The death of those that's close to you is always hard
especially if you've
promised to help them
But it becomes unbearable if it's your fault
and that's exactly the place that Zatanna was in
My name is Zatanna Zatara I'm a Spellaholic is the phrase our story opens with
My name is Zatanna Zatara I'm a Spellaholic is the phrase our story opens with
Zatanna started her life on
stage with her father and she wasn't exactly a natural to show business she
would often mess up her father's acts which added to his stress because on top
of being a single parent he was a performer and a superhero and don't
think for a second he was ever paid for being a superhero but he was capable of
great feats of magic
You see both Zatanna and her father have the ability
to say a phrase backwards, this phrase will become an incantation and it will
manipulate reality to their will. So he was able to do things like
turn a whole audience into rabbits.
But in the present-day Zatanna is a superhero with
a low self-esteem and her father has long since passed
Apparently she had a
very very bad encounter with evil recently.
You see on the seventh day of
Arachne which is the secret 13th month on the mystic calendar,
Zatanna had
gone to Barron Winters as herself in a number of other magic users had been
having these bad dreams and all of them knew that these dreams were a warning sign
An evil so powerful it could destroy the entire world was coming
But Zatanna knew the other people in this situation in fact they were some of her closest friends
There was Timothy Ravenwind, Mister Incredible, Taia and Terry Thirteen
Terry Thirteen is actually not a magic user he's one of the world's
biggest skeptics but his daughter is Traci 13 one of the most powerful
teenage magic users in the world
The reason they've gathered together to
combat these dreams is because before the Zatanna's father died he wrote for lost
books, now in these four lost books there was the secret to saving the world
should a great evil ever arise, but these books were locked inside of her father's
mind as he died so the only way to retrieve them is
to go to a place that exists between imagination memory and reality itself
So Zatanna starts the ritual to take everyone to Interreality
And as they arrive there they are greeted by King Ra-man
However they've arrived at a
really bad time, apparently that enemies of Ra-Man have
joined forces to attack the monasteries of the exalted ones
Zatanna naturally offers help to fight, but Mr. Incredible points out that these beings that are
going to attack King Ra-Man are so like out of human comprehension if they even
laid eyes on them they would lose their minds
So King Ra-man sent the group on
their way to the Cellars of Buddhakhamun.
The Cellars of Buddhakhamun are
basically the gateways of interrealities while there you can see
reality swimming like schools of fish and never really interacting and each
reality has its own set of the laws of physics
Terry 13 experiencing all of this is totally a skeptic because as far as he
was aware he was just sat down at a table and was doing a meditation thing
and he actually points out to Zatanna if this is real that means that these
multiverses that he's stepping on like platforms exist within his mind
And yeah
that is basically one of the fundamentals of real-world mysticism
like going outside of comics that's one of the fundamentals of real-world
mysticism if you want to get into the occult what you have to understand is
multiple realities exist within your mind and
There's a lot of real-world
mysticism like within this story
Sidenote real quick I was actually
raised in sort of like an occultistic or a mysticism belief system so if you
guys ever want to see me talk about more stuff to do if the occult within comics
please I'm on the comments down below because there is a lot more than you
would think just to clarify though I'm not a Wiccan
or a pagan or anything like that I'm just a completely different ball game
that I'm a part of
As our group pass through these realities they see
themselves in the past and in the future at the same time till they eventually
find themselves in a reality that has a single book tree this tree literally
grows books and in every single one of these books
is the minds of every single human that has ever existed and ever will exist
Zatanna casts a spell to reveal her father's for lost books and normally
that'll be the end of it they get the four books they leave
But this time
Zatanna sees a face
You see what Zatanna hadn't told anyone is that a few
nights ago when she should have been cleansing herself of all excess magic to
properly do this or seance a ritual kind of thing she was doing a spell to find
herself a man
Now she wasn't specific in the type of man she wanted she just did
a spell for the man of her dreams...
That could be anything. So she was expecting a
wizard or a knight or a hero
What she got was an interdimensional demon
without form so in this reality this being set the tree on fire
and when Zatanna wakes up her companions have been reduced to
ash
Turns out whoever this being was went by
the name Gwydion.
