Written by Vita Ayala and illustrated by Nikola Čižmešija, "Batman & Zatanna" is "a story that will change Batman and Zatanna's relationship forever. Every year the two have to come together to defeat an evil curse. This year they fail, and the world is in peril because of it."

Meanwhile, "Hounded" comes from the team of writer Mark Russell and artist Mostert. "Ace the Bat-Hound, the goodest boy in the DCU, has his day in an epic story featuring many DC Super Pets," DC explains.
