For Family Friday, @TwoPlai goes back to 2008's 'Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam' by Mike Kunkel for DC Comics. Kunkel's charming rendition of the classic superhero gives TwoPlai reason to think about kids, superhero mythology, and the attraction of Shazam.  CORRECTION: TwoPlai incorrectly stated in the recording that this title ended at issue 12. 'BB and the Magic of Shazam' continued until issue 21 in 2010. Sorry.
