Black Canary. Zatanna Zatara. Two of the DC Universe's brightest stars join forces to combat a deadly new threat-a chilling supernatural foe that preys on their weaknesses and unleashes their awesome powers against each other. A year ago, Black Canary infiltrated a gang of female criminals set to pull a dangerous heist at a Las Vegas casino. Its leader was skilled in hand-to-hand combat and with more than a passing interest in the occult, specifically black magic, one nasty customer. Rather than be taken by Canary or the law, she went to her death, vowing she would get revenge on Canary and her own former gang members. Now, a year to the day later, death stalks those gang members, and Canary must turn to her friend Zatanna to help investigate.

Holly Two of the finest Gotham City sirens team up to battle a vengeful ghost in "Bloodspell," the marvelous new original graphic novel from writer Paul Dini and artist Joe Quinones. This highly entertaining and clever story takes place outside what passes for the "New 52" DC comics continuity, which is terrific, since it means we get to see the REAL Zatanna and Black Canary in action (with some cameo appearances by Green Arrow, Zatara, and, even more briefly, Superman). The classic characters in their classic costumes (more or less; we are also shown some of the variants these gals wore at various times in their past) and a story that is dramatic and also full of charm and warmth, not at all the tedious cosmic blow-hardiness or grim, bloody psychosis of mainstream comics these days.I expected no less from Dini, the genius who gave us so many memorable Batman stories in the comics and in the animated TV series as well as creating the criminal screwball Harley Quinn (with Bruce Timm) and Jingle Belle. What amazes me is that it took DC nine years to publish this, according to the date of the original pitch (included as a supplemental feature, along with the original script and many Quinones pencil sketches and rough layouts). The guy has an Emmy, an Eisner, and a proven track record -- who's running the picture there at the New DC?Bloodspell is crammed with twists, jokes, fond winks at comic book lore and tropes, and a suitable mystery plot that begins with streetwise crimebuster Black Canary investigating the strange suicides of a former underworld gang. Clues point to supernatural involvement, so she looks up her old Justice League comrade Zatanna Zatara, mistress of the magical arts. Together these fishnet fatales investigate and trace the spectral presence behind these deaths. But danger lurks at every step, as they find themselves their worst enemies in a way least expected.These two characters have long been among my favorites and it is a treat to see them both again and handled with such intelligence and wit. I'm not sure why they aren't as well regarded and famous as other DC characters (lack of movie or TV exposure, I guess), since they are both well established with rich backstories. Black Canary is almost as old as Wonder Woman (if a gentleman can be permitted to say such things about a lady, let alone a lady who could tie him into knots), dating back to the 1940s (with occasional revisions and rebootings along the way, often misguided), while Zatanna comes from the 1960s Silver Age, although her father, the magician John (Giovanni) Zatara, made his debut along with "the Bat-Man" in Detective 27 (1939). Both have lived in the shadows of better-known heroes and heroines, despite flitting in and out of the Justice League and Dini's championing of Zatanna in the Batman universe and in her sadly short-lived own title from 2010-11.Zee and the Canary are handled in this book just right. The Girl Gladiator is a no-nonsense fighter and detective (kind of a Honey West with acrobat and judo skills) and her "canary cry" gimmick is underplayed (rightly so). Her sorceress partner, despite wielding almost inconceivable power and having fought eldritch perils from other realities so often that you wonder how she maintains her sanity, is still inherently cheerful and good-natured, one of DC's, well, nicest and least neurotic heroes. Very refreshing in these times. And yes, they share a fondness for fishnet stockings (a fashion statement poked fun of in places, including a scene where Dini and Quinones doppelgangers get their just desserts).A fine, satisfying tale that ends too soon. Let's hope there is a follow-up in the works. This is the type of all-round entertainment comics publishing has lacked for a long time, something that can appeal to dedicated fanboys and non-comics readers alike. Zatanna says, "YUB S*** KOOB!"
6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Fantastic story! By Daniel R. Vivacqua I thought this was a great book! It was nice to read a new DC comic that didn't take place in the New 52 continuity, and Paul Dini really delivered. You may know him from his work on Batman: The Animated Series. In this book, he took two great characters and used the characteristics that make each of them unique to create a great story. They both have moments to shine, and their friendship is fun to see. The premise of the story is interesting too (not going to spoil it) and it makes perfect sense why this particular threat would involve these two particular heroines.The art is awesome. Joe Quinones has a really great style and his action scenes are fantastic. I think where he REALLY shines is in the facial expressions he gives to the characters and the way in which he makes each character look like a unique individual. A lot of comic artists draw the same face on every man and the same face on every woman, and Quinones does not do that at all. His characterization moments are fantastic, and his animated style lends itself really well to Dini's story.Overall I'd say this is a must-read for any DC comics fan, especially anyone longing for a break from the New 52 and missing the pre-New 52 DCU.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. The Fishnet Duo at last! (but a bit too short) By cmccrzy I love this so much! I love Quinones' art and Dini has written a wonderful story! This graphic novel is more reason I would love Quinones to take on more full-comic projects, rather than just covers (do Captain Marvel, please!).I haven't read many comics featuring Zatanna, but this graphic novel was a great introduction to her for people like that. The story is a quick run through the primary storyline (an attempted robbery with a backstabbing that Black Canary stops, flash forward to the present when the backstabber comes back for revenge) with flashbacks to previous adventures featuring the Fishnet Duo and them hanging out in the present as best friends and comrades in arms. Quinones and Dini managed to sneak Wonder Woman and the Furies into this, as well as some more classic Fishnet Duo costumes, and it's great. The banter is fun, the story is well-paced. The art is gorgeous: wonderful expressions from Quinones, beautiful backgrounds, all the little details... I cannot stop complimenting how beautiful this book is.If you love Quinones' art, buy this book. If you want to show your support for women (especially women team-ups) in comics, which is still sadly a rarity, especially when they're the titular characters, buy this book. Send letters to DC asking for more like this. It's only downside, as mentioned, is its relative brevity. While the story is rather meaty and complete, I was left wanting more when it ended. It's just written so well.Hope you enjoy it!
