Welcome to Tomodachi OC Island, where immediately after a canon couple confesses, I peek outside to see my eldritch horror talking about nukes.
Yo, DC Superfriends, I think you're a bit confused--
(I found this while looking up images of Absolute Zatara.) (DC wiki, there are better ways to place a picture for a character that was just mentioned then including a whole other character with their brief text box mention there.)
Hi, are you still active?
Yep! Still active. I just don't post as much on my main account unless I really want to get several paragraphs deep into a comic subject. (I'm waiting for Zatanna 2026. I need to catch up on Absolute Wonder Woman, but it's always fun to see reactions to Season of the Witch on my feed.)
Thoughts on Brother Night (In Zatannic Panic)
Okay, so, I've read through Zatannic Panic. Which only really contains one Zatanna story, so this turned out much lighter than I was expecting it to be, ramble content-wise. Unfortunately what I did have for content (beyond that I think the art is really nice) was essentially just Brother Night slander. So... here's the Brother Night in Zatannic Panic slander.
ooooo mr campbell you will do a wonder wonder woman/zatanna teamup on the final issue of zatanna ‘25 oooooo
OH MY GOD I WAS RIGHT??????????
Crossing my fingers that Lady White gets more of a backstory elaboration in #6. Allura's taking a lot of the focus, but White was the original threat, and the one that arguably needs the most introduction. At least Allura had some comics before this. What's known so far is: - She was famous Hollywood actress. - She's a vampire. - She died (?) and cheated death to where her soul was resting in peace. Presumably not in Hell. Buuuut, that leaves out a lot of factors such as how she became a vampire, what that cheated peace entailed, who she is, really, (her name cannot seriously be Lady White unless there's some big coincidence going on) and how she got to Hollywood. I want a corruption arc flashback. Or maybe a 'Gee my agents are pigs, if they don't want me to age, I won't age forever' flashback. White's kind of a wild card, could go either way.
Oh my God, I get it now. Allura separated Zatara from Zee because that's what Sindella did to her and Good Allura.
Jamal Campbell, the writer you are--
What do you think of Allura being a Sylph?
Hah, you've correctly assumed I read @aboutzatanna's post earlier. I like it! Reading between the lines, it's a pretty easy conclusion to make, and it definitely gives a lot of potential as to how her powers might work (and how she might work, as an Elemental) that isn't very apparent if you're reading it from a modern lens.
I will say, though, I don't think this characterization as a Sylph will be used in Campbell's run. Campbell is setting her up as the 'Sorceress of Shadows,' so I think his intent there is theming her off of his revised backstory, which involves her being a 'living' shadow made from Good Allura. In that case, her element is exactly what she is (or started out as): shadow.
While I like air theming much more than darkness darkness evil magic contrast, this is Campbell, so I trust in his ability to deliver something 'showsman' and compelling. Allura's already made a splash with that final page.
About the only piece of the puzzle that's missing, from Allura as a Sylph or as a shadow, is just what she's the 'guardian' of, or what her actual motivation is. I got boomeranged with my one-off comment about Lady White and Brother Night last time, so I'm sticking with what I said a while back and headcanoning that Allura's hatred probably stems back to Sindella.
Sindella made Allura. Allura might've become her guardian, something might've gone wrong, she might've been too pushy or was still evil even though she cared about Sindella-- the end result was the same. Sindella vanished, and Allura took vengeance on the Zataras ('sparing' Zatanna by only cursing her to not see her father, a fitting fate if Allura reads her as 'half' Sindella's kid to spare her).
My problem with my own headcanon, though, is just that-- it feels off. Like something's missing from the solution. Because Allura doing everything for Sindella doesn't exactly translate to hating all Zataras this intensely, with no discrimination. It's both too visceral and too impersonal to work with her actual behavior.
No matter how much showsman Allura puts on, if you blame someone for the death of a person you've been protecting, I think the emotional outcome would be much more hard hit than how Allura's usually like. Maybe it's a deliberate contrast, maybe she can't feel like that (because she's not human and also 'evil'), but I dunno. It doesn't completely click.
So. Hopefully Campbell sorts out what's up with Allura in the final issue. With the new emphasis on Sindella, I think there's some real character-defining work that is just within reach to make.
No matter what happens in issue 6, I'm going to celebrate the Lady White independence plot.
I can’t believe my ‘Lady White hits Brother Night with a brick’ jokes came true.
Random Zatanna villain plots + headcanons + remakes (some cracky, some serious).
I recommend @aboutzatanna's list before reading because I'm about to go into a bunch of ramblings about characters not used since 1960-1970.
Stray Zatanna #4 (2025) Thoughts
Welp, that is definitely Allura.
Also, if Allura wasn't likely to hijack this plot, I would've been begging Lady White to hijack Brother Night's antagonist spot through divorce. Run, Lady. Run.
Run and make your stage play puns without the boring edgelord mobster man to drag you down (no offense to Night fans, he just doesn't do it for me. I prefer Tannarak.)
Also also-- Fuseli! Fuseli's back! While I loved him reappearing, I swear he didn't have this speech pattern in Dini's run, it threw me off a bit.
Oh well. I'm not going to complain about more Fuseli, short as his spot was. Think this one's my favorite issue so far-- if only the whole series were longer. I think it'd do the whole run good to flesh out the stage crew more which I definitely don't need because I'm going to try and write them in my fanfics before their lives and Zatanna's guilt constantly get brought onto the line.
Getting wild with Zatanna's spells (and having her fight someone else who references magic tricks in his reality warping) gets surprisingly fun to plot.

There, colored it
Reblogging because I for some reason absolutely do not remember drawing this
Plastic Man 2018 isn't that good, but I thank the person who brought it up to me, because it's all worth it for the randomest collection of villains I've ever seen going: 'Hm, dang, sucks to be him.' At Dr. Psycho actively getting attacked. As he deserves. Bonus:
And:
Strange: 'Hey Queen Bee, you alright?' Psycho presumably still dead on the floor:
