Picking up where the first issue left off, Zatanna: Bring Down the House #2 opens with the disaster of Zatanna's magic show interrupted by both a demon and an unannounced stranger attempting to fight it off. Having sworn off actual magic, Zatanna isn't much use in the fight but after its over she does go with the stranger to The Palace of the Casters (a magic cult which, despite its odd surroundings, appears to be conveniently also located in Las Vegas) who offer blame but no answers to the current crisis.
We don't get much in the way of explanation as to what's currently going on, but we do get more flashbacks to Zatanna's past which the Casters harp on a bit (blaming her for the death of her father). There's some good action, some solid back-and-forth traded barbs, and a tease at the end that other magical people are also interested in Zatanna. As to direct answers, or an explanation of what is going on, it appears that will have to wait for at least another issue.
