Thoughts
I really, really loved this issue. Idk what else to say, beyond that the art was great and that the story seems pretty good. Especially if Steve Trevor dies in this storyline. That'd be great, honestly. Can't wait for the rest of this storyline. I loved the character development. Can't wait for #10. Oh and my only issue with the Shazam story is that we haven't actually seem Shazam himself in a long ass time. This issue gets a 9/10.
The Flash: "All right, Weapons Master. You better, uh, talk or..."
Weapons Master: "Or what?"
The Flash: "Or I'm going to...I'm going to get really... Upset."
Weapons Master: "*tt* I'm not telling you anything."
