    Muddled

    This issue has one of the most misleading covers that I have seen. The story within contains the end of the drawn out story of Zatanna searching for her father, and the manner in which is plays out is pretty bizarre. With solo efforts thus far involving Hawkman, the Elongated Man, the Atom, Green Lantern and (retroactively) Batman, this may end up being the worst of the stories. The setup is not bad, at least once past the first few pages, as Zatanna goes to find an enchanted sword. An entity trapped within takes her to a magical dimension, where she summons magical replicas of the aforementioned Justice Leaguers. What follows are some non-sensical plot turns, and the villainess of the story ends up being beaten in short order. This sub-story that had run through DC Comics since a few years ends up being somewhat muddled, and it could have ended better. It is strange as well that Zatanna ends up as such a regular in the Justice League of America but that her introduction was in this issue. Probably only interesting for those looking for a bit of comic book history, and not much else.
