Either by fighting along his friend Billy or finally spending some time with his father, Victor's life seems better than ever. The problem is that the rest of the world might still have problems with him.
As usual with this title, some things work, others don't.
David Walker brings a new chapter where he still focuses on some character work and dynamics and they're well-executed in a few segments. The scene between Vic and his father is nicely done and touches some emotional moments between them. The fight along Shazam was also fun.
The problem are still the things that Walker needs to force into the story that seem out of place or awkward. The most inexplicable one being Vic's "sense of humour", he would start telling jokes (not funny ones I might add) while the rest of his friends and family would start saying he never stop with them, but this comes out of nowhere and it feels pretty contrived by pretty much screaming: "LOOK! LOOK! THIS IS VICTOR'S PERSONALITY!" and it doesn't work in that sense because it didn't evolve in a natural way (and that also happened in previous issues whenever Vic tries to be "funny").
Then there's the other things like making a Doctor Dolittle reference that is so dated that not even Shazam knows about it (now that I think about it, Vic shouldn't know about it either). Plus, the main plot barely progresses with them simply fighting a typical supervillain and the government trying to capture Vic.
Felipe Watanabe, Daniel HDR and Julio Ferreira share the pencils and is a pretty consistent work actually with good looking characters and strong action scenes.
Other than that, skip, skip, skip. This probably won't get better until the end of the book.
