Guitarsmashley is back with a brand spanking new #1 from Image: Zero
This week's book looks good enough to get maybe 3 whole revies!
TO THE REVIEWS!
SAVING THE WORLD. ONE MURDER AT A TIME. Edward Zero is the perfect execution machine - a spy who breaks the rules to get things done. When a stolen device appears in the center of a long-running conflict, Zero comes to retrieve it. The problem is, the device is inside a living, breathing, bio-modified terrorist and there's an entire army after it.
Writer: Alex Kot • Artist: Michael Walsh, Jordie Bellaire

Post your review in the forum thread or in the comments section here on the front page.
Review as often or as little as you like. Once you've posted 5 reviews, you will be awarded 1 pick. You can post 5 reviews, right? That's a totally achievable goal and with day and date digital releases becoming the standard, it shouldn't matter if your shop ordered enough copies of this weeks comic or not.
When multiple Review Groupers have posted 5 (or more) qualifying reviews, they will be awarded their pick in the order that they qualified. What constitutes a qualifying review? Any review posted (with a score on a scale from 0-10, that's right 0!) within 1 calendar month of the thread going live. Reviews are to be at least 5 sentences long. It shows that a) you have at least read this week's pick and b) you have some unique insight into the comic.
Reviews posted while waiting in line for your pick will be applied to your next pick.
I'll be keeping track of everyone's progress with the newly christened Spreadsheet of Fantastic (RIP, Spreadsheet of Doom) and reporting the results in the Current Members list in the weekly OP. When it's your turn to make a pick, I will PM you. If you do not respond to me by Midnight EST the following Sunday, you will lose your pick and I will start a poll to determine that week's selection.
Any week in which we do not have a Review Grouper with 5 qualifying picks, we will determine the week's comic via poll.
If it's your week to pick, remember to keep it under $3.99.

Kot can out-write media darlings twice his age, like Millar or even Morrison these days. His comics, his blogs, his photostreams, and everything else, Kot is bursting with ideas and acute observations about the world and the grim socio-economic future we seem locked into. Comics are lucky to have him (nice work, DC!).
One of the best parts about Zero is how that well-traveled worldview and futurist way of thinking is so deftly used to build Zero #1's characters and near-future world, and it's done without feeling exposition-heavy in the least bit. Structurally such a strong first issue of anything, with no narrative space or page space wasted--even the inside front and back covers are used as the first and last pages of the story!
10/10

Change, like Mind MGMT, was very hard to find in shops unfortunately.
