Hayden Sherman's Designs for Absolute Zatanna in Absolute Wonder Woman

Hayden Sherman's Designs for Absolute Zatanna in Absolute Wonder Woman

She was seen at the end of Absolute Wonder Woman #12 as a government asset planned to be used as the Absolute Wonder Woman. She'll be coming back in Absolute Wonder Woman #14 and will then appear in #6 to launch the new storyline, The Season Of The Witch. And Kelly Thompson has shared Hayden Sherman's designs for Absolute Zatanna on her Substack. Just as Nick Dragotta designed the form of the Absolute Joker, even though Jock would draw the issue in which he first appeared, so Hayden Sherman designed Absolute Zatanna, even though #14 was drawn by Matias Bergara.

Kelly Thompson says, "Zee was tricky for a lot of reasons — including that Hayden wasn't going to get to be the first one to draw her IN COSTUME in the story. So Hayden had to both think of her eventual "Zatanna Costume" and also what she would look like while trapped inside Cale's Area 41 Prison. As usual, Hayden pulls it off brilliantly." And we also got Sherman's design for Wonder Woman, Hecate, Hades and Persephone. You can find the thinking behind them here.
