Black Canary and Zatanna : Bloodspell (2014) HC
Author: Paul Dini
Publisher: DC Comics
Pub date:2014
OVERVIEW
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 and now the story
can be told!
REVIEW
With an almost Darwyn Cooke/J. Bone-style artwork, Joe
Quinones pulls off along with author Paul Dini (BATMAN: TAS, Streets of Gotham)
a fun gal-duo standalone story that showcases the very first meeting of these
Justice Leaguers as well as a Vegas team-up.
The story has the standard, casino heist gone wrong plot;
the art by Quinones pushes the novel along with some uncanny facial portrayals
of the characters that are also reminiscent of Amanda Conner’s lively work.
This team-up is a fresh breeze since it pits Black Canary
and Zatanna in their pre-New 52 identities and gives the story a more fun,
light-hearted approach that should captivate a wide range of audiences tired of
all the current doom and gloom.
RATING
4 out of 5 MONSTERS
