Zatanna Zatara: Mistress of Magic Appreciation 2021

[Mai Zen]

Yeah. Man, she really needs to reconnect with the broader DCU.


Zatanna by Danica Brine:

Simply majestic. Well DC Magic and its people is kinda hideous and seclusive. Hope they taking more active role in general

[Frontier]

I hope her normal look being on the cover means she's sporting that look in Truth and Justice and not the JLD look.

Yeah. Man, she really needs to reconnect with the broader DCU.


Zatanna by Danica Brine:

Gorgeous!

I think Zatanna should get a new origin story.
The one that we have is a single issue of Secret Origin which she shares with her father. It's more of Zatara's origin than Zatanna's. Its also awful.
Her father goes missing, she read his diary and realizes she can do magic by speaking backwards.
Then there's Zatanna's Search series where she appears in 4 other titles but they are more focused on the heroes helping Zee rather than Zee doing things by herself.

I want an updated origin story where she goes on an adventure to learn magic rather than learning it by reading a diary.

Let the battle commence!

Queens, I hope we get to see this battle someday

If Marvel ever crosses over with DC again, do not let Scarlet Witch anywhere near Zatanna! In Heroes Reborn: Siege Society, Zatanna's Squadron Supreme counterpart Arcanna appears spoilers:

Wanda is fighting Arcanna, says "No more you", and Arcanna is destroyed.

end of spoilers

Zatanna will say that backwards back at Wanda, and then they will both die.

Well, at the rate that DC kicks its continuity tables over, you might not need wait long. That said, there's no reason the journey that you mention can't be integrated into her current origin.

Just don't call it "Zatanna: Year One" and I'll be happy.

Zatanna by Danica Brine:

She looks amazing.
I don't know why the comics change her look so much. The classic was the best. Except in her 2010 series where the artist Stephen Roux managed to make her look hideous. Maybe the proportions were wrong or the cloths weren't right. Either way Zee didn't look right in his drawings to me.

Also they got to use Marcio Takara's design which he made for future State. It looks more like her classic design that most people recognize.

I'm right with you. The leather pants/street wear outfit she's been using since JLD relaunched doesn't work for me. I'm glad that most out of continuity works ignore it in favor of her classic design like Truth and Justice or the Round Robin Mini was going to use. I also really liked her Future State outfit and hope they intend to have her switch to it eventually and preferably soon. Or just go back to her classic Stage Magician outfit like other works. Either one would work for me.

The darkest timeline would be one where he entirely draws it too.

She was a hooker at one point in her past.

As do I. It would be beyond epic.
