Seven Soldiers: Zatanna #2

In *Seven Soldiers: Zatanna* #2 (DC Comics, August 2005, published June 1, 2005), Zatanna and her apprentice Misty Kilgore travel to San Francisco to meet Cassandra Craft, a magical artifact seller, to combat the shapeshifting demon Gwydion. Written by Grant Morrison with art by Ryan Sook and Mick Gray, the issue sees Zatanna, temporarily powerless, using artifacts like the Cabinet of Ali-Ka-Zoom and a magic mirror to trap Gwydion, who serves a dark master. A mysterious man’s hat and the Phantom Stranger’s visit hint at deeper conspiracies, blending mystical action with Zatanna’s mentorship of Misty.
