My breakdown of issue 1
Issue 1 is a fast and really great read, just the type of first issue you’d expect from Geoff Johns. While page one is the generic recap back story of how Billy got his powers, the issue shows us that this is one year later from when Billy not only got his powers but also a year after his foster parents Mr. and Mrs. Vasquez brought him to live with them. It’s also important to note that this series story line basically takes place 1 year after the 2019 Shazam movie, so if you haven’t read this series yet please watch the movie first.
During the issue the group goes to the Rock of Eternity after dinner and finds a room that had once not existed is now available to them; The Station. Within The Station they also discover the Map of the Magiclands on the wall and get the power turned on to the area as well.
We find this issue ending with Mr. and Mrs. Vasquez answering the front door with a visitor stating that he is Billy’s father.
