DC’s Mistress of Magic returns in February with a new series written and drawn by acclaimedFar Sectorand Superman artist Jamal Campbell, with lettering by Ariana Maher. The six-issue limited series, which is set in the core DC universe, sees the Sorceress Supreme on tour once more, but her plans to get her life back on track are thrown into chaos by the arrival of a new adversary known as The Lady White.
Campbell said of the new book in a statement, “I’m weaving all my appreciation of the character into these pages in order to show and prove what makes Zatanna so magical.”
The first issue comes with a main cover by Campbell and a host of variants from Chris Bachalo and Jaime Mendoza, Sozomaika, David Talaski, Saowee, plus an additional variant from Campbell himself.
“Wonder, mystery, mischief, and fishnets make up the core of a quintessential Zatanna Zatara stage show, and it’s high time she returned to the spotlight,” Campbell continued. “In her newestDC Comicsseries, Zatanna is dragged down a rabbit hole of cursed swords, hidden truths, and multiple brushes with death. She’ll need all her wits and every spell she can muster in order to make it out the other side in one piece.”
Here’s a preview of some of Campbell’s interior pages from the first issue, along with a character lineup for the new book.
Zatanna has been a member of some ofthe best Justice League line-ups.
