* ResignationsNotAccepted: Edward is sent in issue 4 to dispatch an enforcer who left the Agency. The Agent in question, Carlyle, is not surprised.

* WouldNotHurtAChild: A running theme in the comic. Edward's first target wouldn't hurt him because he was a kid. The agency has no problem killing kids.

What seems at a glance like a simple spy story quickly becomes more complex as more of Edwards complex life is revealed. Seemingly unimportant details from early issues later tie into the larger story in surprising and shocking ways. As such, be aware that this is a series with a lot of spoilers. While the series has no regular illustrator, the colors are always done by Jordie Bellaire which lends a strong sense of consistency.

In 2038, an old, scarred man sits on the cliffs of Dover drinking from a bottle. A boy has come to kill him, but before the happens, the man has a story to tell. Thus begins ''ComicBook/{{Zero}}'', an ImageComics series by Ales Kot. ''Zero'' tells the life story of Edward Zero, a former super spy for the shadowy "Agency", as a series of vignettes (each issue being a self contained story illustrated by a different artist) stretching from 1994 to the present. At some point in the past Edward had a moral crisis and quit the Agency, but all is not quite as it seems.

* HopeSpot: Carlyle has one when he meets with woman in Rio. It doesn't work out the way he hoped but it helps him get his life on track.
