review 1: Zero Volume One is a terrific graphic novel. Ales Kot is a great writer who will make waves in the comic book and graphic novel genre. Kot is capable of expertly conveying both gritty action and high-concept intellectualism. Each issue has a different artist and this helps separate the issues or "chapters" as Kot calls them. Every done-in-one story is distinguished by varying moods and tones depending on the narrative being presented. The series brilliantly blends espionage and sci-fi genre tropes to produce a complex and intriguing plot. I would highly recommend it for adult readers.
review 2: This is an amazing spy story and I don't really want to say to much as it's going to be best read going in, with as little information as you can have. it starts ... morein the future, 2038, with an old man sitting in a chair looking out at the ocean from the top of a cliff, sipping a beer. He speaks to someone and we see a kid behind him with a gun pointed at the man's head ready to kill him. The man says he won't stop him but he'd like to tell him a story first and so goes the book. Going to the past, bionic super soldiers, killings, killers for hire, spies, murder, death, etc. It is violent, has its moments of empathy, though it left me without any feelings of high hopes, yet I want to know what will come next. It's dark, oppressive and filled with that loneliness you get in a crowd and I'm super eager to read what happens next. A thrilling, captivating first volume! less
