    During the JLA panel at the SDCC Dan Didio stated that "Paul Dini is doing a new onging series starring the character that wil be solicited as soon as there's enough issues in the can." 
    According to CBR the series will start sometime next year.


    Zatanna is my favorite Gotham girl, one of the few bright and sober characters amongst Gothams more serious cast.  And ya gotta love the classic stage magician outfit, but don't let her appearance fool ya.

    If they get this sereis goin I'm definately on board, how about u?

    because Zatanna is often featured in Vertigo titles and she's never had an ongoing series before so who knows which publisher it would be aligned with "
    yup, I wouldn't see it any hard to believe that she would  be written in vertigo, I think Didio said that it was because over the years, the magic corner of the DCU has been exploted completely by Vertigo and that it is a corner that DC shouldn't ignore. There were also plans for Doctor Fate but they were aborted

    I think it will be DC this time, especially if she isn't on the future Justice League Team and her chances look pretty low. We should probably pay attention to what happens to Zatanna this year going into the next.

    that's because magic is dark...it just belongs in Vertigo, with DC however I can't say I'm as interested, maybe after a few issues come out and someone recommends it to me I'll read Zatanna but if it's anything like Power Girl I won't be enjoying it personally "
    the DCU is actually a very dark place and come on, you really think Zatanna and Power Girl have anything in common?

    according to Didio, Dini  has already done quite a few scrypts for the series which are now being drawn by an unanounced artist. He also said that the series would be finished before the end of the year (unlike what the op here says)

    Um...yeah and you can get all the trades at this point. It's worth it.....well the stuff Dini wrote. A few writers picked up the book for a few issues before they canned it.

    Cost you the same or less to buy the full run off ebay than it would be to buy the trades.

    Just got one a couple months back.

    Oh and I'm mad at you TUN for bumping this to the top of the forum.

    I thought there was a new series in the works. ;(

    Agreed and if Katana and Vibe can get a solo ongoing why not Zatanna? She is more popular than these two combined.

    Exactly, id say she is more popular then Harley too who is getting her solo now. There's probably a handful of books that should be cancelled in favor of others, Shazam could really use a solo book too.

    Yeah, Shazam, Zatanna, Martian Manhnter, Cyborg can all use a solo book, they'll definitely sell better than Green Team and Vibe etc. This doesn't make sense, at least we're getting an OGN featuring Zatanna and BC.

    Man, most heroes would probably sell better then green team or vibe, I dont know what they where thinking adding those.. I guess its nice that they try new things but they have a few obvious oppertunities infront of them that they just seem to ignore.
