It really is good. Shazam the Wizard expresses so well that he knows Superman is right, he even started the comic bemoaning the inevitability of fate, and that he can't do anything to change Billy. Billy is the chosen champion, and there is nothing that the wizard can do to change that fact. But Superman can. Superman can be out there with Billy and help him.

In some interpretations of Captain Marvel (BECAUSE THAT IS HIS NAME) he trades places with Billy Batson so when he is the superhero he speaks of Billy in the third person. That was how Jeff Smith did it in Monster Society of Evil. Then in other interpretations it's just that Billy is imbued with power and his body grows and buffs up, 2000s He-Man style.

A story like this is probably why DC editorial has almost banned Shazam for all these years,even when creators do have stories for him(Geoff Johns no less),sweet,lighthearted stories making fun of the silliness of superheroes with just enough sharpness and pathos so it works as an homage to the genre while not taking Billy lightly,this spirit is almost antithetical to New52 ethos of "I'll show you how serious this is with more sex and violence than you can handle",really hope with the movie he's used more often and have new series,as a concept and part of DC he works perfectly as it is,he just needs chances. As an aside had to mention,the art is spectacular,as Sal remarked the wizard's face when he was talking about guidance to Supes said more than pages of dialogue would,really really great
