Mystik U

Hitting the books takes on a whole new meaning when a teenage Zatanna Zatara enrolls at Mystik University--an otherworldly academy that promises to teach its young charges how to master their unique and often dangerous magical abilities.

Under the leadership of Dr. Rose Psychic (and her body-sharing husband, Dr. Occult), Zatanna and her fellow students--including Davit Sargon, June "Enchantress" Moone and brooding bad boy Sebastian Faust--begin to learn the secrets of harnessing and directing their powers. But these introductory lessons may not be enough to save them from the deadly force known as the Malevolence, whose triumph in the not-too-distant future Dr. Psychic has already foreseen.

For Zatanna, however, this dark prophecy is overshadowed by more immediate concerns--among them, the obsessive attentions of the queen-bee Thriae Society, the cold-blooded calculations of Mr. E and what really happened when she first manifested her backwards-speaking magic and sent her father to lleH!

The classic magicians of the DC Universe are reimagined for a new era in Mystik U, collecting the three-issue miniseries from critically acclaimed novelist Alisa Kwitney (Cadaver & Queen, Does She or Doesn't She?) and fan-favorite artist Mike Norton (Revival, Runaways). Collects Mystik U #1-3.

Alisa Kwitney is fairly new to writing in the comics industry, but has experience from her time as an editor for Vertigo Comics. She is known for her Eisner Award nomination for Best Limited Series on DESTINY: A CHRONICLE OF DEATHS FORETOLD, as well as her contributions to BATMAN: NO MAN'S LAND and THE SANDMAN: KING OF DREAMS.
Kwitney lives in an old farmhouse two hours from Manhattan with her husband and two children.
