''Generation Zero'' is a comic book series published by Creator/ValiantComics, written by Fred Van Lente and drawn by Francis Portela.
When the city of Rook, Michigan fell on hard economic times, the state appointed an emergency manager who managed to somehow turn things around, transforming Rook into a high-tech oasis. Most of the residents were relieved to see the city restored, and didn't think too hard about what it might have cost, but Keisha Sherman has her suspicions, especially after the sudden death of her boyfriend, and thus calls upon the secretive Generation Zero to come investigate her town. But the Zeroes have an agenda of their own.
----
!!This series contains examples of:
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Cloud is infatuated with Keisha after seeing her thoughts. Keisha is very much put off by this.
* AlphaBitch: Adele Poole, the daughter of Rook's emergency manager, lords her father's position over all of her classmates.
* {{Animorphism}}: Monica can sort of do this (she's actually creating a hard-light image around herself.) Because of her youth and sheltered upbringing, all she knows is cartoon animals. They're still deadly.
* BrainyBaby: Gamete is a brainy ''fetus''.
* GrandTheftMe: Gamete gets around by using her comatose mother's body as transportation.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Cloud has uncontrolled telepathy, causing her to see into everyone else's heads simultaneously. She thus feels that she's on intimate terms with everyone, as demonstrated in her first encounter with Keisha, where she flat-out embraces her and kisses her cheek.
* SpinOff: This series is a spin-off of ''ComicBook/{{Harbinger}}''.
