DC Comics just hit the reset button on Shazam, courtesy of Wonder Woman’s mom

I love the DC Comics superhero who is a little boy who shouts “Shazam!” and turns into an adult-size superhero in a red suit. Genuinely, he’s a great classic character who’s had some really sensible tweaks to transform him into a really smart modern found family superhero story for all ages.

I hate that he doesn’t have a name.

We used to call him Captain Marvel, and I accept that this is no longer an option (even though he had it first). But it’s simply not feasible that we call him Shazam. For one, he can’t have a name that forces him to transform every time he says it out loud. For another, Shazam is already the name of the wizard who gave him his powers. But most frustratingly for me, a person who writes about comics — if his name is Shazam, what do I call his sister?

She used to be Mary Marvel, but it isn’t any more, for obvious reasons. If I call her Mary Bromfield nobody knows who I’m talking about. Am I supposed to call her Billy Batson’s sister Mary? Gross!

And so, every time DC Comics writers prep for a new take on Billy Batson, his family, and Shazam — as they did in this week’s Lazarus Planet #4 — I wait with bated breath. Will they end my torment? Will they finally rename Billy Batson’s superhero identity? Only time, and DC’s new Shazam! series will tell.

But in the meantime I really like the way they redid Billy and Mary’s powers in Lazarus Planet.

What else is happening in the pages of our favorite comics? We’ll tell you. Welcome to Monday Funnies, Polygon’s weekly list of the books that our comics editor enjoyed this past week. It’s part society pages of superhero lives, part reading recommendations, part “look at this cool art.” There may be some spoilers. There may not be enough context. But there
