The Absolute Universe at DC Comics has been going strong for a year at this point, with no end in sight for books like Absolute Batman. And luckily, the future for Absolute Wonder Woman is about to get even more witchy with a spotlight of a fan-favorite Justice League character in issue #16 out in January. Steel yourselves, friends, because Absolute Zatanna is coming our way!
Absolute Wonder Woman #16 will showcase the Absolute Universe's version of Zatanna, one of the most powerful (and fashionable!) magic users in the DC Universe. The issue goes on sale on January 28, 2026, and the solicit is as follows: “The Season of the Witch arc begins here! After her exploits in the Area 41 maze, Diana has resolved to not let her personal mission overwhelm the one she was sent to the surface world to fulfill. But a new threat has emerged in Gateway City, and it turns out the best thing to send to kill Wonder Woman is…another witch! Zatanna is here, and Diana’s life will never be the same!”

Hayden Sherman will also be drawing the interior art for Absolute Wonder Woman #16. Variant covers will be drawn by Derrick Chew, Guillem March, Yasmine Putri, and Angela Wu. I'll admit that I initially thought that Absolute Zatanna was Absolute Black Alice at first, because of her short hair and generally edgy demeanor, but I'll never say no to Zatanna appearing in any book. This is absolutely a fierce look for Zatanna, and I can't wait to see what the dynamic is between her and Diana.
Absolute Wonder Woman #16 will go on sale in comic shops on January 28, 2026.
An earlier version of this story wrote that Absolute Zatanna would debut in the issue; the character first appeared in Absolute Wonder Woman #12.
