Love the art work and it does look like fun, but not a whole lot of substance in the preview pages.

I like two of the outfits I know. The fishnets and the blue/white JLA Detroit era one. The ponytail one, not so much.

She also wore leathers for a short (all-too-short IMO) time in the mid-90s.

Not familiar with that one. Any idea of an issue or anything.

The leathers debuted in an Esteban Maroto-drawn Zatanna mini-series, which I haven't read. I saw them when she made a guest appearance in Ostrander's Spectre, but I can't remember the issue, only that it was somewhere in the first 30 issues.

I had a dream about Zatanna last night and in it she was wearing her George Perez-designed blue and white costume. Proof positive that that is her best outfit!

I agree with you Blacula, I always liked that outfit the best. I didn't realize until a few years ago that it was basically a tuxedo costume.

This book has been on my pull list since it was announced over a year and a half ago. Dini has been working wonders with Zee in his Batman work. The guy gets her, and even more makes her work in a world of super-heroes.
With her life as a performance artist, I gotta say the fishnets is the best look for her. Everything else screams super hero spandex, and Zee just doesn't seem at home with that crowd.
Just spouting off.

I'm pretty much with CJ 100%. I've been waiting for this comic since Dini's first usage of Zatanna in Detective a few years ago. He writes her effortlessly and I feel like his stories with Zee will maintain the level of quality he had with Batman plus with the quirkiness Zatanna brings.
I also agree on the fishnet stockings / magician look, which differentiates her from all the rest. I don't want her to be 'just another superhero' and this helps set her apart. Plus its a callback to her father's series and all the great Mandrake-inspired magician characters of the early Golden Age. I would love if her adventures took on that pulp feel as well.
Plus, sure, she looks great in fishnets. Always a bonus.

Just read the preview with dialog in the back of Superman, the Last Stand of New Krypton.
I'm definately going to be getting this. Nice stuff. Set up of the status quo, or at least what seems to be the status quo. Looking forward to this.

Zatanna had a great showing in this week's The Brave and the Bold. I hope Dini writes her as well as I thought JMS did.
Not to mention Chiang's smoking hot (but in an understated way) depiciton of her. Loved that her club-outfit was kinda reminiscent of her Sindella-inspired black body-suit costume.

Got and read the first issue.
Not bad. Solid issue, with a lot of potential for the series. I'm on board for the time being.
The art was beautiful, and Dini really like the character, so I have hope that he'll keep the story flowing.

It was a beautiful book wasn't it. And the tweak to Zee's outfit should please fans from all angles.
Dini gave us a great opening. You can really appreciate's Zee's skill and talents, as well as her sincerity. The line about demystifing the mystical was so great, easily her "great power/great responsibility."

Definitely worth the pickup. Since I'm losing Power Girl, this works. And hey, the young woman that played Z on smallville...works for me. Give her a show...If they can make "Buffy", Charmed, etc...work...why not Z?

Bought it. Liked it.
Really liked the glimpse we got of Z as a person and what motivates her.
