review 1: This good, old-school, super-hero team-up features fellow Justice League members Black Canary, a martial artist with a sonic scream, and Zatanna, a stage magician who wields real magic. Both are known in part for their fishnet stockings. Paul Dini reveals how the two women met as teens, who Black Canary helped Zatanna join the Justice League, and see the two team-up to solve a sorcerous crime. With all that has gone on with DC Comics' New 52, it's refreshing and a surprising relief to read an original graphic novel that takes place pre-52... in my efforts to give the comics company a chance with their line-wide reboot of a few years ago, I sometimes don't realize who much less I enjoy their comics nowadays. Dini captures the personalities of the two women in their heyday... more, and the two work surprisingly well together despite their very different power sets and crime-fighting realms. This one is a fun read for long-time comic fans.
review 2: Team Fishnets is light-hearted fun. Canary and Zatanna banter delightfully throughout the story. The mission isn't one of those the-world-is-ending ones. It's feelings like something to keep them busy while they have some fun together - and I don't mind that at all. The flashback to when they first meet is nice, and I like seeing how their relationship carried on as they grew. "Bloodspell" isn't anything that'll blow your mind, but it's a good read for someone who likes the characters and wants to see them interact. [3.5 Stars](Is it just me, or does Canary look like Elisha Cuthbert? Zatanna looks like someone else too, but I can't pinpoint who...) less
