duo_forbidden's Zatanna #13 - The Cat with the Crystal Eye Ball review

    Avatar image for duo_forbidden

    13 is really an ill-suited number

    Synopsis: A Black cat shows Zatanna some future events.

    What's Good?

    Paul Dini is a genius. Since this is the thirteenth issue of Zatanna, what better way to associate a superstitious number by adding a Black cat with an eye that shows the future, Brother Night breaking out of jail, black crows, and the freaking Spectre? Thankfully, there's no mention of this series being cancelled (Let's keep it that way). It seems like the upcoming months Zee will be busy dealing with these two characters somehow. And if there was any reason why that Detective Colton was hanging around in this series, the ending adds some new development to his character.

    I love Adam Hughes' cover artwork. Jamal Igle's artwork is still solid.

    What's Bad?

    Too many story lines to follow in this issue. I'm looking forward to seeing these events take place later on, but it's just too many developments in this issue (which is probably what Paul Dini had in mind when writing this issue. After all, there are some interesting stuff that might be taking place in the future issues).

    Overall: Dini makes his point across with this issue. It's been almost a year since this series have started, and it's been fun so far. I can't wait what Dini does in the second year of Zatanna.

      Detective Colton, I am your father! 0

      Zatanna #13 oooohhh issue 13 how unlucky of a number. Ok so this issue mainly revolves around Brother Night breaking out of jail, Zatanna being confronted by a magic cat that gives her a vision of Spectre, and Dale Colton finding out that Brother Night's his father. Sorry I GOT REALLY TIRED BY THIS REVIEW!   The GOOD! This issue was fun to read. I liked how Dini used a black cat in his thirteenth issue to relate the two. Zatanna possibly having a fight with Spectre in the future seems plausible ...

      The Rise of Brother Night 0

      The Good: Yet another snazy Adam Hughes cover. I really like the way Zatanna's holding up the issue number, and overall the whole thing has a nice painted quality too it, it's sort of old school without looking old.Paul Dini's sense of humor is still abound in this comic without taking over. he knows how to balance things right.I REALLY love the design for that cat. The crazy crystal ball eye, and the mystic eye pattern on it's back. Plus the entire idea of it really intrigues me. I love the way...
