ZATANNA ZATARA’S GREATEST TOUR CONTINUES! With a murderous plague spirit on the loose, the Mistress of Magic makes a stop in Memphis, Tennessee, hoping to find aid in a ghostly and melodious ally. However, the enigmatic Agent Di Manes of the Department of Occult Affairs lurks in the shadows, biding his time, going over his own script, ready for his cue.
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! Zatanna #1 is an interesting new chapter for the character that ups her profile but it all feels a bit familiar…
Jamal Campbell returns to Zatanna as both the writer and artist for a new series that ups the character’s status-quo in the DC Universe. The character, to me, has been one that has flirted with the spotlight but never had much of a run in it. She often has played a key role in events but never the center of those events (I’m not a DC expert so completely an opinion). But now, Zatanna steps on to a bigger stage taking on the role of Prime Magus.
The Prime Magus is a massive role, helping solve issues dealing with magic and protecting different plains, worlds, whatever from magical threats. If the concept sounds familiar, it’s because it feels like the general concept of Marvel’s Doctor Strange as well. There’s been numerous character who have throughout the years dealt with major magical threats but there hasn’t, to my knowledge, really been a character at the center in that role. Now, in Zatanna #1, Zatanna Zatara steps into it. And it works!
While the overall concept feels a bit familiar Campbell shakes things up as well by throwing in the DEO, who is also now more focused on magical threats. It’s clear the DEO and Zatanna will cross paths as allies and adversaries as the series progresses and the inclusion of some organization for the magic space makes sense. It’s a nice addition that gives Zatanna a bit more to play off of in the story.
Campbell’s art is fantastic. Overall, he’s been one of my favorite artists with a style that pops. The colors, the page layouts, the characts, Campbell is a name I look for and know that I’ll enjoy the art. This comic is no exception with some interesting visuals in Zatanna’s battle but also the tension of the DEO watching over her. The lettering by Ariana Maher too is key, especially since one of Zatanna’s more unique things is her speaking backwards. The lettering adds a bit of magical whimsy to that aspect.
Zatanna #1 is a fun start to the series that delivers an interesting direction for the character and hopefully puts her more center in whatever meta story that’s going on. Add in great art and it’s a debut that’s accessible for all and well worth checking out.

SUPERSTAR JAMAL CAMPBELL TAKES ZATANNA’S MAGIC TO THE NEXT LEVEL!
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 (Superman, Zatanna: It’s Showtime) is back for an encore with the mistress of magic as she finally gets her own ongoing series!
ComicsPro 2026 is going on and DC is rolling out what we can expect in the year to come. During the conference, retailers were shown a new trailer for DC Next Level, highlighting the initiative’s rollout through the first half of the year. Lobo #1, Batwoman #1, and Deathstroke: The Terminator #1 will all launch on March 18, followed by The Fury of Firestorm #1 on April 8 and Zatanna #1 on April 29.
DC then spotlighted two newly announced Next Level titles arriving this summer: Barbara Gordon: Breakout by Mariko Tamaki and Amancay Nahuelpan in May, and The Deadman by W. Maxwell Prince and Martín Morazzo in June.
Retailers were also provided a look at DC’s upcoming slate of Next Level titles ahead of solicitation, including Legion of Super-Heroes, Doom Patrol, Jonah Hex, The Demon, and Batman: Shadow of the Bat. Creative teams and launch dates will be announced soon.
DC’s ComicsPro presentation further revealed the next major Next Level series: Teen Titans, launching this summer from Kyle Higgins and Daniele Di Nicuolo, the acclaimed team behind Power Rangers: Shattered Grid. In Teen Titans, Red Hood uncovers a network of missing powered teens and reluctantly joins forces with a new generation of plugged-in, hyper-capable young heroes to find them and expose the lie dividing their world.
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.
