"Zero" is far from lacking in ideas. Here, Edward's latest assignment is infiltrating "a Kickstarter for terrorists;" something that would have consisted of the main premise for another book is the background to Kot's story here. The way "Zero" works, with its nonlinear structure, prevents it from giving formal introductions to many characters and as such they're only presented in the moment of what they're doing. Even with no proper "dramatic entrances," Kot's writing manages to make each character memorable; even if only through the short phrases offered to describe each character in the inside of the book.

Zero, Volume 1 'An Emergency' his shelves this February, however I strongly recommend you chase your local retailer for the issues. Failing that, go digital. Great comics, such as this, are few and far between, so why wait? It's simply genius, by Image Comics, my publisher of the year. Read Full Review

Kot's story is largely just action, but he does pepper it with enough human interest -- namely, the relationship between Edward and Mina -- so that the ending hits you like a silenced 9mm handgun. Definitely a striking read. Read Full Review

This issue had a few other twists and reveals that I wouldn't want to spoil for anyone but this was by far the most exciting and perplexing issue of ZERO yet. This series so far has been really fun to follow, having read Kot's previous creator-owned work, you know things are never as simple as they may appear. While it's been fun to watch all these small shots of Edward Zero's life, it'll be interesting to see how this series may end or at least how it will circle around and address the kid with a gun pointed to the back of an elderly Zero's head from the first page of the very first issue that sparked these flashbacks to begin with.
