Zero takes what could be a genericBourne Identity knock-offstory and adds just enough sci-fi and future elements to feel competely novel. Ales Kot and Vanesa Del Rey team up well to create an issue that both tense and dramatic. One last particularly interesting element is Kot's insertion of recorded transcripts of text documenting military observations of the events that just took place in the issue. While not essential, it's a subtle touch that creates the sense that Zero's world is a living breathing place with it's own history. While admittedly not garnering the same amount of buzz as writers like Brian K. Vaughn or Mark Millar, we predict within a few short years fans will be clamoring for a copy of whatever Ales Kot's name appears on for any book.
