Zatanna 4: Morrison Does the Unthinkable, Improves Fishnets
I think you can tell from Brian Bolland's image gallery that I love Zatanna's fishnet stockings. It's one of the sexiest costumes ever made. It's not even a real superhero costume, just a stage outfit. I hated the "superhero" costume that someone designed for Zatanna's JLA stint in the 70s. I always thought her original costume was a classic and could never be improved in any way. Grant Morrision proves me wrong with this new outfit in Zatanna #4. Click on the image to expand. Great design. The fishnets cover her upper body, leaving her legs exposed. The story is really good, too, even though I only understand about two thirds of it. Are those the agents from the Matrix at the end? If you remember Zatanna's father, you will really want to read this one. Nuff said.
Comments
Oh, wow, yay. I never liked Zatanna because her costume seemed too classic to me, too much if a stage dress, and I didn't like the net stockings.
She looked like a relic left over from some old reality. So, I disagree with you about her costume. I don't know her 70s superhero costume, so I can't tell if I like it, but I damn well like the new costume, too. Time to grab... no, not Zatanna herself, just the comics, and take a look at it. :) Thanks for the hint.
