Before Ms Marvel There was --- A Boy Called Captain Marvel

Shazam!

David F. Sandberg (“Annabelle: Creation”) directs New Line Cinema’s “Shazam!,” the origin story that stars Zachary Levi (TV’s “Chuck”) as the titular DC Super Hero, along with Mark Strong (the “Kingsman” movies) in the role of Super-Villain Dr. Thaddeus Sivana, and Asher Angel (TV’s “Andi Mack”) as Billy Batson. Peter Safran (“Aquaman,” “The Conjuring” and “Annabelle” films) serves as the film’s producer.


We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s (Angel) case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart—inside a ripped, godlike body—Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Strong).

 

“Shazam!” also stars Jack Dylan Grazer (“IT”) as Billy’s best friend and ultimate superhero enthusiast, Freddy, and Oscar nominee Djimon Hounsou (“Blood Diamond”) as the Wizard. The cast also includes Faithe Herman (TV’s “This is Us”), Grace Fulton (“Annabelle: Creation”), Ian Chen (TV’s “Fresh Off the Boat”), Jovan Armand (TV’s “Hawaii Five-0”), Marta Milans (TV’s “Killer Women”) and Cooper Andrews (TV’s “The Walking Dead”).

Firmly set in the DC universe but with his own distinctly fun, family-centric tone, the screenplay is by Henry Gayden, story by Gayden and Darren Lemke, based on characters from DC. Shazam was created by Bill Parker and C.C. Beck. Jeffrey Chernov, Christopher Godsick, Geoff Johns, Walter Hamada, Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia, Hiram Garcia, Richard Brener and Dave Neustadter serve as executive producers.

Sandberg’s creative team includes his “Annabelle: Creation” director of photography Maxime Alexandre, production designer Jennifer Spence, editor Michel Aller and costume designer Leah Butler.

A New Line Cinema production, “Shazam!” is set for release on April 5, 2019. It will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

Wrestling with this entity inside her, Jean unleashes her powers in ways she can neither comprehend nor contain. With Jean spiraling out of control, and hurting the ones she loves most, she begins to unravel the very fabric that holds the X-Men together. Now, with this family falling apart, they must find a way to unite -- not only to save Jean’s soul, but to save our very planet from aliens who wish to weaponize this force and rule the galaxy.

Sarai: A Social Conciene and Global Awake Up Call Graphic Novel

I usually post information on comic books that a pure entertainment and fun escapism. Comic books that you enjoy on a lazy Saturday afternoon alone or with best Bud.  Today, is not usual and the graphic novel Sarai is far from fun and escapism comic. No, Sarai is an in your face, eye opening, gut wrenching look at the terror of some young women and Nigeria forced into slavery.

Below is the official description and a special note from the author of Sarai, Sonica Ellis.
---
 Description:

Sarai by Sonica Ellis and Jeffrey Lewis

"I want to kill them. I want to kill them all."
Sarai is a 12-year-old Nigerian girl whose modest village life is shattered when she is captured by the Ken Jou Plek (Afrikaans for "Know Your Place"), an extremist organization dedicated to the idea that women and girls should be kept down. Like all extremists, the KJP are prepared to realize this vision through torture, slavery, and bloodshed. Certain she is going to die, Sarai makes a bargain with an unusual ally in an attempt to save her life and the lives of her fellow captives.





Tragedy, trauma, man's seemingly limitless capacity for cruelty, the frailty of human existence, justice, and retribution are all laid bare in this cutting-edge graphic novel.

Brutally relevant and emotionally powerful , Sarai fits perfectly alongside such iconic antiheroes as Marvel Comics' The Punisher, Wolverine and Moon Knight and Image Comics' Hit-Girl

Note from the Author
 
"I can still remember the exact moment the idea came to me. It was April 14, 2014 and I was sitting in front of the TV, frantically trying to get my taxes done so they would be postmarked April 15th, when I heard the CNN anchor say "...as many as 200 girls were abducted from their boarding school in northeastern Nigeria by heavily armed Boko Haram Islamists who arrived in trucks, vans, and buses, officials and witnesses said." Having a young daughter myself I immediately set aside my W-2s and 1040. In the days that followed, I could think of little else. How terrified those poor girls must be. What horrible abuse might they be experiencing at the hands of these savages? Was there anything anyone could do to save them? To cope with this terrible tragedy my mind began to think what it might be like if one of the girls had the power to fight back, to save her fellow classmates, and to exact righteous vengeance on their captors. Hence Sarai was born."

Sarai is on sale at Amazon.com the comic book section.

