Despite Zatanna’s willful determination to avoid Real Magic at all costs, a terrifying showdown with the interdimensional demon that interrupted her stage show reveals that she might not have run as far from the world of sorcery as she once hoped. Now a mysterious group of magic casters emerges from the shadows to accuse her of wielding great and terrible power against one of their own—her late father and greatest shame, Giovanni Zatara!

Writer: Barbara Benas Artist: Barbara Benas Publisher: Silver Sprocket Press Cover Price: $9.99 Release Date: July 31, 2024 A story that's 1 part recipe blog, 1 part comic book, with a dash of sardonic humor, a dollop of existential dread, and a pinch of gig economy camaraderie! Suzette is an over-kneaded and over-proofed pastry chef, running a cooking blog and doing her best to share whatever culinary wisdom she's managed to scrape from the city's top kitchens. Her latest post introduces "interview tiramisu," a dessert so good it'll land her a juicy new job opportunity. Yet as she runs all over town acquiring the very best ingredients, why does she get the creeping feeling that everything's about to go really, really wrong? Published with a cardstock cover and foil accents. [rating: 4.5/5] DISCUSSION BIRDS OF PREY: FIGHTERS BY TRADE Writer: Gail Simone Artist: Joe Bennett Publisher: DC Comics Cover Price: $24.99 The Birds of Prey face off against mysterious viruses…and maybe even find themselves the prey. When Huntress goes AWOL and a techno-virus invades Oracle’s body, Black Canary will have to team up with Wildcat as they fight for their lives in Singapore… These Birds will have to work with members of the Bat-Family while battling legendary assassins and fighting off attacks from inside themselves!
