McCarthy’s inks are also put to good use, particularly in the “moon” scenes between Diana and Witchfire, where shadow and light factor in heavily. Lupacchino’s pencils are strong this issue, and that’s saying something, given the large amount of characters and action she has to jam onto each page.
WITCHFIRE DC FULL
If only Tynion could write a team-up book starring these two full time, DC would really have something. They even have a quiet moment for some decent character development, where Zatanna has to remind Constantine of who he is and what he does.
They’re always an entertaining team, but Tynion makes great use of their unique chemistry, and plays to their strengths as masters of misdirection and skilled exorcists. It’s just odd that one of her own book’s chapters would make her out to be so frustratingly powerless and out of character.Īs stated above, the magic community gets to shine in this issue, but the real standout heroes were Constantine and Zatanna. It’s a pretty disappointing show of character for Diana, especially in her own book, but it’s probably safe to assume she’ll end up being the hero of this story, eventually. That wouldn’t be so bad if she were working on some way to get back in control of her body, but she mostly just comes to the conclusion that she is helpless, and then, somehow, things get worse. She spends the entirety of this chapter stuck in Hecate’s metaphorical moon dimension, talking to the recently-dead Witchfire, while her body goes berserk on Earth.
Unfortunately, Wonder Woman herself doesn’t have much to do this issue. This story is worth reading just for nostalgia alone.
Tynion makes great use of forgotten DC cast members, such as Witchfire, Manitou Dawn, Black Orchid, and Traci 13 to weave a fun story that gives everybody something important to do while showing you what some of your old favorites have been up to. If you’re a longtime fan of DC, particularly their magic-based characters, it’s pretty hard not to like this story.