REMEMBERING THE SOCIAL AND CREATIVE INFLUENCE OF COMICBOOK CREATOR STAN LEE (1922-2018)

REMEMBERING THE SOCIAL AND  CREATIVE INFLUENCE OF COMIC BOOK CREATOR STAN LEE (1922-2018)

My husband woke me at five this morning to tell me that comic book mogul Stan Lee has died at age  95. That instantly brought about a rush of childhood memories of the years that we as kids back in the fifties and early sixties were told that people that read  comic books were of lower intelligence and other such nonsense. These nonsensical notions were usually passed down to us by well meaning parents, teachers and neighborhood bullies wanting to steal our treasured comic books that we used our meager weekly allowances to buy, but only served to make comic books a not so well hidden cult  among the youth of America.

We loved are comic books so much that we bought the newest issues in droves.  Whenever we had free time we could sometimes be caught reading them between the pages of encyclopedias,  biology and geology textbooks. They would be confiscated and trashed but usually not before our parents sneaked a peek at those colorful pages they had condemned as bad for us. Those pages opened our small world to unimaginable adventure, intrigue and drama, which was either absent or limited in the early days of children and youth entertainment.  Stan Lee's comic books also gave us, for a short time a method of  escape from the strict norms of our era, which attempted to define who we should be as kids and young adults as appose to who we could inspire to become. An attempt that met a fast and painful death among the so-called ruling class in the sixties.

As adults and the survivors of the great social suppression attempt of comic books as well as the attack on human  intelligence, we were the first to see our comic book heroes in movie's theaters back in the late seventies.  Stan Lee's superheroes freed our imaginations, and made us want to be heroes too. As the decades marched on, Stan Lee's comic books help to end the divide between the arts, the sciences, and beyond.

What Stan Lee created in the early 1940s has an even  greater impact on our culture today and worldwide. There is not a day that goes by where we don’t see a comic book based movie in theaters or streaming online. Television networks, like the CW, Fox, NBC, and Freeform air weekly DC Comics series. Each and every day and at any hour we can buy comic book based clothing, artwork, games, devices in stores and for sell online. 

All this is due to the help and influence of the creative imagination of Stan Lee.

He will be truly missed.

Excelsior!

DC Universe Live Action Titans, A Review

Tonight I  watched the debut of Dc Universe first original series, DC Titans. Most DC Comics fans knew that the series would be live-action. However, I do not believe anyone was prepared for the dark side of the series to be darker than that of Batman Beyond, or to surpass the violence in that of the most recent DC movies.

Once you got over the brutality displayed by Dick Grayson, it was easy to admit that making the series for online streaming was a wise choice.  Because nowhere in the history of the Titans will you find them as such extremely dark, damaged and dangerous anti-heroes. These incarnations of the Titans were all grown to adapt to the world inside the Dc Universe  in which they live.

The main characters are easily recognizable with Rachel Roth as a scared teenager coming into her own as the Raven.  Frighten of the alien force inside her, Rachel goes on the run after witnessing the death of her mother. Koriand'r / Kory Anders / Starfire with her flaming red hair and glowing emerald eyes that shine brightly when she is aflame. In the series Starfire is puzzle when she wakes up without a memory of who she is, that men are trying to kill her and why she is looking for Rachel Roth. That she can burn men to cinders disturbs her only a little.  Then there is the changeling, Garfield "Gar" Logan, a green haired kid who is better known as Beast Boy.  He is so immature that he can only think of using his abilities of changing into any beast he wants just to steal video games.

Finally,  Richard "Dick" Grayson/Robin,  like Bruce Wayne, Dick lost his parents to violence.  After learning all that he could from Bruce/Batman and fearing that he would not become his own person if he stay with him, Dick strikes out on his own and  during the series forms the Titans. With no superpowers of his own, Dick as Robin, but looking like Nightwing, is no less hindered in his fighting skills than his super pals.  He, like the others, tends to go over the edge when dealing with criminals more than we ever saw in the Titans animated series.  Here in the DC Universe series, Dick Grayson is a detective for the  Detroit Police Department.

One must sign up for an account to stream videos on DC Universe. However, the cost is minimal for the chance to stream some great entertainment from new and classic series, movies, cartoons, plus DC Universe Live Presents: DC Daily, where host Kevin Smith introduces you to all the great features of the DC Universe.

DC Titans stars Brenton Thwaites as Richard "Dick" Grayson / Robin, Anna Diop as Koriand'r / Kory Anders / Starfire, Ryan Potter as Garfield "Gar" Logan / Beast Boy, and Teagan Croft as Rachel Roth / Raven.
