DC announces Zatanna by Jamal Campbell and The Fury of Firestorm by Jeff Lemire and Rafael De Latorre

Posted on by

DC: Next Level launches this March with Batwoman by Greg Rucka and DaNi, Deathstroke: The Terminator by Tony Fleecs and Carmine di Giandomenico, and Lobo by Skottie Young and Jorge Corona. Following that in April, DC has announced two new comic book series that push magic, mystery, and raw power into uncharted territory; Zatanna by Jamal Campbell and The Fury of Firestorm by Jeff Lemire and Rafael De Latorre.

The community of Bedford, Colorado, is a sleepy small town. The people say hello to their neighbors, attend town hall meetings, and root for the local high school football team on Friday nights. But this idyllic small town is thrown upside down when the Nuclear Man arrives and starts…experimenting. Firestorm has turned buildings to sand and people to glass with no remorse and no warning. But what exactly provoked Ronnie Raymond to commit this heinous act, and can anyone contain the fury that is Firestorm?

Brought to you by the acclaimed team of Jeff Lemire and Rafael De Latorre, this explosive new series ignites the next major chapter of DC’s Next Level line.

The Fury of Firestorm #1 includes open-to-order card stock variants by Chris Burnham and Riley Rossmo, priced at $4.99 US ($3.99 US main; $6.99 US foil). Lemire provides a 1:25 incentive variant, while Burnham’s cover will also be available as an open-to-order foil edition. A DC: Next Level variant by Jorge Corona and a blank sketch cover round out the assortment.

Zatanna Zatara embarks on her greatest tour yet! As the newest and first Prime Magus in millennia, it is now Zatanna’s sworn responsibility to oversee and guide the world of magic. All eyes are on her.

How will she accomplish this grand task? How will she shoulder this heaviest of responsibilities? How will she confront the horrors waiting in forgotten histories? With a wink, a flourish, and a whole lot of magic!

All-star writer/artist Jamal Campbell returns to the character for an encore performance after his 2025 limited comic book series with DC’s mistress of magic, launching Zatanna into a new ongoing series!

Zatanna #1 features open‑to‑order card stock variants by Adam Hughes and Kyuyong Eom, priced at $4.99 US ($3.99 US main; $6.99 US foil). Julian Totino Tedesco contributes a 1:25 incentive variant, while Hughes’s cover will also be offered as an open‑to‑order foil edition. A Next Level variant by Jorge Corona and a blank sketch cover complete the lineup.