Zatanna felt broken because these people weren't strangers
to her they were her friends they were relying on her
and there is potential
that magic could bring them back but what she's been through is so traumatic
that she loses her ability to cast spells and this is especially bad
considering her spell to bring her the man of her dreams brought forward a
literal demon
So back at the support meeting when it ends a lot of people are
like you know that's not your fault right but Zatanna doesn't feel any better
But she also gets talking to a girl called Misty
It turns out Misty's actually a
huge fan of Zatanna's she loves Zatanna's book she even has Zatanna sign
her little book and Misty even says to Zatanna "can you give me magic lessons
think of me as like a sorcerer's apprentice" and Zatanna's like "no I'm
sorry I can't do magic anymore I can't teach you anything" but then Misty says
taxi appear backwards which is the same magic Zatanna has a taxi appears
And she
tells Zatanna she doesn't have to do magic anymore she'll do it for her
So the two go off but they quickly find out that they are being chased by Gwydion so
they find themselves going to San Francisco to fight this demon
Zatanna actually wants to be responsible and return Misty
to her mother because she's like you're a kid I can't like be dragging you
around while I'm being chased by a demon but Misty's like yeah I'm a runaway I
don't have a home to return to and then Zatanna just turns to her and
is like oh you ran away from home and ended up in a support group for heroes
with low self-esteem and Misty explains that she has this magical dice that lets her
use her magic and also showed her where to find Zatanna. This is also why Zatanna
was the only one that could actually see misty at the meeting which Zatanna is
like oh I didn't even realize that
They go to a magical weaponry store
which is owned by a woman called Cassandra Craft. If you need to fight a magical being
Cassandra Craft is the one to go to. But the door is locked so Misty casts a
spell to let them in and they lock the door behind them
And that's when Cassandra
Bursts out with a crossbow shouting "WHO'S THERE!?" and then she
realizes who's there and so she puts down the crossbow
And Cassandra is like
"oh my god I'm so sorry I thought you were the shapeless one" and Misty's like
"Nice store the immediate threat of violence is a great incentive to buy things"
So as they begin to talk turns out this demon that's stalking them is
indeed the demon that Zatanna set free, the man of her dreams,
The demon actually
went straight to San Francisco shortly after her friends were incinerated while
the demon does use the name Gwydion chances are that's just something it
uses to identify itself probably doesn't even have a name
To cut a long story short
they begin to talk about what magical artifacts they could use to fight the
shapeless one but they can't really send him back to where he came from so they
kind of just need to trap him somehow
And Cassandra has like this closet that
can trap any spirit inside of it and while they're talking we also find out
that a few nights ago a man came to Cassandra store asking after Zatanna
and she's like Zatanna's not here right now and the man's like tell her I came
back for the books and he leaves his hat behind, and this hat
looks near identical to the type of hat her father would have worn.
The two ladies continue to talk and plan and Misty gets bored being a teenage girl so
she opens up a copy of Zatanna's book and inside the book is the shapeless one
ready to attack
Zatanna attacks the book but the Demon has already moved on so
Cassandra grabs her cat grabs Misty and they go to leave the room
But that's what Misty's lik"e um if that's your cat whose cat is that!?"
naturally the
cat is the shapeless one so Zatanna and this demon begin to fight
Zatanna says "who sent you" and the demon says" I serve the new Supreme Architect of the
universe whose name is yet hidden" while the two are fighting Misty's on the
outside and she casts a spell to make their demon solid which turns it into
solid smoke
Zatanna then gathers up the demon and traps it in a magical mirror
which she then shatters with a crossbow causing the shards of the mirror to go
plunging into the closet that would trap any spirits inside of it
This gives it a
physical form forever so Zatanna
sticks it in a jar
literally it turns tiny and
she sticks in a jar
After this the phantom stranger comes in and tells
Zatanna that her work is not yet complete
So this is where I'm actually gonna
explain what seven soldiers is because going forward if you don't know what
seven soldiers is you're going to be very very confused
So in 2005 Grant
Morrison creates the story called the seven soldiers of victory which
basically takes seven independent threads and creates one massive story
out of them so you have like seven soldiers Frankenstein seven soldiers
Klarion the which boy, seven soldiers Zatanna, and several others
These characters have to fight a great evil independently and by working together
without even knowing they're working together they kind of have to save the
world at no point during the story do any of these characters meet
So there'll be massive parts in the story where you're like well what about this or what
about that why wasn't this addressed it'll probably be addressed in a
different characters story and seven soldiers so I'll have links so we can
get seven soldiers for yourself in the description down below and if you want
me to do or the seven soldier stories please let me know the comments because I'm
for sure during Zatanna and Klarion but if you guys want me to continue past
that point please let me know because I need your guys's input
Back in the story
we cut to a graveyard and there's a bus stopping there and out of the bus comes
a bunch of ghosts and one man refuses to get off and this man is the famed
