In Justice League Darkish #21 by James Tynion IV, Ram V, Alvaro Martinez Bueno, Raul Fernandez, June Chung, and Rob Leigh, Zatanna and Constantine are trying to find Abigail Arcane. They break into an deserted sanitarium and soar into the center of the rot to search out her. As Constantine licks an ayahuasca vine normally utilized by Urarina Shamans for divining and projecting, a bunch of horrible, mutated rot monsters assaults Zatanna. As Constantine bails so as to dig deeper into the rot (whereas considerably hallucinating) the magician will get artistic along with her spells, calling out the lyrics to Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody to solid of a spell of “very, very horrifying, thunderbolt and lightning.”
Utilizing the lyrics from Bohemian Rhapsody to hit the rot monsters with highly effective thunderbolts and lightning is extraordinarily badass. You need to marvel how lengthy Zatanna has been ready to make use of that spell – as a result of on this case, it was completely executed. Martinez Beuno, Fernandez and Chung completely nail the artwork, as Zatanna strikes a Freddy Mercury pose (from the enduring music video) as lightning comes from her fingers. In the meantime, Zatanna strikes one other notorious Mercury pose after calling for the thunderbolts and lightning as she places one hand up within the air because the rot monsters are consumed by the spell.
It is a enjoyable, surprising second that fully works. Who would not wish to sing alongside to Bohemian Rhapsody whereas casting literal spells of thunder and lightning? Zatanna channeled her inner-Freddy Mercury and took out the rot in essentially the most rockstar means possible. It is a supremely rad second. Hopefully, Zatanna continues with the Queen-themed spells. What’s subsequent? We Will Rock You? I Wish to Break Free? Killer Queen? Below Stress? The chances are infinite.
