But Zatanna in a variety of books is an often too ill-defined character for me to relate to, and the general obsession with the character (especially her DC Animated Universe appearances) has tended to lessen my enthusiasm for her.īloodspell might have been more than satisfactory as a Justice League Unlimited cartoon episode teaming Zatanna and Black Canary. I enjoyed Dini's use of Zatanna in his Detective Comics books ( Death in the City and Private Casebook), especially positing a childhood friendship and romance between Zatanna and Bruce Wayne. That said, I had to acknowledge even going in to Bloodspell that I have never held the fascination with Zatanna that writer Paul Dini and some fans have. But, could DC tell new stories in graphic novel or digital form using such "iconic" runs as Paul Levtiz's Legion of Super-Heroes, Marv Wolfman's New Teen Titans, the Justice League "Satellite Era" or Justice League International days? More and more, I think the answer looks like "never say never." Will you ever see a story using the married Superman and Lois Lane? I doubt it. Second, for anyone who feels like "their" DC Universe has been eroded by the New 52, Bloodspell is a new story set essentially during the Silver Age Justice League "Satellite Era." A book like this, and Batman: Li'l Gotham, demonstrate that there's still stories that can be told using the old continuity. First, it's always good to have original graphic novels on the stands. At the outset, I have to praise DC Comics for releasing Black Canary/Zatanna: Bloodspell.