magician Ali Ka-Zoom
We then see Zatanna and
Misty fighting a demon named a Tempter turns out Tempter has just used his
abilities to make a slimming group eat so much chocolate
they all died
Zatanna is like overall unimpressed by this guy he is a minor
demon struggling to find relevance in the modern world
And when he tries to
take Misty's innocence in exchange for power Misty just casts a spell so he'll
be forgotten and he'll go quietly which erases him from the mortal plane
after this the two girls are driving away and Misty's like so is this what
you do you just go around getting rid of demons fighting ghosts and you never get
any reward for it and Zatanna's like yeah that's what being hero is you never
get paid
As Zatanna's driving along there's suddenly a man in the middle of
the road and Zatanna tries slamming the brakes but it's too late
And the car goes straight through him because It's none other than the ghost of
Ali Ka-Zoom
So remember the cabinet closet thing they used to trap the demon in the
previous issue turns out that belongs to Ali Ka-Zoom
He wants to burn it
he talks briefly about his past and all of this is very vague but he says there
used to be seven of them and a dog and then one takes them to this mansion and
one of his old friends you know this looks like a mob mansion but by the time
of their half the mansion is dead but there's even a dead body of a giant
insect and Misty begins to cry when she sees it and Zatanna is kind of like
don't touch it you don't know where it's been And Misty is like but I do know where it's
been it's been from the beginning of time to the end of reality and back
again and it will never get the chance to do all of that again
Ali Ka-Zoom then
points out that Horsefeathers, which is like this
flying horse in the DC universe, is being attacked in the garden by these like elf
fairy people
Misty tells these attackers to stop she doesn't say it backwards and
they do as she says
This confuses the hell out of Zatanna and then the horse
starts talking meanwhile the fairies are doing like circles around Misty's head
like a halo
Misty cast a spell so everyone can understand the horse and he
basically says that Vincenzo Ali's friend who's now dead showed him
kindness and he was killed by the celestial Huntsman and now the horse has
to go find a man named Justin he new knight as war is upon the world
And Zatanna's like yep I'm confused this is bigger than us misty let's go
Ali Ka-Zoom
decides that now that his friend is dead it's time for him to move on there's
nothing left for him on this plane of existence
But before he goes the two
girls learn of this magical cauldron that's inside of the mansion that they
need to retrieve so they go in there
And Misty's like look Zatanna if this is
bigger than you shouldn't you call in the Justice League for help
and at this point in time identity crisis just happened where's Zatanna basically
wiped Batman's memory partially so Zatanna's like look I did things
superheros shouldn't do the Justice League aren't exactly my biggest fans
right now
When they enter the mansion there's this celestial demon there and
he is called Nebuloh and Zatanna is like get out of here Misty
And Misty's Like
no I know him
And he calls her princess
Turns out that wherever misty came from
she was told to be taken into the woods by this celestial Huntsman and have her
brain cut out because the Queen had no need for a princess because she was
going to be immortal but the Huntsman couldn't bring himself to kill her
but the reason misty couldn't remember any of this till just now was because
before she was taken into the woods she was forced to spin a cobweb dress and
the more she spun the less she could remember
The reason the Huntsman is
after this cauldron is because it actually belongs to the Evil Queen
Gloriana the Queen wants Misty killed
And this queen is the queen of the
Sheeda, the beings that take over humanity billions of years in the future
humanity and the Sheeda cannot exist at the same time
This cauldron will restore Queen Glorianna to her full vitality and once she's
restored the harrowing of humanity will begin basically this is the point in
time where humanity is going to be wiped out and the Sheeda will begin their
slow rise much earlier than they're supposed to
The Huntsman then says he no
longer sees Beauty when he looks at Misty he only sees guilt
his failure to carry out his duties so they must run before
he kills her
But Misty's like if Gloriana gets the cauldron she'll live
forever but then Zatanna just wants the two of them to live so she tells Misty
to cast a spell to make the horse appear so they can fly away she ends up casting
it herself revealing that her own magic is back they end up flying away and
Zatanna is like you have some serious explaining to do young lady
We're then at Zatanna's house and she's feeling powerful again so she's getting
ready to fight and she's doing what she always does before a fight
puts on her performance clothes
It's revealed that for some reason misty has to go to Tibet
because that's where the city of Gorias is and it's the only place
Misty is going to be safe meanwhile Zatanna is off to fight the seven
unknown men
It's somewhat implied that if Zatanna fights them or at least finds
them Misty and the entire world will be safe
They end up going to this swamp and
there's like nothing but this abandoned Hut there but as a Tana is quick to feel
the energies here aren't quite right there's something very sinister about
this place
So she sends Misty away but before misty goes Zatanna tells her
I don't think I ever lost my powers I lost faith in myself and this week you
helped me remember who I am
And the two of them Hug knowing that they've
changed each other's lives forever in a very very short period of time
Once misty flies away with Horsefeathers A light flashes behind her and from this
