Product Description:
Witness the pulse-pounding first meeting of the Man of Steel and Captain Marvel, Earth's Mightiest Mortal. Only the combined efforts of these two powerful heroes will be enough to defend Fawcett City and Metropolis from the combined onslaught of their archenemies: Lex Luthor, Dr. Sivana and Eclipso.

Ever since I was a child in the 70s, I have loved Captain Marvel/Shazam, but he has always been in the shadow of the Big S! A meeting of these two have always been like two world champion Superbowl teams meeting in a head to head battle. Though past issues have always wanted to see the two guys battle, it is better to see the two equally admire and aid each other. This reintroduction of their first meeting is a little on the light side for literary merit, but overall is excellent in execution and ... Read More

This is yet another try at telling the story of when Superman and Captain Marvel met, because pre-Crisis these guys lived on their own separate worlds in separate universes.

He is seriously and realistically portrayed.

Two of comicdom's most legendary characters are none other than Superman and Captain Marvel, more popularly known as Shazam.
To the unfamiliar, at first glance the two heroes seem almost indistinguishable from one another with Captain Marvel wearing the spiffier costume while Superman possesses the more iconic insignia.
Superman/Shazam: First Thunder chronicles a contemporary interpretation of the first meeting between the World's Mightiest Mortal and the Man of Steel. ... Read More

A simple but nicely told retcon of how Superman first met Captain Marvel, fighting big ugly monsters, cultists, giant robots, etc.
I may get flamed for this, but it's better than the Justice League Unlimited episode "The Clash", in which Superman uncharacteristically acted like a callous d***weed towards Cap for an honest mistake; the overall ep was basically just an excuse to have Superman and Captain Marvel duke out, which has been a popular feature in the comics.
