Going into this first issue blind is, Ill admit, unfair, but I was nonetheless left unimpressed. I was pretty confused and found the framing of the narrative to be very jumpy and immediate. A lot happens and Im still not exactly sure why or how. Like most buddy-cop plots, the conflict is resolved way too quickly and the peril to the community isnt detailed enough to leave the readers conce

At the end of the day, the most interesting part of this book, to me, was that Campbell apparently transitioned at some point in the production process when it was too late for them to change her name on the variant covers. I don't know if it's disrespectful or if it's intentional or what, but it's the thing that made me think the most about this comic. This book may be for you. It is certainly not for me.

Issue #5 is pretty much all action, which explains how short it feels when you get to the final few frames. With that said, again, as a transitional chapter, its fierceness and brevity add to the anticipation. Answers will come soon. They just gotta

The artwork by Jock is exceptional. If youre reading this review and saying to yourself what was this guy expecting? Ill answer by saying darkness. Im surprised to see the amount of color used in a witch or witch-y themed comic. And I say th

The concerns I raised in my last review are still bouncing around my mind as I flip through issue #2. In addition, with the encounter with the wytches themselves in the flesh, things are also progressing a little quickly for my tastes. I wish there was more atmospheric tension. Given the above mentioned relationship between classic witches and community, my hope is that Snyder explores this more in upcoming issues. It's touched upon a little with her classmate interactions, but I would love to see something more built between Sailor and her new town after fleeing from the previous one due to Annie's disappearance.

The key word being possibility. It helps having an artist like Tocchini bring these sentiments to life in the panels of Low. The designs hes come up with, from the underwater vessels to the gear and attire of the characters, are just brilliant. Not to mention the vast array of sea creatures we are shown in this issue. With that said, Ill end with this:

In the back matter "Lowdown", Remender writes that they have a 60-issue story arc planned should things continue to go well for the series. This makes me very, very happy.

Jordan's dynamic storytelling and character development continues to be exemplified through the narration of grown-up Hope and No's minimal responses. Although, this issue, we do begin to see No open up slightly which ends up just adding to his mysterious nature. Every character that Jordan has created in "Spread" has clever creative restrictions placed on them and it fosters a yearning for more " to the series' advantage. I really don't know where Jordan's taking us with this one, but I feel like I'm right there with No, Molly, and Hope. October and issue #4 can't come soon enough.

There's heaps of violent anticipation thrown our way in this issue. Looking forward to what bloody mess Jordan has in store for us next time.

13 issues in and whats most evident is how much of a master Kot is through his narrative direction. Along with his team of artists, he has managed to create stunning levels of intrigue, grit, and emotion throughout the series. This issue is just one of many which creates a remarkable cinematic flow through its panel progression, often with minimal-to-no expository text. Pontecellis work is tireless you can practically here the blood vessels break and the bones shatter during the fight-scene in the latter part of the issue. My only hope is that issue #14 picks up right away again. I need to know.

You know what, Im just going to be fully honest with this one: Im tired of waiting for these issues of ZERO to come out. Then when they do come out, I get tired of writing reviews for them. Im tired of trying to convince you jokers to start reading this incredibly fascinating series. Im tired of trying to think of new ways to explain how blown awa