light a man who looks a lot like her father appears and Zatanna initially
thinks it is her father
But this man is Zachary Zor, now has both magical
and reality manipulation he's incredibly powerful Zatanna is basically the only
living being that could fight Zor
And it's actually because of Zor that
one day in DC's future humanity will be replaced by the Sheeda
Zor tries to
brainwash Zatanna so she believes she would be his evil daughter Zorina
But Zatanna casts a spell "restore Zatanna to annoy daddy"
so now Zatanna is back to herself and is at full power
but the problem is Zor can change his form but so can Zatanna because she has a
demon that can change its form at Will
she opens the jar containing the demon
casts the spell "become what Zor becomes and be my will in battle" and the two
enter full-on magical battle
But you see true magical battles don't take place in
the physical plane they take place in a realm where the outside meets the inside
a place where belief is the most deadly weapon you can use
Zor starts off by
growing bigger and earth saying Zatanna was only playing at being a super hero
and saying her father would be ashamed of what she is and he throws the Justice
League satellite at her but Zatanna is able to do the exact same thing in
this place so the two of them just keep growing and bending reality until
eventually Zatanna is hit
She sees time itself shatter from a strange angle and
Zor jumping ahead in time tearing apart reality around him
So Zatanna has to do
a blind faith jump through reality itself and lands in Zor's future and
she tears apart his own magical reality and when she comes to she's wringing his
neck in the water of the swamp but keep in mind that Zatanna is still in tune with
the fabric of reality at this point and she says she hears voices coming from
the east of nowhere she knows she has to get to the shack before Zor recovers
because Zor will recover, he is a magical being
So she gets to the shack
and she says whatever you are please help me and she looks up and she sees
the seven unknown men the seven unknown men are the fabricators of the DC
Universe those that are in charge and they all look identical to the writer of
this comic Grant Morrison
And these men are all commenting on how they've never
seen a character do this before and how Zatanna is just something else
Zatanna ends up being taken to this dimensional lock with Zor
They actually
thank her for fighting Zor and they explained that Zor was actually a
renegade one of the unknown men
So let's put this in context Zatanna was able to
hold her own in a fight with one of the writers of
the DC Universe
These men explain their job to Zatanna they basically say they
are time tailors they patch and sew reality to expand it and make sure it
doesn't fall apart
what Zor was trying to do was bring in the Sheeda far
earlier in time than they were supposed to be brought in which would destroy the
fabric of reality itself
To combat this these seven unknown men sets seven
hidden soldiers in motion which Zatanna is one of
These men say because you were
able to fight Zor you can have a reward
And naturally Zatanna initially
thinks that she wants her father's books but she doesn't understand the books
when she gets them and then these men are just like why don't you just ask
your father himself
And that's when Zatanna gets to see her dad again and he
tells her she is the four books she is the spell he created to combat evil to
stop evil coming forward she is his greatest spell and his gift to the world
and she hugs him and tells him she misses him and he tells her that he
lives on In Her
The next things Zatanna's back at the support group just
having a one-on-one session with the person that runs the group and she's
like I don't know if any of that actually happened I don't know if Misty
even exists I just know what I felt
And as she leaves the group she casts a
spell saying I need a new adventure
and that's when Misty turns up with an army
of Horsefeathers and she's like my stepmother is about to invade earth and
I need help I thought of you and that's where the story ends
Obviously we'll see
how this concludes for real when we cover seven soldiers zero and seven
soldiers one
This was so much fun for me to cover because I love this type of
storytelling you know where it sort of starts out pretty typical you know you
have the flashback you have the conflict but then it gets gradually weirder and
then its climax is just bizarre and meta and I just I love this story so much I
love seven soldiers as a whole but seven soldiers Klarion
And seven soldiers
Zatanna are my two highlights which is why I'm
starting on these two
This comic just doesn't make sense if you read it as an
Normal comic but if you go into it kind of knowing about mysticism it's like oh
this is smart that this is this is on a different level
I feel like this is how
Zatanna should be written she has reality manipulation abilities
let's have her having meta adventures through reality itself that makes sense
to do that's kind of obvious and especially because this story sort of
gets into how reality itself is just a form of performance so that makes sense
for Zatanna star in that because ultimately she's the performer superhero
as for Misty she has not been used since seven soldiers which kind of makes sense
she's one of the Sheeda, the Sheeda can only exist in times where stories
revolve around the Sheeda just due to their nature but I really want Misty to
come back
If they have to change her origin to fit in with current DC
continuity I don't care I really like her character I like the idea that she's
like this weird future sci-fi fantasy fairy queen like I love it so much and I
really just want Misty back like I would do a lot just to have her back
bring misty back 2k-19 okay guys that is it for today so what did you think of
[ITS SUPER EFFECTIVE]
