Jamal Campbell Casts A Spell For New ‘Zatanna’ Series From DC Comics

Llebpmac Lamaj — sorry, Jamal Campbell — will be pulling double duty for a magical new six-issue series from DC Comics: Zatanna, which will hit stores in February of 2025.

“Wonder, mystery, mischief, and fishnets make up the core of a quintessential Zatanna Zatara stage show, and it’s high time she returned to the spotlight,” said Campbell via a press release provided to Comic Book Club. “In her newest DC Comics series, Zatanna is dragged down a rabbit hole of cursed swords, hidden truths, and multiple brushes with death. She’ll need all her wits and every spell she can muster in order to make it out the other side in one piece.”

In the new DC All In book — so, main continuity versus the recent (excellent) Black Label book Zatanna: Bring Down The House — Zatanna is getting her stage crew back together, when “her plans are disrupted before they even begin when her crew is abducted by a ghostly new adversary, The Lady White.” And in a neat artistic twist, Campbell is embracing two styles for the book. The normal moments are drawn in his usual clean style, with “natural colors, and subtle shading.” Meanwhile, the more magical moments in the issues will be “loud with brought and saturated pastels and neons.”

It’ll also include a slew of characters beyond Zatanna: Blue Devil, Madame Xanadu, and Zatanna’s parents, Sindella and Zatara.

“It’s been a dream tackling Zatanna’s world, introducing brand-new allies and adversaries as well as bringing back some old classics that haven’t been seen in a while,” continued Campbell. “I’m weaving all my appreciation of the character into these pages in order to show and prove what makes Zatanna so magical.”
