DC Universe: Zero - DC


I've been looking forward to this book for a while now. Unfortunately, this particular issue is only a prelude. Or . . a tease, if you will. But the good news is that it gives us a little vision of almost every story-line that's going to be rocking the DC Universe this summer. And there's some really big stuff in store. First we get a little vision of Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds. Obviously it's in the future, and it looks like Superboy-prime is back. He's united all the villains against Superman and the Legion. The George Perez art looks incredible. Next we look in to the Batman RIP story-line. It'll be by the regular Batman team of Grant Morrison and Tony S Daniel. It has the Joker as one of it's leading characters, and it looks equally as impressive. Next we see how the gods are going to turn their back on Wonder Woman. It'll be brought to us by Gail Simone and Aaron Lopresti. The Green Lantern book with go through it's Blackest Night story-line. Again by the regular creative team of Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis. There's a Final Crisis: Revelations story-line, which looks like it'll be a major turning point for the Spectre . . and Crispus Allen. Also I think it'll be Phillip Tan's first DC work. And the book that'll tie everything all together will be the Final Crisis book, by Grant Morrison and JG Jones. I'm not sure, but it looks to me like the regular Justice League book is going to play a big part in all the happenings also. I hope they've used up their vacation time, because I think Geoff Johns and Grant Morrison are going to have a seriously busy summer. But I'll tell you what, if they're going to revamp the DC Universe . . it couldn't be in better hands than these two. But the really incredible part is, besides these two brilliant writers, they have some top-rated artistic talent lined up for the whole shebang. It's only May, but already I can't wait for summer to start. Let's get it on!
