Zatanna Shot! Is DC's Prime Magus Down for the Count?
Zatanna, DC's premier backwards-speaking magician and the literal Prime Magus of the universe, is in serious trouble. Zatanna #3 drops this Wednesday, and it opens with our heroine critically wounded. She's been felled by an enchanted bullet, collapsing in a chaotic scene at Elodie's Bar in Memphis.
This isn't just a physical wound; it's a challenge to her very status. As Prime Magus, Zatanna wields immense power. But can she tap into her newfound abilities while laid low? The preview hints at her being whisked away to the ethereal realm of Guede Nibo, suggesting a deeper magical journey.
Meanwhile, Agent Di Manes of the Department of Occult Affairs is making his own moves. He’s preparing a "grand finale" that promises to redefine his relationship with Zatanna. Jamal Campbell continues his work as writer, artist, and cover artist, promising a visually stunning and magically charged issue.

Catzye Take
It's always a big deal when a hero of Zatanna's caliber is taken down this hard. Fans will want to see how Jamal Campbell leverages this vulnerability to push her character and powers forward. We're curious to see if this "newfound power" hints at a shift in her magical abilities.
