Shazamcast!

It turns out that not even an unjust trademark lawsuit can keep Earth’s Mightiest Mortal down for long!  Despite Captain Marvel’s absence from the publishing world his mythos continues to show up repeatedly in new characters.  While these characters aren’t particularly memorable they demonstrate the enduring power of the Captain Marvel character.  When you’re done listening to this episode be sure to visit shazamcast.com and check out the As Mentioned post for this episode!

This interview with Jeff Farham of The World’s Mightiest Marvel blog amounts to a winding conversation which addresses Captain Marvel from multiple angles. We touch on the television series from the 70s, being too tight to buy important issues, and even the religious metaphors present within the Captain Marvel character. Hopefully the center will be found in the Golden Age Captain Marvel and serve to help people connect with the character more.

One note: the recording is really choppy early on. I think you’ll find it settles down an becomes an easier listen pretty quickly though.

This brief episode of the Shazamcast focuses on the recently released Justice League: Darkseid War Shazam #1 One-Shot.  Despite some weaknesses, this issue turns out to be one of the best of all the Darkseid War one-shots as well as a stand-out single-issue. Join us for the details!

This episode of the Shazamcast is a free flowing conversation with Carl Shinyama of @LetsTalkShazam (Twitter).
