I’ll kick off the discussion with Guidebook #1. There’s so many fun worlds to read and look at. From the gender bent world to the captain marvel world trying to map out the multiverse was a lot. The number of gaps though frustrated me alot

Loved the fan take over episode, and I want to be down with book club also so here I am! :slight_smile: Multiversity I’m looking forward to, it sounds reminiscent of Who’s Who?. Anyone here ever get a chance to read those?

@Shawn_Shambley I’ve read a variety of the Who’s Who books. They’re neat and fun (and fun and neat) yearly enclycopedias in comic book form.

I don’t think I own any Who’s Who books anymore but they were always interesting reads.

So I read Thunderworld Adventures on the plane yesterday and I loved it. About a month ago my friend asked for recommend Shazam reading and I told him Thunderworld. It’s just a perfect constriction of the character, IMO.

My favorite part of the book was the juxtaposition to the murderous Sivana. It really shows the different shades of the DCU.

But what did YOU think of Thunderworld Adventures?!

Favorite moment?

And does it make you more excited for the Shazam film?!

(Also please don’t spoil the Shazam movie. There have been a lot of early screenings, but it’s still not out! So please please please no spoilers)

Is there a reason that we’re reading them out of the order they we’re released? I know this doesn’t have to do with the comics we’re reading this week (loving them btw), but I’ve been curious.

@Flashpoint0909

This is the release order and the order in which they are collected. Glad you’re enjoying it!
