Pros:
Adam Beechen is the guest artist for this single issue story. Zee is in Hollywood to help promote a museum of magic relics and clothing. There's a couple of cameo items like Dr. Fate's boots and Dr. Thirteen pipe. Things seem to be in order until one of the relics' essence called Sargon, an old friend of Zee's Father, starts to argue with the other magic relics essences including Zatara's sunglasses and combine to form a to fight his own version of crime in Hollywood. Silly? Yes. Beechen still has Zee's personality and humor intact from Paul Dini's previous issues.
While the cover doesn't portray what to expect from this issue, I do like it. Chad Hardin comes back as the artist after last issue, and once again, I enjoyed his work along with Wayne Faucher's coloring.
Cons:
For a single story issue, it's hard for me to enjoy Adam Beechen story because the story seems a bit too silly even for Zatanna.
Plus there's the fact that I already read a story that somehow brings Zee's Father back for a short time, helps Zee somehow, and disappeared again.
Overall: Again, this isn't really a bad issue, but it wasn't good either. It was pretty average issue and a minor setback to me. Paul Dini is set to return next issue, so things might get more interesting.
