DC Knows Captain Marvel’s Name!

If you’ve listened to the Shazamcast! podcast or read this accompanying blog for very long you know that what to call Captain Marvel is a big deal and, in quite literal fashion, a first concern. And an ongoing one. For real.

Based on the Reddit discussions on the issue it seems that the average comic book reader today is okay with re-naming the character Shazam, silly as that idea is.

In that context it is nice to see DC, in their recent Superman Annual #3 acknowledge what should be commonly recognized: Earth’s Mightiest Mortal is named Captain Marvel.

Now that DC editorial has demonstrated they know the character’s name can we also hope they understand the need for an ongoing series featuring Captain Marvel?
