All while having to fend off the lethal team of the returning Dr. Sivana and Mr. Mind!

The series ran for 14 issues, with Jeff Loveness doing a fill-in for issue #12, before coming to end. The Geoff Johns issues were collected in a rebranded collection under the name ''Shazam! and the Seven Magic Lands''.

* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Mary to the rest of the Shazam family. She was the only one who voiced concern about using t he mysterious train.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: As is common with modern depictions, Billy's father is a spitting image of how he looks when he's Shazam.
* SuperheroTrophyShelf: The Shazam family have started on in Rock of Eternity but only has some superhero-themed masks from some museum robbers at the moment.
* WorldOfFunnyAnimals: A new version of Mister Tawky Tawny comes from one of these.
