New 52 Marvel/Shazam Family

[lordultimus]

In the New 52, Billy Batson can share his power with the people he considers to be his family for a limited time.

During the origin story, he shares it with his foster siblings.





And Tawny Tawny.

Love Mary Marvel's look in this comic. I want to see more of her!

I believe Johns hinted on Twitter we would see more of Mary in Justice League (would she still get to be called Mary MARVEL?) but I don't think there's any follow-up. As there been any follow-up on the Shazam kids?

As much as I dislike the new Billy Bratson origin (which is partly more Ron Marz's Kyle Rayner than CC Beck's Captain Marvel), I know Johns is a Shazam fanboy from way back and given Mary is the only one with a red costume (on purpose) I was thinking we would see a new story that would make her Billy's twin/bio-sister again, but so far....nothing. What is up with that?

And I will never get used to blonde Freddy Freeman. I understand the reasons behind it (so he doesn't look so much like Billy) but I will never get used to it.

Umm, I really don't like the look on the guy to the left's face.

Has anything really been done with this Marvel family since their debut? I think I remember them cropping up during that whole Trinity War nonsense, but beyond that?

[cygnia]

Is it wrong I now want to see Billy & Talky Tawny drawn in the style of Calvin & Hobbes?

Well, there's this

The idea of being able to share with *anyone* he considers family is interesting. People can move in and out of the family.

[baihu]

But was he particularly close to the...tiger? As in, enough to treat it wholeheartedly as part of the family?

[lordultimus]

Yeah. He used to visit it, talk to it about his problems, and give the malnourished thing meat.

Wasn't this sort of introduced in Flashpoint? I do like it as an idea, but since I don't think we've seen any of these people since that introductory story, not sure when we might see them again.

[lordultimus]

Yeah, except that they exchanged with him Captain Planet style.

Its even the same kids.
