Shazam is the name of the wizard. DC sued Captain Marvel to oblivion (and later bought him from Fawcett). During that time, Marvel Comics took advantage and published their own Captain Marvel, since, you know, it's in the company's name and all.

Sooooo DC isn't allowed to call Captain Marvel "Captain Marvel" in their comic book TITLES. Pretty sure he's still Captain Marvel in the inside pages though!

Also, Fables. I'm a huge Fables fan, and am really sad about the series ending after 150 issues. The basic premise of Fables is all the fairy tale characters you know are true, and actually living in New York City. Why they are there, and what they are doing in our mundane world, is the subject of the series. I thought it lost a considerable load of steam after it brought down the first antagonist in issue 75. The second antagonist was just as bad, but was also brought down in issue 100. After which, it basically meandered until we get to the end this year, in 150.
