Colored by Steve Hamaker. The creator of Bone tries his hand at superheroes in this revival of a DC classic. Life gets interesting for orphan Billy Batson after he starts timesharing his body with Captain Marvel. He faces giant robots, angry monsters, and a fiendish U.S. attorney general, and he discovers he has a sister. Politics are clumsily incorporated, but Billy and friends are smart, fearless, and likable.
