An oft-repeated truism of superhero comics is creators can summon any idea, no matter how magical, to the page. The limits of that wonder are imposed not by budget but skill and imagination. Artist Javier Rodríguez's skill has been revered for decades and Zatanna : Bring Down the House #1 makes clear his imagination is unrivaled in a stunning debut with writer Mariko Tamaki .
That story is filled with familiar hallmarks of Zatanna canon and a potent collection of themes. Zatanna's blend of skill and self-doubt, projected confidence undermined by unaddressed trauma, and mysteries swirling about her past all serve to craft an enticing and sympathetic narrative. This should be no surprise for readers of Tamaki's rich and varied comics work, which often emphasize the formative experiences of young women across many genres and styles.
Both eras fluctuate between a more direct style of storytelling featuring Rodríguez's characteristically dense but varied layouts and moments when magic enters the page. Both as a child and adult, Zatanna performs mundane stage magic and encounters terrifying sources of otherworldly power. The former is largely delivered in gridded panels, while the latter often eschews standard panel borders and gutters altogether.
