First Look: DC Sorceress Zatanna Gets New Series

An upcoming DC Black Label story will see Zatanna Zatara face a terrifying demon as she goes on a magical adventure in Sin City.

Zatanna, DC’s fan-favorite spellcaster, will make her Black Label debut in the new series Zatanna: Bring Down the House this June.

A DC press release states that the series will be written by Eisner award-winning writer Mariko Tamaki and artist Javier Rodriguez and will show the titular magician going on an adventure in Sin City. DC described the premise of the new series in its press release, “Zatanna Zatara is the greatest entertainer in the worst hotel and casino off the Las Vegas strip. The ritzier hotels would love to have her as a headliner, but since a devastating instance of magic gone wrong changed the course of her childhood, Zatanna would much rather rock her trademark top hat and fishnets as a sleight-of-hand stage act than bother with real magic.” Interior pages from the comic show Zatanna performing common magic tricks to a nearly empty audience. Zatanna: Bring Down the House goes on sale June 25.

The new DC Black Label story will see Zatanna face off against a terrifying demon that will put her magical prowess to the test. DC writes, “Zatanna will have to take herself and her magical abilities seriously when an interdimensional vortex cracks open the very stage she performs on, releasing a terrifying demon bent on killing her. And if Zatanna hopes to escape with her life, she’ll have to face the even more terrifying consequences of her past.”
