I'm pretty excited to see this book coming out this week. I like Mike Kunkel's work from "hero bear and kid", and to see a 2.25 price tag on makes it an even better buy. That being said I know it's part of the "Johnny DC" line so it's being marketed towards kids, so what? I think i'll enjoy the lighthearted read, maybe to offset Final Crisis. Anybody else on board with me and think this will be a comic they won't miss?

I ordered it

I know exactly what you mean offsetting all the secret crisis

I'm beginning to enjoy more and more a simple story well told with a few little in jokes and nods to past continuity

I read the recent preview/review on Newsarama and immediately pre-ordered the first three issues. While I like the idea of Captain Marvel and the Marvel Family in the DC Universe, a lot of injustices have been done to the characters (with the exception of Black Adam) lately, and I think Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam! may be just what the character needs.

This is the best comic of the year. No doubt about it, next year, this title will be up for all kinds of awards.

Great art, a super story and a way to make the Marvel Family workable in the DCU (Johnny DCU, I should say).

This may be a better take on the character than Jeff Smith's brilliant Monster Society of Evil.

I bought two copies so that someone else could read this one.
