Apr 29, 2026This is a very different kind of antagonist for Zatanna, one who will test her skills in a new way, and it’s a great start that feels different enough from the previous mini to justify the new #1. I’m hoping Campbell can continue to deliver a story as ambitious as this opening issue, while also continuing to tie it in more deeply with the ongoing plot threads in the DCU that this is spinning out of.

I admit I was lost for a good part of the issue, but the explanations at the end made everything clearer. I think it's going to be fun.

There isn't much meat on the bone in issue one, story wise. Which leaves you questioning if this issue is worth it. The pace, action, visuals are on point but there is nothing new or something to be excited about.
