These days, when I see a "zero issue" I feel like it's a riff from This is Spinal Tap.
- " I wanted to start the story even earlier, so I added a zero to the beginning."
- "Why not just make the first issue start earlier?"
- "This one goes to zero."
C'mon. this is a first issue. And as such, it's a decent start. It's got a little bit of a clumsy structure, with Deadman zapping around and visiting each of the main characters before disappearing again, but overall this sets the structure for the series, which feels a bit like 52. What we have are 12 returned people, each with different feelings about their resurrections, and an over-arching mystery that one presumes will play out over the course of the series. I hope that it does, and i hope that it's all fairly self-contained and that the solution to the mystery isn't just a big explanation that leads to another status quo reset.
Not all of the character set-ups seem all that intriguing at this point. Deadman and Firestorm instantly have recognizable conflicts. Hawkman and Hawkgirl seems to push for one with Hath Set and the Sapphire ring stuff, but we'll see if that can sustain the concept. Aquaman seems a little haunted, but there's still no real conflict there except a slight sense of unease -- we're gonna need more. I can't really tell anything about Hawk & Dove yet, and Martian Manhunter seems like more of the same with just a little superficial difference. So, we'll see. I'm intrigued enough to continue, but then, Johns is always good at setting things up. We'll see how he knocks 'em down.

I think J’Onn trying to revive Mars will end up being the focal point for him during Brightest Day. Don’t ask me why, but I had the feeling that’s gonna be an important plot thread moving forward. And I dig it. We all know that trying to resurrect a planet or city rarely turns out well (with the arguable exception of Coast City). It’ll be fun to see where that goes.
Other things I really liked about #0 were Ronnie and Jason sharing the Firestorm matrix, the Barry/Digger scene, and the star-shaped forest in ground-zero of Star City. How cool is it that a character we’ve always known as Deadman may have the power to bring anything back to life? Fantastic stuff.
