If they want a standout "look" for their book they not only have to go to the true professionals, but they have to give more overt credit to designers, which hopefully will trickle down into fan awareness. When the Image series Zero launched recently, I saw that there were nine variant covers for the first issue,[...]

Except that these orgasmic time stoppers commit the crime. Either way, it's not Hawkeye. Another Image launch this week, Rat Queens #1, has also sold out its first print run of 25,000, just ahead of last week's sellout of Zero #1 of 24,000 Second prints all round… Sex Criminals #1 by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky has[...]

Ales was my first guest way back on Episode 3 and we've had him on the show twice since then, so it's always a pleasure to have him back. This time around we discuss drugs in comics, what he's been up to since we last spoke, the changeover from DC to Marvel, what people can expect[...]

I'm writing live from my local comic shop Conquest Comics today, and while Villains Month continues for DC, it's a big week for Dark Horse (might even call it a big month), but also a strong week for Image and we have the new book by Neil Gaiman and Skottie Young today, too, Fortunately, the[...]

I wonder why? Anyone for Sushi? Or do you have anything you'd prefer to eat? Have you got any ketchup with that, Zero #1? Seriously, there's just too much cannibalism in comics right now. I hope you weren't being literal there, Jacques Peter Panzerfaust can cope with many things but please don;t let it join the cannibal[...]

A perfect comic from cover/inside cover to back inside cover/back cover Every issue is a single story mission with a different artist, all building a cumulative story[...]

Adi Tantmedh writes; This week sees the first issue of ZERO from Image Comics, the new spy series by enfant terrible Ales Kot. Edward Zero is a kind of all-purpose operative who's sent in for surgical strikes, for when things get messy He's a death machine trained from childhood to handle any situation, and with that comes[...]

Admittedly he was on the book for about 11 seconds, but, leave it Jake, it's DC. He's just been confirmed as co-writing Secret Avengers and, next week, steps out into the espionage end of the pool again with Zero Issue 1 And it's brilliant Here's why; 1 This is an espionage comic book I am a mark for[...]

Last October during NYCC, we learned that Ales Kot has a series called Zero planned for Image Comics, for May this year. Which is now But t is coming, honesr. It's out in September instead Drawn by Michael Walsh… "it ain't the years, it's the mileage." Old soldiers never die, perhaps? Last October during NYCC, we learned[...]

Valiant have to do "zero" issues It's tradition. CBR announced Archer & Armstrong #0 MTV announced Shadowman #0. And we already know about Harbinger #0 All coming out in May. Okay, they don't quite have 52 titles yet But isn't that part of the charm? Valiant have to do "zero" issues It's tradition. CBR announced Archer & Armstrong #0[...]

Much criticised, much mocked, we expected it would be changed for actual publication – and it was. But what was the process? On his blog, March shows the process, the original sketches, the stages of artwork, the finishbed solicited product and then the new version that replaced it. I think I only just noticed, but a number[...]

Will Romine writes; SPOILER/BAD PUNS/GRATUITOUS ALLITERATION ALERT!! Zero month is upon us To celebrate, I've "zeroed-in" on Batman #0, kindly given to me by Scott Snyder this past weekend at Baltimore Comic Con To be honest, if a 6'2 starfish asked you for an advance copy of Batman #0, you'd be hard pressed to say no[...]

Next week the Zero Issues begin at DC Comics And a rack full of very similar looking comics. Image put out the second issue of Black Kiss II… though it won't get past Her Majesty the Queen. And Avatar Press publish the first issue of the new Alan Moore comic, Fashion Beast. Then next week, Avengers Vs X-Men[...]

This DC Comics Zero Issue thing looks like it's getting bigger and bigger The advance reorder chart always overrepresents subsequent prints as this is the only way to order them, take them away and the zero issues dominate Revival, Spider-Man, Doctor Who and Godzilla aren't doing bad either. As as for reorders on books that have[...]

And the week after, DC's Zero issues start, there's a new Guarding The Globe, the Doctor[...]

DC Comics had already announced that the first issues of the DC Third Wave - Talon, The Phantom Stranger, Sword Of Sorcery and Team 7 in October would be

It was later inked by Rich Buckler. DieHardZeroWatch: Just as DC Comics collected the New 52 first issues into a massive hardcover collection, so they are doing with the zero issues, all 55 of them, on sale in December. BatWatch: After the Court Of Owls, Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo bring back The Joker, in Death Of[...]

Officially official: Back in April Bleeding Cool first told you that DC Comics would run Zero issues of their New 52 comics in September, telling origin and early stories of the characters We then followed it up with details such as the Zero issues raising issues that would affect the next issues of all the titles,[...]

Bleeding Cool has been banging on a bit about DC Comics giving their New 52 all zero issues in September, returning to regular numbering in October, to commemorate the one year anniversary of the reboot. DC have not released all their August shipping details To back up our thesis, we could do with a lot of[...]

Last week, Bleeding Cool announced that in September DC would give all the original New 52 titles an issue 0, telling year one, with regular numbering

Very little, obviously. September solicitations are still some time away, but I do have a couple of tidbits. The zero issues, while telling a kind of "Year One" story for the title, in filling in continuity gaps, are also intended to lead into issue 13 of the comics Matters that are raised in the past will lead[...]

And that their #13s will run in October instead. That the zero issues will reveal stuff that happened before issue #1 Year Ones, flashbacks, origins. This might be the perfect opportunity, say, in Batgirl to show what happened in South Africa Justice League to show disparate superheroes working a case, but who never meet Batman, to see[...]
