Exclusive DC preview: Captain Marvel takes on Victorian Batman in Convergence: Shazam #2
Dynamite Comics’ Flash Gordon miniseries by writer Jeff Parker, artist Evan “Doc” Shaner, and colorist Jordie Bellaire was one of The A.V. Club’s Best Comics of 2014, and the creative team has reunited to create the best miniseries of DC’s Convergence event. Their work on Convergence: Shazam is pure retro fun featuring the Marvel Family, capturing all the heart and optimism that made Captain Marvel and friends some of the most popular superheroes of the Golden Age. The first issue of the miniseries was all about bringing hope to the people of Fawcett City, but next week’s Convergence: Shazam ramps up the superhero action as the Marvel Family encounters the Victorian-era Batman of DC’s Gotham By Gaslight, giving the art team the opportunity to show what they can do with a darker character and environment.
