May 29, 2026The magic continues in Zatanna #2, and that’s one hell of a cliffhanger. The artwork is the strongest point of all, but the story’s no slouch, either, and I’m riveted. Read Full Review

KPB Comics - Phillip Creary
May 27, 2026Following up on the perfection of the previous miniseries and the stellar launch of issue #1, Zatanna #2 is another absolute knockout. I thought the plague spirit was going to be a quick one-and-done crisis, but giving him this much depth is a testament to Campbell’s incredible vision for what Zatanna means to the DC magical universe. I can’t wait to see what he pulls out of his bag of tricks next! Read Full Review

Comic Book Clique - Frank Jarome
May 29, 2026Call it Magic, Call it True Zatanna #2 is another fantastic issue that delivers in not just magical spectacle, but also in character work and world-building. The Plague Spirit from last issue turns out to be more important than originally thought, and Zatanna soon finds herself in over her head. Agent Di Manes is an intriguing foil for the Prime Magus, and the cliffhanger at the end of this issue promises one doozy of a finale to the story arc. Read Full Review

Not as interesting as the first issue imo. But my god is the art so beautiful that it doesn’t even matter.

It's still good, but not as good as I would like with Campbell drawing the whole thing. His art continues to be far and away the strongest aspect of this book, with the writing still lacking a bit. Again, I don't think it's bad whatsoever. It's just, like, an extra level of visible/apparent when the art is so good. Though, even if the story isn't my favorite, at least I'll get nice drawing to look at.
