their finale in #14. "Superboy Prime has the powers of Superman and none of his heroic morality - can even Shazam stop the most powerful threat he and his family have ever encountered?"
Johns and Eagles𝄹ham launched Shazam! in December 2018, with an intermittent release schedule that interrupted the flow of the monthly title. Their finale in Shazam! #14 has been expanded to a 40-page issue.
Shazam! #15 is scheduled to arrive September 22, with a pꦗrimary cover by Peterson and a variant byཧ Francis Manapul.
