I jumped on this book when JMS made his way off Thor and out of Marvel. I wanted to experience what he could do with odd team up of DC heroes. I have to say that I have enjoyed most of what he has done and this issue is one of the top 3 so far. The concept of Zatanna having a premonitory dream that leads to a great night out on the town for this wonderful trinity of DC heroines. It had some fun moments like a poor guy having his phone crushed but I guess he could have lost a piece of his manhood. And just the general fun and light dancing night on the town. As we know the shoe is going to drop and it will hit one of them pretty hard. She'll bounce back and become something even better. But it was nice to see how the night before was spent. Great Job JMS.
The art here was supplied by the fantastic Cliff Chiang! Great job replacing Jesus Saiz who has supplied some great visuals for JMS' stories up to this point.
So in issue 33 of The Brave and the Bold, Wonder Woman, Zatanna, and Barbara Gordon decide to have a night out on the town. Zatanna wants this to be a very special night. The ladies tear up the town, hitting every night club that comes their way. As the night ends Barbara decides to go home. We find out that Zatanna had a premonition that something terrible would happen to Barbara. At the end we see the premonition was Barbara getting shot by the Joker at her apartment, which is The Killing Joke...
So Brave and the Bold isnt a book i get monthly, but after reading this issue, i have to say i'm adding it to my list. This book, written by Straczynksi and amazing art by Chang, left me in awe and almost in tears. It begins with Zatana having a seemingly meaningless nightmare but it turns out to be something more. This leads to a Ladies Night Out (get it, haha) with Wonder Woman and Batgirl. Now, when u first read ths book, you'll probably be wondering, whats the point? Well, as this issue ...
