Zero in on new comics this Wednesday, September 26


This week marks the last of the zero issues from DC Comics. Since the introduction of the Court of Owls in Batman, the group of unstoppable assassins have been a thorn in Gotham's side. Luckily, there is one less killer to worry about in Scott Snyder and Guillem March's Talon #0. Calvin Rose was just like all of his counterparts in the Court of Owls until he was able to break free of the group's grasp on his mind. Now, Calvin just wants to live a normal life, but he is going to find that hard to do when he becomes the next target on the Court's list. Batman was born from the death of his parents, and in Batman, The Dark Night #0, he sets out to find his mother and father's killer. You won't want to miss the introduction of Joe Chill or the unraveling conspiracy to destroy the Wayne family. Find even more Bat action in Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham's Batman Incorporated #0. Batman realized he needed help continuing his war on crime, and now readers can see how his partners in Batman Inc. were recruited. Speaking of help, discover the origin of Tim Drake as Red Robin in Teen Titans #0 by Scott Lobdell, Tyler Kirkham, and Matt Banning.

Now, let's go from the rooftops of Gotham to the depths of the ocean in Aquaman #0 by Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis. The city of Atlantis makes its first New 52 appearance in a story set in Arthur's past as he meets Atlanteans for the first time. Don't miss this issue because it will set the stage for Aquaman's future. Speaking of a character's past shaping his future, the new creative team of Scott Lobdell and Kenneth Rocafort take readers back to Jor-El's discovery that Krypton was doomed in Superman #0. Looking for more origins? Discover: why Barry Allen does what he does in Flash #0, what a young John Constantine was like in Justice League Dark #0, how Jonah Hex got his scar in All Star Western #0, and more in Fury of Firestorm, The Nuclear Men #0, Red Lantern #0, Savage Hawkman #0, and Voodoo #0.

Fans of Marvel's X-Men titles should be pleased with this week's releases. In Gambit #3, Remy continues his search for a way to destroy the artifact that's latched onto his body. His next stop is a lost temple in Guatemala, but instead of help he may only find betrayal. In the aftermath of AvX (don't worry, you haven't missed issue twelve), Magneto has an offer for Rogue that might leave her speechless in X-Men Legacy #274. If you've been looking for a good jumping on point, X-Men #36 is an ideal choice. Storm's leadership is called into question and a new team member is introduced. For something a little more multi-verse, check out X-Treme X-Men #4. Dazzler and the rest of the team end up in a frontier reality ruled by outlaws. Find even more fun in Astonishing X-Men #54, Wolverine #313, and Wolverine and the X-Men #17.

Fans of the Avatar cartoon series should be happy to know that the third and final installment of Avatar The Last Airbender: The Promise is out Wednesday. The four nations have been plunged back into war with the Restoration Movement's failure. The new war has once again put Aang and Fire Lord Zuko on separate sides, but will they be able to overcome their issues before one of them pays the ultimate cost?

If all of those great books aren't enough, the books listed below will also be available this Wednesday, September 26 as soon as Dr. No's opens. We look forward to seeing you.
