History ComicBook / Zero

* PrettyLittleHeadshots: Brutally averted on Zero's first mission.

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 Creator/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 future. At some point in the past Edward had a moral crisis and quit the Agency, but all is not quite as it seems.
