Zatanna: Bring Down the House is a new Black Label graphic novel written by DC's graphic novelist of choice Mariko Tamaki, drawn by artist Javier Rodríguez, out for June this year. And it's only for grown-ups.

"In this DC Black Label series (17+), Zatanna Zatara is the greatest entertainer in the worst hotel and casino off the Las Vegas strip. The ritzier hotels would love to have her as a headliner, but since a devastating instance of magic gone wrong changed the course of her childhood, Zatanna would much rather rock her trademark top hat and fishnets as a sleight-of-hand stage act than bother with real magic. "I couldn't be more thrilled to be working with this team, and having the opportunity to tell a story that spotlights Zatanna," said Tamaki. "We're very excited for people to see this weird little story we've whipped up for their reading pleasure."

"But Zatanna will have to take herself and her magical abilities seriously when an interdimensional vortex cracks open the very stage she performs on, releasing a terrifying demon bent on killing her. And if Zatanna hopes to escape with her life, she'll have to face the even more terrifying consequences of her past. "I encourage readers to join us on this journey in search of magic," said artist Rodríguez. "There is nothing more fun than working on a character like Zatanna who, issue after issue, invites you to explore every nook and cranny of the language of comics."
