** Structure-wise, it would've made more sense to have Hawk fall in with Deathstroke's bastard Titans since the character has a history of violent behavior and was even an ex-villain with the book exploring Slade manipulating Hank's anger problems while Dove tries to save him. Likewise, with the amount of focus the book tried to put on the Black Marvel Family, it would've made more sense to put Osiris's plotline in a Marvel Family series. Since Osiris and Freddy Freeman were the only Shazam-related characters who still had powers at this point, reviving Black Adam and Isis would've thematically worked alongside Freddy trying to help Billy and Mary after the Wizard took away their powers as well.
