Zatanna and The Son of Satan

 

I featured this pairing as a back up story recently in STF #5115, and I felt they were worthy of their own full issue.  There has been rumors that Fallout's  Ella Purnell has been in auditions to join the DCU.  Original Speculation was for Maxima, but what if she's actually in the running to play Zatanna?  I think she'd be a fit for the role.

With her natural red hair, she'd definitely be a shoe-in for Maxima. But, as Zatanna? I don't know. She strikes me more as the anti-heroine type. In that regard, she might fit better in the MCU. Perhaps as Rita DeMara...aka Yellowjacket II. ;-)

As for this feature-length sequel to the hypothetical back-up tale? Undeniably unexpected. But, most assuredly, not unappreciated. Especially the re-creation of Zee's Early Silver Age look! :-)

She has Z's personality....

I just did an image search of Ms. Purnell and I am now in full support of this casting decision for this particular role.

..... especially if she shows up in fishnet hosiery! 😉

"What dreadful boon did Neron promise Hot Stuff, the Li'l Devil, that required him to murder... THE SON OF SATAN?"

Probably something involving diapers.

I remember reading on the Internet about a fanzine called Back Issues that did an article for April Fool's Day about a fictional merger between Marvel and Harvey Comics resulting in...Marvey Comics!

There was also an accompanying illustration featuring a new Avengers line-up that included Wendy as the Scarlet Witch, Stumbo as Giant Man, and Hot Stuff as an apparent cross between Daredevil and the Red Hulk.

Ah, yes! That would be "Marvey" Earth-41119, I believe.
