Review: Shazam #6

This issue picks up with Freddy seemingly ready to betray Billy to get the powers for himself.  Only it turns out to be a scam until the Flashpoint kids arrive to save the day.  Yeach.  Just what I predicted, and just what the Captain Marvel character does not need.

Then Billy notices Solomon has stepped away from all this, and he confronts him.  He asks Solomon to make the Captain wiser to be able to resist the other Elders' influences.  Solomon agrees but warns Billy it will make The Captain more separate from Billy.

Meanwhile the alien dinosaurs land in Kahndaq, and face Black Adam.  This issue at least shows that by getting more wisdom of Solomon, the Captain may not act like a goofy kid anymore.  That shows promise, but so did issue #1, and look where we are at now.  This issue earns a C.
