Batman: Full Moon marks a horrifying turn for the Dark Knight ahead of Halloween. Per the official synopsis for the series by DC Comics, "An ancient and supernatural force stalks the streets of Gotham City — a Lycan so powerful it'll defy Batman's most trusted resources: his brilliant mind and extensive gadgetry. But are Batman's physical strength and resilience alone enough to put the creature down for good? Or will this fight strip him down to his very bones? Even powerful magical allies like Zatanna caution that Bruce might not walk away from this one unscathed... Eisner-nominated writer Rodney Barnes (KILLADELPHIA) and breakout artist Stevan Subic (THE RIDDLER: YEAR ONE) tear into a horrific tale of pain and redemption as Batman meets his match: the werewolf of Gotham City! Each issue of this series will boast striking glow-in-the-dark main covers!"
First seen in the pages of 1964's Hawkman #4, by writer Gardner Fox and artist Murphy Anderson, Zatanna Zatara is one of the greatest magic users in the DC Universe. The daughter of fellow magician Giovanni Zatara, Zatanna's legacy as both the original Zatara's heir and as a member of the Homo Magi offshoot of humanity have found her at the heart of numerous storylines over the years. Zatanna is currently starring in her own DC Black Label series, Zatanna: Bring Down the House, from writer Mariko Tamaki and artist Javier Rodríguez.
