Once she was a tag-along member of the Justice League. The fishnet stockings and the top hat are gone now, as she finally achieves her true potential as one of the most powerful mages in the DC Universe in ZATANNA. In the wake of her ordeal in THE BOOKS OF MAGIC, a weary Zatanna puts her arcane nature aside, preferring now to live a more normal life. But disturbing dreams and images of the ancient chaotic entity Xaos forces her back to her true calling, as Zatanna is compelled to cut loose with her incredible powers in order to defend the city. The sheer power of her lineage is revealed as she truly connects with her "homo magi" side, and Zatanna confronts the legacy of her father, John Zatara, and the mysterious return of her Atlantean mother. She also faces the man she holds responsible for Zatara's death - John Constantine. Written by Lee Marrs, with art and cover by Esteban Maroto. New Format. Cover price $1.95.
