Zatanna 5 - Wherein Zach's tongue is discussed

[terrykun]

Four delightful pages under the cut, where we finally after several years get some honest to goodness backstory on Zach and a better glimpse into how he interacts with Zee. (:

Zee just finished off a bunch of fire demons with a holy water attack, dousing Zach, who was holding them off with ice spells.




Awwww, Tiny Zach! And... teenage Zee!

For those who missed the previous issue, Zach's "attempt to reconnect" was throwing a party in Zee's suite. Check the tags. (:



But no. Zee gets seduced by Rohypnol roses instead.

So how does Zach take it?



"First I was like :) Then I was like :( But now I'm like >: D "

Editorially. Zach was introduced at about the time that Zee was doing her apology tour through the DCU books, and it seemed that the only way to sell a Zee-related character was to make him harmless in the one area that Zee (or, more to the point, Metzger's retcon) had messed up in. It's possible that current writers are forgetting said limitation, and hoping that the readers forget as well. (If Zach's doing half the stuff in his act that Zee does, and cannot use magic on Bunny, he's either a REALLY good magician or lucky.)

(: I like to think he's just that damn good. Zee wouldn't let just anyone fill in for her for a gig in Metropolis after all.
