A bunch of old shit before DC sabotaged him, Alex Ross' nob-gobbling him in Justice, Jeff Smith's Monster Society of Evil (non-canon).
>Movies
lel
>Shows
A couple of JL animated episodes, and a direct to video cartoon. The daytime show was awful.

Gotchu right here, senpai.

>>90228252
Thanks my friend!

How is Shazam: A Celebration of 75 years?

>>90228252
Multiversity: Thunderworld should be added to this. It's a great issue.

Along with the Convergence issues.

He's just a kid!

>>90228453
Pretty much as good as all the other ones except the JSA one which is shit.

>>90228036
Did they ever release the new 52 Shazam origin storyarc into one book? Id rather not get the Justice League titles just so I can read that, fuck New 52 JL

>>90229224
Yes, it's collected into one trade.

The actual Justice League trades don't collect the backups at all AFAIK.

Curse of Shazam if you want more recent stories, also has one of my favorite costume redesigns in New 52.

>>90228868
Not in that story.

Will there ever be a superhero as cool as Captain Marvel?

>>90230799
It looks a lot more wizardly which falls in line with the emphasis they put on his magical powers over being a different Supes, but I'll always miss the half cape

Oh child, you are in for a treat. It's hard to go wrong with Billy and friends.

When is he getting his own book again DC you fucking fucks

>>90229727
At least Billy doesn't have cancer.

>>90233707
Shush, anon. Billy doesn't need to have a book forced all the time. Best to let them use him when they need him or have a good story in mind. Books just for the sake of having a book rarely go well- just look at Finch's Wonder Woman.

>>90233794
Quiet you. It's been too long and he was poorly handled in JL. He could at least get a mini

>>90229185
Flash was Worse.

I liked New 52 Billy. I'm a bit sad he never got the series Johns talked about, Johns seemed like he had an idea but I guess it never materialized.

Captain Marvel is one of the few heroes whose Golden Age material still holds up. Even the old movie serial is pretty fun, he tosses people left and right.

OP here. So if I were looking to readup on Captain Marvel via buying graphic novels, which should I buy?

I'm looking at >>90228252 and it seems like maybe I should pick up the Shazam The Archives series of collections?

>>90234934
Keep in mind his golden age appearances are public domain and can be found just about anywhere on the internet including the digital comics museum.

>>90233836
>>90233707
He's public domain along with the entire Marvel Family. You could write your own book.

>>90236192
He's only partially public domain, and both Captain Marvel and Shazam are trademarked.

The rec image plus the Multiversity issue and the two-part Convergence mini. Those are all that you need.
