Some Bits from Black Canary/Zatanna: Bloodspell

[espanolbot]

Here are from bits from Paul Dini's graphic novel Bloodspell which I liked, and kind of make me wish that there was a series about the young adventures of Zatanna. Admittedly her pre-Reboot solo series did have flashbacks to her as a kid (complete with capturing a thief with a speak and spell as her new braces made it hard for her to talk properly), but there's a lot of potential there.

Firstly, when a 12 year old Zatanna met a 16 year old Dinah for the first time.










Secondly, so years later when Zatanna joins the Justice League, the reference to the "Hawks" is nod to how Zatanna actually debuted in Hawkman 4 way back when (her dad being an old school Golden Age character).










And finally, another flashback to Zee and Dinah's past, this time from the Satellite Era.

I ♥ young, awkward, but still badass Zee.

Also, I wish I could've had a "magical bat mitzvah." HAROT NOITROP TNAHC FLESTI!

Zee: 'I totally grok you.'
J'onn: 'I am so tired of that joke...'

I really need to pick this one up.

It is so very Dini, and I'm okay with that.

One of the first skills learned by members of the Homo Magi is repressing one's instinct to snicker immaturely.

I really love this :D

Both the writing and the art are 99% awesome with a slittle slip here and there (like, the art is gorgeous almost everywhere, but a few panels like the "you lied! there were yetis!" are ugly. And I don't buy that you can duck the canary cry so easily). Overall the final result is great.
