DC's Zatanna 1st Issue and Fishnets!

Uncle Pappy Wolf doesn't know why...ahem "fishnets " ...but he's always had a warm place in his heart for the lovely character Zatanna. So much potential. So far the story is pretty good. I prefer the variant cover by Brian Bolland (see added pic), and the inside art by Stephane Roux has a wonderful "classical feel" look to it. The coloring adds a nice "ominous but not too dark" mood to the story with warm evening shades of red spread throughout the panels. This is one title where the art does seem to add to the storyline quite nicely.
Speaking of the story, I'm diggin the Zatanna/Cop partnership angle and I really hope writer Paul Dini keeps that formula throughout the next few issues. It makes for some real interesting future character arcs and having a non magic "Muggle-esc" character to act as a vehicle for the reader into Zatanna's crazy world is a real plus in making exposition bubbles more natural. This title has a lot of potential and it reminds me a lot The Dresden Files stories or dare I say X- Files with a magic twist and fishnets ...did I mention the fishnets? U.P Wolf can't wait to pick up and devour the next few installments. A solid 1st issue. 3.75 Paws out of 5!
