A nice stand alone story of how Superman and Shazam can be so alike, yet so different.

This is a basic team up idea. Both Superman and Shazam are after the same people. When things get a bit too much for each other they decide to team up and kick some booty. Easy enough premise. Then, a terrible event happens to one of them and this takes a darker route than I expected. The last few pages really sum up who these characters are and why they are so alike and different all at once.

Good: The art is cartoony as hell but it works so well. I love the brightness and happiness of it all. I also thought Superman and Shazam dialogue back and forth is both endearing and fun. The last issue hits home and those final few pages really made me smile to show who these characters are and why. It sums it up perfectly.

Bad: The pacing is a bit weird. It's slow at parts and SUPER fast at others. Think being 4 issues it gets rushed though a bit. I also felt like the basic storyline, least first 3 issues, are fun but just same old we've always seen.

Overall, a 3.5 out of 5. A nice surprise. With a extra issue I can see this being a 4 out of 5.
