Shocking News: Ed Brubaker Can't Read!!!
...well, at least not unflipped manga, that is.
Paul Pope, on the other hand, can not only read unflipped manga, he can also write backwards. So I'm guessing he'd be a natural choice if DC ever decides to launch a Zatanna revival.
(As for Cat Eyed Boy, I'd argue that you don't even have to be able to read it to get plenty of enjoyment from it. As I said yesterday, I haven't actually read the books yet, but just flipping through the two volumes I found enough awesomely grotesque images to make my purchase worthwhile. A day later and I'm still disturbed by several images gleaned from a quick flip-through of volume two's short story "The Promise" that I can't get out of my head.)
